Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

For most visitors, the standard entry ticket provides the best value as it includes a multi-language audio guide for a self-paced tour of Ireland's largest cathedral. If you plan to visit other major sites like the Guinness Storehouse or Dublin Castle, the Dublin Pass is a more cost-effective bundle than buying individual tickets.

Quick picks

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Groups of 10 or more must book online in advance and follow their booked time slot; the Cathedral says it may not be able to accommodate groups arriving outside that slot.
  • For individual and partner bookings, compare the final checkout total, ticket inclusions, selected date, and cancellation terms before paying; the visible seller rows require checkout verification.
  • The official site lists a joint Saint Patrick’s Cathedral and Marsh’s Library ticket at €17.00, which may be relevant if both attractions are on your itinerary.

Good to know before your visit

The visible Tiqets and GetYourGuide standard-entry rows show €11.50, while the visible Dublin Pass rows show €79; the official site advertises Go City Dublin Pass entry from €69. Compare the final checkout total, date, inclusions, and cancellation terms before paying.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my ticket or are mobile vouchers accepted?

Digital tickets on your smartphone are fully accepted at the entrance; there is no need to print your confirmation as long as the QR code is legible.

Does a 'skip-the-line' ticket bypass the security check?

No, all visitors must pass through a mandatory security screening regardless of ticket type; 'skip-the-line' specifically refers to bypassing the physical ticket-purchase queue at the onsite office.

Can I get a refund if my travel plans change?

Official tickets are generally non-refundable, so booking via partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide is recommended if you require a 24-hour cancellation window for a full refund.

Are there restricted times for sightseeing due to church services?

Yes, as an active place of worship, tourist access is restricted during Sunday services and special liturgical events; always check the daily schedule before booking a mid-day slot.

Is there a place to store large bags or suitcases?

The Cathedral does not have a cloakroom or luggage storage facilities, and large bags are strictly prohibited for security reasons; use a city-center luggage locker before arriving.

How do free tickets for children and students work?

Children under 5 usually enter free without a pre-booked ticket, while students and seniors must present a valid ID to use a reduced-price ticket purchased online or at the gate.
