Glamorgan V Sussex Sharks T20 Blast - Ten Top Tips

19 Jul 2017 | Events
Glamorgan face Sussex Sharks on Friday 21st July at The SSE SWALEC in Cardiff and to help you enjoy your, day here\'s our top tips.

1. Please arrive early - As with all events currently, there are bag searches in operation on entry to the ground, which can slow down the speed of queues. Familiarise yourself with the nearest toilets, concessions and bars to avoid queues. Families and juniors attending the match are encouraged to use gate 4 where you can easily access our range of junior activities.

2. Travel – There is no public car parking in the vicinity of the ground so we would strongly advise arranging alternative transport. There are several NCP car parks a short walk away in the city centre should you wish to travel by car and we're a short walk from the city centre, although beware the Sophia Gardens gates through the park close around 9pm after the match.

3. Don't Miss the Fanzone - Take a walk around the ground and make sure you visit the SPTS Fanzone behind the Pavilion and in the National Cricket Centre where we host our match day entertainment. On Friday we welcome plus Glamorgan Development Programme players will be giving a bowling demonstration.

4. Warm Welsh Welcome - We're investing in our facilities to improve your match day experience and now offer FREE WiFi in-bowl for all customers. Connect to the Cloud to access WiFi. Can't find out what you need online, then our stewards and volunteers will be happy to help you on the day. If you have any queries, big or small, please speak to a steward who will be happy to help you. If you would like to report an issue simply text details beginning with GCCC ASSIST to 66777

5. Contactless - We are delighted to announce that we will be able to facilitate chip & pin and contactless payment this year, so we won't have a cash machine on site.

6. Beware of the Welsh weather - Please be mindful of the weather and pack accordingly. Stay safe in the sun and bring a raincoat with you in case of wet conditions. The forecast for today's game is poor, but the venue does have excellent drainage. There is an extra 30 minutes in the schedule before overs are lost, so if the rain passes over there is a chance of starting later for a full game or a reduced overs contest. See the latest forecasts on the BBC website here.

7. Don't forget your TICKETS! - Make sure you have your tickets with you and keep them safe, no duplicates will be issued.

8. Stay within your boundaries - If you are feeling peckish there are plenty of catering options and bars around the ground. Please stay off the pitch and don't bring alcohol into the venue, for a full list of what you can and can't bring here are our Stadium Ground Regulations.

9. Glamorgan Going Green - 84% of our match day waste is now being recycled. Help us grow that number by getting your Green Goblet when you order your drink to do your bit to help Glamorgan stay green. There's a £1 deposit, but you get this back when you return your cup or you can keep it as a souvenir.

10. Can I buy tickets on the day? - Tickets for all T20 fixtures are available from the ticketing booth outside the stadium for £19 adults, £15 students, £5 under 17s. Buy in advance before midnight Friday to save on adult and student tickets.
