I recently bought my parents tickets for Dickie Rock and the Joe Dolan Experience, plus a weekend away in the Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney as a joint birthday present. I don't know if your parents are the same era? My sister and I went in together for it and it cost €400, but that's two nights B&B plus money for their dinner each night, plus the two shows. It's on July 8 so you could buy it now and they'd have it to look forward to? You could also just do one night away, with one dinner and one show and that would reduce the cost a bit.
Do you have any brothers or sisters that might go in with you for it?
My parents are 41 years married this year and you know the way people say 'what do you get for the person who has everything'? Well my folks are like that! They have their house, they have ornaments, they have photos of the grandkids, they have jewellery coming out their ears, they have charity donations, the works, we've exhausted our options at this stage! What they don't do though, is treat themselves to nights away, so this is perfect for them!
Just a thought, your parents might be more outgoing than mine now and might always be away on holidays or they might be much younger, but thought I'd make the suggestion anyway!
