Which DART station for your gate
Your ticket shows a route colour, set by where your seat is in the stadium. Orange, red and blue routes start from Grand Canal Dock DART station; purple and green routes from Lansdowne Road station.
Check the colour before you pick a pub, so the walk to your gate stays short after the last round.
