Rob LloydNews

We’re back at the Parc on Saturday as we take on South African side the DHL Stormers in a crucial Round 13 showdown in the BKT United Rugby Championship.

Here’s everything you need to know if you are coming to the game.

What time is kick-off?

The match kicks off at 3pm.

Can I buy tickets on the day?

Yes you can. The ticket office is open from 9.00am until half-time. Tickets prices are more expensive on match-day so make sure you buy yours early!

Is the club shop open?

Yes, the Castore shop is open from 10am until kick-off.  Wales internationals Sam Costelow and Harri O’Connor will be in the shop for photos and autographs with fans at 2pm.

Where can I park?

Public parking is in Car Park B on the Trostre Park side. Cost is £5 per car on the gate with cash and card payment accepted. The car park gates open at 12 midday. Please do not park in residential streets around the Parc. We would also like to remind people not to park on grass verges around the stadium as this causes damage to the surrounding environment and also blocks routes used by the emergency services. Vehicles parked illegally may be clamped or towed away. 

Please also be aware that neighbouring retail parks are operating parking restrictions using vehicle identification cameras. Fines will be issued for those who exceed the time limits.

Please all give plenty of time for your journey if you have a long way to travel.

Do you accept cash in the stadium?

Yes we do, but we will not be accepting the old paper £50 and £20 notes.

When do the stadium gates open?

Hospitality can gain entry at 1pm. The Lolfa (formerly Heart and Soul) Bar is also open from 12.45pm. Pies and pasties will be available. The turnstiles and kiosks are open to the public at 2pm. The Heineken Lounge is closed for the game.

Is there a bus service?

Yes, there is the regular shuttle bus and a new bus service from Carmarthen, which stops in Kidwelly, Burry Port, Coleg Sir Gar and Dominos, Llanelli in operation for this game. Please see below.

What’s on in the FSG Supporters Village?

Your regular food and drink vendors will be open outside the arena, which opens to the public at 1pm. Inside the village there will be inflatable fun for our young fans! Come and say hello and grab a selfie with Scarlets players who will be at the Clwb Cochyn stand. Cochyn will also be there and don’t forget to get your face painted! The Supporters Village will be closed after the match. A number of our charity partners will all be in the barn so please support.

Where can I buy 50-50 lottery tickets?

The 50-50 lottery draw tickets will be available to purchase from the shop trailer in the Supporters Village as well as sellers around the stadium. Proceeds from the lottery go to the Scarlets Community Foundation.

What’s happening before the match?

As part of our match day activities, the Scarlets Choir will be singing in the South Stand first floor concourse from 2.30pm.  The Salvation Army will be collecting before the game so please give generously.

What about the Tanner Banc Bar?

The Bar Tanner Banc (in the East Stand) will be open pre-match at 1pm and will be open throughout the game and post match. Come along and sample a great atmosphere.
