I’m in Oxford all week, and am already going to Manchester on Saturday, but seriously tempted by the several tickets on sale still on Twickets etc. Won’t be driving, so the issue will be getting back to Oxford after the gig. 

Obviously the hotels in Bristol are either full or extortionate, but I guess I could get a late train to somewhere like Bath and spend the night there. 

Anyone who knows that part of the country have any other ideas? The only option that can get me back is an overnight bus to Heathrow and then double back to Oxford, but that sounds horrendous and I’d rather not have a sleepless night. 

£50 for a room in house near Temple Meads through Airbnb? Fairly easy walk to and from Ashton Gate and the train station, probably just need to tell the host that you'll be back late evening after the concert:

My sister and I are travelling down from Edinburgh. Does anyone know Bristol well? If so, we are staying in the city centre and need a plan to get back to our hotel. We don’t fancy walking back in a city we don’t know. Is there easy public transport or is there a pub nearby to try for a cab? Any recommendations please?

You'd be fine walking back to the City centre after the gig.  Bristol is generally safe and the route back doesn't go through rough areas!  Plus there will be a lot of people heading the same way (to the central bus station or Temple Meads train station).

If you want a pub, try the Tobacco Factory or the Lounge on North Street in Bedminster.  Only 5 minutes walk from the stadium. Again, another safe area with taxis driving through all the time.  Assuming the bars and pubs are open then you have plenty of choice to stop for a drink.

I'm going to the gig on Wednesday and I'm also a Bristol City season ticket holder.  Apart from fans being idiots, there are very few problems linked to football matches these days so there'll be no trouble for music. Hope you have a great time!
