    Easy to find as the car park is contained within the Arena itself. As for prices you just get what you expect really from any arena/venue/stadium whatever. There are cheaper places in Manchester but if you are coming from outside of the city then it makes more sense to just park at the Arena!

    Yeah should be fine to park right there if you're not super late or anything, it's what I'm doing. Same for London, I've booked parking as I need to drive back Tuesday night.

    Just park in the side street opposite. Single yellows so OK after 6pm. It what we have done for EVERY show we have ever attended at the MEN.

    The queue to get out of the actual arena car park will be horrendous after the gig.

    Just be careful what is on show in your car. We had the baby seat taken (back window smashed and slashed seatbelts) by some manc pikey bastards.

    unless you have been recently and done this i maybe wouldn't. My wife has been a few times in the past and parked down the side streets but they have alledgedly clamped down on people doing this.

    £9 for event parking is very good...think it basically covers up to 24hrs...we used it when we went to KOL in June

    TIP- if you have to get away in good time, pay the full £9 onto your ticket before you go into the gig because theres literally 2 machines to pay for the ticket on exit and you could be there for hours! and try and park on first floor...we got out in 5 mins in june and it was FULL

    just don't park in all the 'event parking' dodgy 'secure' carparks that the gyppo's in hi-viz try and direct you into before you get to the arena
    leeds 26/08/06....electric
    paris 11/09/06.....crushed...but estatic
    wembley 18/06/07.....oh yes
