hi the easiest way is to get the train in as cardiff station is opposite the stadium. if you choose this option then be sure to book your train ticket in advance as you will get it a lot cheaper.
theres a lot of car parks dotted around cardiff but cardiffs not the easiest place to find your way around if you don't know the place. also the car parks get pretty full anyway and if theres a big event on at the stadium you may find it hard to find a parking spot.
last time i parked in cardiff i paid �10 for 4 hours.
i think theres park and rides on the way into cardiff too which would make things easier

thankyou for your reply, just looked up trains and the last one out is at 22.00 pm so that would be no good. Travelling from Somerset. just dont know what to do now.All hotels are booked and a couple of B & b's on line.Wonder if any public houses near by have vacancies.?

when springsteen played there recently there was a "park & ride" facility set up with car parks near the m4.

there may well be a repeat; check the millennium stadium's website a bit nearer the time. http://www.millenniumstadium.com/3473_3516.php and click "event travel"

Hi
A good idea would be to stay somewhere like Penarth which is a pretty seaside town about 5 minutes away by train. There are regular trains into Cardiff Central station and you'd be right there. (You could always get a cab back to Penarth for about �6 which would be cheaper than parking in 'town'. Hope this helps (lucky you - Madonna!)
