FAQS

By purchasing a deposit only package, you are securing your game ticket section and committing to the purchase of the travel package of your choice at a later date. Game tickets are only available through official travel and/or hospitality packages until spring of 2026. By signing up early, you secure the best seats in the stadium. Deposit Only packages must select a travel package by October 1, 2025. However, the best offerings will fill up first, so we encourage you to select a travel package early. Should you change your mind later, we can change your reservation to a different package available at that time. Please note that the deposit is non-refundable. 

On Location travel packages include the best seats in the stadium, hotel accommodations with full Irish breakfast daily, an exclusive school Welcome Party, regional excursions with tour guides and regional transfers (for 2- and 3-City itineraries), a Dublin attraction ticket with one-day access to Hop-on Hop-off buses and over 30 of the best destinations in the city, a commemorative souvenir and credential, and trained on-site staff to assist with your stay. 

Our goal is to make paying for your trip as easy as possible. Once you have selected a travel package you have the option to set up a payment plan. The payment plan will divide the package total into equal payments that are charged monthly to the credit card on file. On Location does not charge a fee for payment plans. Your total must be paid in full by May 2026. As a result, establishing a payment plan early will result in smaller monthly payments. For reservation policies, click here.  

Guests can select a ticket section from the available sections at the time of reservation in Step 3. 

Group airfare packages will be released in November 2025 as airlines release their flight schedules approximately 10 months prior to the month of the event.  

Please note, this is for airfare between the United States and Ireland. If your travel package includes two different countries, such as an Edinburgh/Dublin package, a one-way flight from Scotland to Dublin is included in the package.

Airport transfers are not included for guests who do NOT purchase a group air package.  Air package buyers will have airport transfers included both to and from the airport.  

Approximate transfer durations from Dublin & Shannon Airport to other cities outside of Dublin are listed below. Shannon Airport is a much more convenient airport for guests going to Cork, Galway or Kerry while guests going to Belfast or Kilkenny should fly into Dublin Airport. Guests not traveling outside of Dublin, should fly in and out of Dublin Airport.

• Dublin to Belfast = 2.5 Hours | Shannon to Belfast = 5 Hours 
• Dublin to Cork = 4 Hours | Shannon to Cork = 2 Hours 
• Dublin to Galway = 3 Hours | Shannon to Galway = 1.5 Hours 
• Dublin to Kerry = 5 Hours | Shannon to Kerry = 2.5 Hours 
• Dublin to Kilkenny = 2.5 Hours | Shannon to Kilkenny = 2.5 Hours 

Irish Airports are much smaller than most American airports and will experience high volume on your departure day. Please anticipate an early start on your departure day. We will schedule your transfer to get you to the airport at least 3 hours in advance of your departure time. This will be necessary to ensure you are able to make it through check-in, security, and customs prior to your flight. Final confirmation of departure airport transfer pick-up times will be sent approximately 30 days prior to departure.  

We consider a special request the following: 

• Triple / quad occupancy 
• Due to the average size of a room in Ireland being smaller compared to the U.S., triple and quad occupancy is by request only
