£60-70 a night for Sat/Sunday currently and obviously you can check the map on the various locations for proximity to the tournament
Are you local to Dublin? If so they have some seats to sell direct as of now
contact customer care and ask the questions
to the best of my knowledge refunds are not given though
Saturday night: sngs/cash. the room is too small to formally schedule in a second MTT
