Katie Taylor v Flora Pili at Croke Park
Katie Taylor faces undefeated French boxer Flora Pili at Croke Park in Dublin on Saturday 5 September 2026.
- Event: Katie Taylor v Flora Pili
- Date: Saturday 5 September 2026
- Venue: Croke Park, Dublin
- Listed event time: 4:00 PM
- Broadcast: Live worldwide on DAZN
The contest has been promoted as Katie Taylor’s farewell fight in Ireland. Taylor is scheduled to defend her WBO, WBA, IBF and Ring Magazine super-lightweight titles while competing for the vacant WBC title.
The listed 4:00 PM time should not be treated as the confirmed main-event ring-walk time. Boxing cards contain several bouts and exact timings can change during the event.
Plan the journey around the complete event rather than a guessed main-event time. Allow enough time for traffic, comfort stops, event-day road restrictions, passenger drop-off and walking to Croke Park.
Check the official Croke Park event page and your ticket information before travelling.
Compare Bus Hire to Katie Taylor Croke Park
Private bus hire to Katie Taylor Croke Park is designed for complete groups travelling together. Bus Compare NI does not operate a scheduled public service and does not sell individual seats.
Your organiser submits the journey information once. Bus Compare NI then helps identify suitable bus, coach or minibus operators based on your pickup location, group size, travel times and vehicle availability.
Depending on the journey, you may receive one suitable transport option or several quotes to compare. Requesting a quote is free and there is no obligation to book.
Transport is supplied by the operator confirmed during the booking process. Fight tickets and transport must be arranged separately.
Bus to Katie Taylor from Belfast
A private bus to Katie Taylor from Belfast can collect your group from a hotel, boxing club, workplace, social club, community centre or another suitable agreed location.
The journey can travel directly to Dublin or include additional pickups in Lisburn, Banbridge and Newry when those stops follow a practical southbound route.
One central Belfast pickup point is usually easier than asking a large vehicle to make several collections across the city. Multiple stops add mileage, increase travel time and can make delays more likely.
Provide the full proposed pickup address when requesting your quote. The operator can confirm whether there is enough legal and safe stopping space for the vehicle.
Groups departing from Belfast can also read our Belfast bus and coach options guide.
Allow Enough Travel Time
Do not choose your departure time simply by working backwards from the listed event time. Allow time for:
- Passenger boarding and headcounts
- Additional pickup points
- Traffic approaching Dublin
- A comfort stop when required
- Event-day road restrictions
- Bus or coach drop-off arrangements
- Walking from the drop-off point to Croke Park
- Security and ticket checks

For general information about private hire, read our bus and coach hire FAQ.
Planning Your Arrival at Croke Park
Croke Park is located in a busy part of Dublin and major events can involve temporary traffic restrictions, controlled access routes and designated arrangements for buses and coaches.
Your private vehicle may not be able to drop passengers immediately outside the stadium entrance. Passengers should be prepared to walk from the agreed drop-off location.
Check the Entrance on Your Ticket
Croke Park has several stands, entrances and approach routes. Every passenger should check the information printed on their ticket rather than simply following another section of the crowd.
Keep Your Group Informed
Before leaving Northern Ireland, send passengers:
- The correct pickup address
- The departure time
- The organiser’s mobile number
- Vehicle or driver information when available
- The planned Dublin drop-off point
- The agreed return meeting point
Under-18 Ticket Holders
Ticketmaster states that anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over. Group organisers should check the current ticket conditions before confirming travel arrangements for younger passengers.
Planning the Return Journey
The return collection should be planned around the complete boxing event rather than a guessed main-event finish time.
Boxing schedules can change if earlier contests finish quickly, run the full distance or experience delays. Large crowds will also be leaving Croke Park together after the final bout.
Agree One Return Meeting Point
The organiser should make sure passengers know:
- Where the vehicle will collect the group
- How to walk back to that location
- The planned departure deadline
- Who to contact if they become separated
- That the driver may be unable to wait indefinitely
Share a map pin or screenshot before entering Croke Park. Mobile networks can become congested when thousands of people leave at the same time.
Do Not Promise an Exact Return Time Home
The final arrival time in Northern Ireland will depend on the event finish, passenger return time, traffic leaving Dublin, any comfort stop and the final drop-off route.
Choosing the Correct Bus, Minibus or Coach
The correct vehicle depends on the number of passengers, required storage and accessibility needs.
- 8 to 16 passengers: A minibus may suit a smaller private group.
- 17 to 33 passengers: A mid-sized bus or coach may suit a boxing club, workplace or social group.
- 34 to 57 passengers: A full-size coach may suit a large club or supporters group.
- More than 57 passengers: Two or more vehicles may be required.
Use the total expected number of travellers when requesting a quote rather than only counting passengers who have already paid.
Include wheelchairs, walking aids, large bags, cool boxes or other equipment in the enquiry because these can affect which vehicle is suitable.
What Affects the Price of Coach Hire to Croke Park?
The cost of coach hire to Croke Park depends on the complete journey. There is no fixed price that applies to every group.
Pricing factors include:
- Pickup location
- Number of passengers
- Vehicle size
- Number of pickup points
- Outward departure time
- Expected return time
- Total distance travelled
- Whether the vehicle waits in Dublin
- Driver hours and rest requirements
- Event-day parking arrangements
- Late-night working
- Operator availability
Read our coach hire cost Northern Ireland guide for more information about private transport pricing.
