Principality Stadium Tickets
Principality Stadium Tickets
Wales vs England at the Principality is one of those fixtures that customers book without much deliberation. The closed roof, the noise, the rivalry — it's a combination that tends to sell itself. People who've been once come back. Cardiff on a Six Nations weekend is compact and manageable in a way that London or Paris isn't, and the pre-match atmosphere in the city centre is hard to replicate elsewhere.
The Principality Stadium is in the centre of Cardiff, which is unusual for a ground of its size. You can walk from the train station in five minutes. That accessibility, combined with the closed roof, makes it one of the most reliably loud stadiums in international rugby.

About the Principality Stadium
The Principality Stadium — formerly the Millennium Stadium — opened in 1999 and holds 74,500. It sits in the centre of Cardiff, adjacent to Cardiff Central station. The retractable roof makes it unique among major rugby venues: when it's closed, the atmosphere is contained and amplified in a way you don't get at open-air stadiums. Most Six Nations evening matches are played with the roof closed.
Cardiff Central station is a 5-minute walk from the stadium. Trains run from London Paddington (2 hours), Bristol and the rest of Wales. The city centre bars around St Mary Street and the Hayes fill up from around midday on match days. It's a walkable city — most people don't need transport beyond the train.
