crumpiefan Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 How long do tickets usually take to arrive? Ordered mine approx 10 days ago.....last time went (2012) we booked really late and had to collect them from the rugby club. Here's NOT hoping for a repeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellioth4 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Are you able to buy programmes once inside the stadium. We are staying at Cardiff Bay this year and with the fanszone being the other side of town by the Cardiff City Hall, we are gonna stay at the bay for the day and walk up mid afternoon for the speedway.

Yes you are usually able to buy a programme inside the stadium or at the gate as you enter the complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emerald tyke Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 thanks for that info re cheapest tickets (they were the ones i was aiming for) If you check online with both see tickets and ticketmaster they all seem to be selling different areas and i found on one year (when we didnt know how many of us were going, and we bought on the day in Ticket Office) that we ended up buying £37+ tickets as no cheaper were available. Also if you are buying at a late stage tell them you want to collect on the day (in office stated earlier) as post might not get them to you intime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a tout. Even if you're rubbish at haggling you'll get a ticket for £25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 The street outside the stadium. They're not hard to find. They're the ones begging for someone to buy from them and wishing it was a rugby match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Science Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 WILL be a lot more to do and see this year As someone who goes to Cardiff every year I'm hoping there is more at the fanzone to keep me more than the usual 15 minutes. Quite like the live band but it seems that been canned. There must be plenty of speedway personalities knocking around on the day (Loram,Havy etc, lets get em on stage and ask their opinions on the sport . Not just Pearson and Tatum who give us the PR spin. Keep the stage busy with something happening all the time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horneymikh Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Gonna be like last season when i actually attended Cardiff's anti-speedway show. One path on one day track with no passing. Start-boredom-finish. Typical Cardiff but i bet there will be even less people on Millenium Stadium than there was a year ago. Probably right as it's being held at the Principality Stadium this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4gillian Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Find a tout. Even if you're rubbish at haggling you'll get a ticket for £25 ....but it doesn't guarantee you'll be watching any speedway! When my father and I got to our seats 5 or 6 years ago we found two innocent looking twenty somethings in our seats. After calling a steward to investigate, it turned out they bought 'our' tickets from a tout in the street. They were duly ejected from the stadium and to some degree I actually felt a bit sorry for them. So the morale of the story is, but pukka tickets people or you may be very disappointed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresham Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I'm going to have to drive to this event...I usually take the train. What are the best car parks to use for the day? Also...can anyone recommend any decent hotels, that don't cost £200 for the night a short distance from Cardiff? Thanks in advance :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
