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

Hotel is your best bet like pinkmichk said. Grab some friends and make a night of it

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. 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

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.

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.
