they really seem to have problems in selling the tickets – tickets for all categories are still available, even Lucky Dips

not too cheap…? how much did you pay for the journey?

so one more question for all English people. We want to take the train from Birmingham International (via Birmingham New Street) to Cardiff this friday. At [www.crosscountrytrains.co.uk] there is a cheap train at 9.05 am for 59 Pounds for two tickets. But as our plane lands at 8.30 I am not shure whether we will catch the train. If not, is there a chance to upgrade the ticket to a standard tarif anytime ticket (115 pounds for both) or do we have to buy an entirely new ticket? In this case I think we should buy the tickets for 115 in advance...

You will struggle to catch that train and yes, you would have to buy a new full price ticket if you miss it. Try booking a later train from New Street (not International) to Cardiff which gives you more time. There are lots of trains from International to New Street and you can turn up and pay £3 to £4 one way on the day.

a rough calculation says 350 Euros (ticket, trains to/from the airport, flights, accomodation) for just one more show…

wouldn't it be better to buy an anytime single ticket? then I have totally freedom which train I take and it is not much more expensive than the train at 10.30! there's a cheap train at 12.30 but I don't want to wait for three hours...

If any anytime single isn't much more, then do that. A cheap train at 12.30 will easily get you to Cardiff in time. Just have a nice big breakfast in Birmingham while you're waiting
When I return from Warsaw to Birmingham, I'll have 3 hours between my plane landing and the train home (from Birmingham Moore Street)

It does indeed. It was closed for the ABB show in 2006.

With sales seeming to be slower for this show, it's a shame that they didn't do the same as the Springsteen show in 2013 which only used half the stadium. With the roof on and the the back curtain, it was closer to an arena gig.

I think this was shown some time last week, wasn't sure if it was official or not.
