Parking Rush for the Olympic Football Matches

May 11, 2012 - PRLog -- All eyes are on the UK this summer as the country plays host to the Olympic Games and as predicted there will be a huge rush for parking spaces for many of the events, such as the football matches that Great Britain are set to play. The scheduled matches for Great Britain are to be held on the following days and at the following venues:

25th July 2012 – Millennium Stadium, Great Britain VS New Zealand (Women’s event)

26th July 2012 – Old Trafford, Great Britain VS Senegal (Men’s event)

28th July 2012 – Millennium Stadium Cardiff, Great Britain VS  Cameroon (Women’s event)

31st July 2012 – Wembley Stadium, Great Britain VS Brazil (Men’s event)

1st August 2012 – Millennium Stadium, Great Britain VS Uruguay (Women’s event)

The winners of the matches will then move forward in the competition with the final being played at Wembley Stadium on 6th August 2012 where spaces on private parking sites like YourParkingSpace below are already being booked up:

Parking in near many of the other stadiums is always at a premium during the year, but when there is increased traffic and tourists visiting these stadiums it will become even harder to secure a parking space. To combat this and to make money, residents who live close to the stadiums that are hosting the matches are renting out their driveways for individual games or for all of the games for a single price. Wembley was mentioned above but the demand is just as strong at other grounds, such as Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium:

Clearly this is a way of generating money that requires no real effort on the part of the owner of the driveway. One of the leading websites which allows residents to advertise their driveways is YourParkingSpace.co.uk and this can help residents cut out much of the legwork of advertising themselves.

If you live in one of the areas where the stadiums are and you have a free parking space that belongs to you, you could benefit from renting yours out during this time.
