You need to show your parking confirmation barcode at the gate to enter the car park. This can be printed or shown on a digital device e.g. your smartphone. 

Refunds

All parking ticket purchases on the Authority’s website are final and cannot be cancelled once confirmed. Please select tickets carefully as we do not provide refunds where you may change your mind about attending an event, or where you can no longer attend on that date.

Please read our FAQs for further information.
