Travel tips for Teessiders going to see One Direction at Sunderland this week


Thousands of fans will be attending Stadium of Light show :: Here's some details of parking and show times for Teessiders attending gig





Thousands of One Direction fans are set to converge on Sunderland’s Stadium of Light tomorrow night to see Harry, Liam, Niall, Zayn and Louis live and up close - hopefully.


And many Directioners will be making the hop up the A19 from Teesside.


So here’s a handy guide to what’s on when and where you can park near the ground.


Gates open for the gig at 5pm - with the first act on stage around 6pm.


1D are expected to start playing around 8pm with a scheduled finish for 10.15pm.

Main support comes from Australian boyband 5 Seconds of Summer - who first supported the band on their epic Take Me Home World Tour last year.


There will be no parking available in the areas in the immediate vicinity around the Stadium of Light as the roads will be closed around the stadium to ensure the area is safe for concert goers.


But disabled parking will be available to wheelchair patrons only who present a valid wheelchair platform ticket and car park pass for the red car park (this pass will be included with tickets).


The location is in front of main west stand of stadium, near to turnstile 62A which is disabled entry point.
