Whats 'sticks'? lol
*is a city kid*
You live in Sticks? :shocked:
I had a similar problem when I wanted to go to the NIA in Birmingham to something which finished really late. There was no way for me to get home at all, so I had to end up getting a hotel for the night.
Only problem was I thought the event was at O2 arena, so booked a hotel near there. On the day I realised it was actually at the NIA, and the two are 25 miles apart :puzzled:
Hotel is your best bet like pinkmichk said. Grab some friends and make a night of it :thumbs:

I'm more aless the same!
although Plymouth has the Pavilions and has some really good acts playing there, the more well known ones play at bigger venues. :sad: The nearest is Bristol... 3 Hours away.

Get a hotel I'd say :) Or a B&B :)

Hotels can be really cheap,try a Travelodge. Although you should book early,all the hotels anywhere near the venue for TT in Manchester were gone in about 2 seconds. I'm miles away :rolleyes:

I'd crash anywhere to be honest. Its just a lot to organise and i dont know the area well etc. I might just have to wait til when i can drive.

Are you going to a city venue? If it was somewhere relatively near to the edge of the countryside then you could book a pitch on a campsite.

I live out in the Sticks aswell.
Yeah I know what it was like, and when I come home I still have this problem a bit. Irregular buses, can't drive, no shops nearby. Has advantages and disadvantages.
Was a major motivator for going to uni lol.
