Official June 12 2013, Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff Thread

Considering getting a train from Bristol for this next Wednesday with a couple of friends, and then just seeing if we can get some cheap last minute tickets. Recent performances and the lack of Sambora led me not to bother getting tickets for this tour, but I fancy showing up and chancing it for cheap, as the Cardiff 2001 show was the first time I saw them.

My question is: has anyone done this before? What sort of prices should I be looking for? I know cheap tickets were available for the 02 shows, but I've little experience in this area.

I don't think you'll get anything better than the "lucky dip" that's being offered by See & Ticketmaster.
The offers that are out there at the moment will be the only ones and I certainly don't think we'll see £5 tickets like we did for the O2.

Thanks, I was thinking more of buying off touts minutes before the start. But thinking about it, wouldn't the venue start dropping the prices the moment the show starts anyway? I know a few times I've gotton to shows late, we've been waved in without needing the tickets at all if it's general standing, typically this is if the show is selling under I believe.

So we are travelling by car to this show. I have heard nightmares from footballing friends about the length of time it takes to get out of the car park after a match. Assuming the same would apply here, where do those with local knowledge suggest we park? Am thinking of parking at St David's Centre (very cheap, plenty of places to eat before hand) and walking. Guess it is about 1.5 miles? Thoughts local bods? Thanks in advance.

I reckon Groupon will make an appearence for tickets at this show too...

Aloha !

I've a feeling Groupon is going to make a lot of appearances for tickets all over Europe. They used it for the second leg in America as well yet couldn't sell all their tickets over there despite some tickets going for $12,50 I say bring on those prices for Europe, it'd make going by car a lot more interesting.

depends what time you get there...before 5pm, st davids will be expensive. there are several spots in city centre for £3.50 for 5 hours..then after 6pm its free but its not secure where as st davids is and yes there are loads of restaunts there. walking may be a bit ok if youre up for it then it shouldnt be a problem or get a bus £3.40 for a day ticket

Thanks for this. Think we will go with St Davids then. Not afraid of the walk - we have long legs!!

They've done it this morning..... Half price GA now available
