topaz325 Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 Four day parking package £40.00 so would be £41.50 I would think. Bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander15 Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 What is street parking like around the stadium? Is there ample free parking? £10 is a rip off but I don’t want to get there and there’s nowhere to actually park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually there is some, but for the last SoN it was all coned off with police enforcement notices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact its been announced after ticket sales have been open for so long makes it even worse. They bleated about having to have such expensive tickets as it's expensive to put on then release those prices a month later. Not a great look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 I was watching a bit of Welcome to Wrexham last night and they put a 2,500 seat temporary stand in at a cost of $1m, so if the SoN stand is costing anywhere near that amount then it may go some way to explaining the extortionate ticket prices!

Only fair to consider costs involved, I would imagine that there is a cost involved with renting the space for car parks ( with exception on Sth Stand) and security team to man them, all will ultimately be reflected in the end price. For comparison the cost of parking at newly opened co-op arena nearby is £25 per event (even when they end up being cancelled!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its fair and I do appreciate the additional costs, it's the timing that doesn't make it feel right personally. All those factors would have been known when ticket's were released. Do you have to pay to park on a regular Monday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also parking season tickets available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Wrexham will fill that stand 23 times a season, plus Cup matches So a million dollars, which is around £790-800K looks like a shrewd investment when you take into account food, drink and merchandise sales on top.

They were still projecting a $0.5m loss on it!!!

It is 6 figures its costing, and has led to the high costs along with the high amount Discovery are charging. I'm not an economic business person but whether they were hoping for more sponsorship etc but with the high ticket prices obviously lot of people not attending now and that stand not required really.

If it makes you feel better, the parking prices for the 2023 Baseball World Series were $220-$320 - per game... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
