Northern Red Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 For £112 I'd want it washed, valeted, fuel tank filled and tyres checked by the time I got back to it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 I’m doing the park and ride from Portway, it’s so easy but I think you do have to book in advance for this concert and it’s a bit more than for football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 I would have thought the parking by Bedminster Cricket Club will be open, but I think they ramp up the prices for gigs over the football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 For The Killers there last year I caught a bus into town, well Clifton as I thought town and the Docks would be busy. I had a few drinks and food. Got the metro bus to AG. After the concert we walked to Temple Meads and caught the bus home to Briz. Buses near the stadium were rammed, taxis, cars and traffic everywhere with people picking others up. It is a fair walk back to TM but I just wanted to be away. I did the same for Take That too.

Which is very annoying. I'm 99% sure it's actually sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 Just had an email about the park and ride buses. It says the Portway bus leaves, according to What 3 Words, on the north bound carriageway opposite Access Self Storage. That can’t be right can it? It does say southbound but even if the road is closed it’ll be on the wrong road to get to the Brunel rd flyover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted May 26, 2023 Report Share Posted May 26, 2023 When I went to see Take That, we parked up the hill by the Parson Street one way system, walked down and then back up the hill after. Wasn’t too much of a faff and got parked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘kids’ absolutely love this band. The whole tour sold out in minutes, 8 months in advance. That’s hundreds of thousands of tickets at circa £80 a pop. Tens of thousands locked out of the online ticket sales and resale tickets at hundreds of pounds above face value. It’s not my cup of tea either but there’s no denying the level this band is at. I’ll be going as I’m taking my daughter & friends. Should be an interesting gig I think. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s still relatively small compared to some of the gigs they do now. Seen them multiple times - a shit hot live band. Taking my 13 year daughter today who is obsessed with them - can’t wait! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
