Can you pre-buy DART tickets? This article seems to suggest you can by giving the link to Irish Rail, but when you check the timetables, it doesn't actually allow you to pre-book tickets for their DART services!???!!!

Anybody know how this works???

Hmm...the question was CAN you pre-buy Dart tickets...online that is????

Hi again - just back from my daily jog and went by the park. The good news is that things are looking more organised. The video screens are up and they appear to be working on the lighting and sound systems. The pit area is nearly built and the GREAT NEWS for us pit ticket holders is that it is tiny - the end of the pit is no more than 40 feet from the front of the stage and the ramp runs approximately 20 feet past the pit so expect to see Prince walk by you tomorrow.

No sign of sound check, there was no new security people, no nice cars nearby or funky looking Prince entourage - just the same people working on the stage as per rest of the week. I guess they'll show up tomorrow for that infamous sound check.

He'll start clicking his fingers every 3 seconds, and Prince fans will start dropping dead too.
