Event-day tips
- Book as soon as you have tickets. The 1 hotels within 10 minutes' walk are the first to sell out on match and concert nights.
- Choose free cancellation where offered, so you can change plans if the date or kick-off time moves.
- Walking back is usually quicker than queuing for the tram after a full stadium empties: a 15-minute walk often beats a 45-minute wait.
- Leave bags at the hotel. Most stadiums only allow small bags and have no left-luggage on event days.
- Kick-off and concert times can move for TV and security. Check your ticket the week before.
