Taking my boys to some WWE thing tomorrow evening .

pre booking is £25 !!!
on the day £31 !!

non event car park would be about £9 .

worth chancing it ? or would it be full .

we only live 15 miles away but trains for 3 people will be as expensive and no one can drop us off .

See how much parking is at the hotels in the area as well, some of those do event parking and are walking distance away. Either that or park the other side of the river and get the lift over the river?

Check the parking charges at North Greenwich station near the O2. Parked in there all day on a Sunday a while back for £8 and it was only across the road, got out a lot quicker after too.

North Greenwich tube car park is £11 all day although will probably be full, but if you can get there extra early or even in morning then you can get a space.

No idea how long WWE events go on for, but if less than 4 hours you can park in cinema car park which is opposite the Emirates Airline ski lift type thing entrance, order a cinema ticket online from Cineworld website and you get free car parking for 4 hours. We have regularly done this and have had no issues parking there, we live about 20 mins drive away from O2 and have Cineworld passes and pay £16 a month for unlimited cinema trips, so it effectively costs us nothing when we use their carpark but don't actually watch a film, and just go for some food or a gig/event there.

If you park by the Odeon / B&Q the car park there is free for 5 hours and always completely empty, then you can get any passing bus to the O2. The bus ride is 5 mins tops and there are so many bus routes there will be one along within 2 minutes at all times of day

Told the security we were going to the mo and went to buy cinema ticket . The show will be longer than 4 hours but hopefully will just have to pay the difference.

Cinema ticket worked fine, had to pay a bit extra to cover over time, but total was half the event parking ticket.

Could someone explain WWE?
What a lot of crap.
