stadium parking is (apparently) sold out. Any advice on where to park, as I see the parking around the stadium is 'Free' for 2Hrs only? Any advice gratefully accepted.

No parking charges or restrictions at Ikea next door but one, prepare for long queues to get out though.

Have to be careful with the industrial estates, some of them have draconian enforcement in place. From memory the mk website warns about them.

Parking is an arse ...shame because its quite a nice stadium.

Don't tell anyone but we parked at the Dominos factory which is a 5 minute walk from the stadium.

It depends if you want to go to the pub first.
The Red Lion at Fenny Stratford is a 20 minute or maybe a little longer away and there is parking round there.

We parked on the road near the Red Lion pub at Fenny Stratford lock last year. A lot of yellows there too. Bit of a walk to the ground but a very nice pub. I recommend it.

Are you sure it was actually an Ikea space? I phoned them last year to check that there were no restrictions and they confirmed there weren't - we parked outside (not in the multi-storey) and had no problem at all. Odd.

If you want to book a space in the Park and Walk car park at £6 (probably cheaper than a fine or clamping fee) which is where I parked last year, there are still spaces: www.ticketmonkey.eu/event/23_mk-match-parkingFrom memory its a 5-10 minute walk. You get directions and a e-ticket emailed to you.

Last year I parked in a residential street called Farthing Grove which was only 5 minutes walk from the ground and no restrictions. Google it or use Sat Nav. No queues to get to it nor getting away.

Also booked Park and walk. Can anyone see an actual address for the car park?

Parked there last year - it's signposted when you get close.
If you arrive too early, they park you right at the far end, so you then have wait while all the "latecomers" leave before you. Bit annoying, but 10/15 mins and you're away.

Note for the MK ticket office: its more like 10 minutes than 2.

I took a tip and parked near the Red Lion at Fenny Stratford. 20 min walk from ground but a nice pub on the canal and by sport showing the Leeds 5-2 game from 1984.
If you don't mind the walk its worth bearing in mind for future trips.
