If you’re wondering how Tempo Time Credits can offer you Pitch Perfect moments beyond volunteering, let me share my recent footy adventure at the amazing Cardiff City Stadium.
🎟️ What Are Tempo Time Credits?
Tempo Time Credits are a brilliant way to get rewarded for the time you spend volunteering. For every hour you give back in your community with a Tempo partner, you earn 1 Time Credit. And guess what? You can spend those credits on all sorts of cool experiences — gigs, theatre trips, museum days … and yes, even football tickets!
It’s dead simple: volunteers, earn credits, and then browse the Tempo network for available activities. ! For the match I booked and confirmed using my Tempo Credits, via email with the support of the team at Cardiff City — no money exchanged, just a great way to get something back for my volunteering with Get the Chance.
⚽️ Matchday Buzz
The Cardiff City Stadium sits right in the heart of the city, I parked in the Cardiff International Sports Campus, I easily booked a ticket on Eventbrite, costing £10.00. Parking runs from 12-5.30 giving you ample time to arrive and suck up the pre-match atmosphere!
Parking at Cardiff International Sports Campus
I showed my electronic ticket at the turnstiles (super quick and easy with a QR scan), and then it was straight into the ground
🟦 Cardiff City 3 – 1 Luton Town
And what a game it was! Cardiff were on fire from the off. Here’s how it went down:
🔵 David Turnbull opened the scoring early, firing in a great goal to get the home fans roaring.
🔵 Joel Colwill added a second before half-time, slotting home with confidence.
🔵 Perry Ng made it three before the break with a thunderous strike that sent the stadium into overdrive.
⚫️ Luton did grab one back from the penalty spot through Jordan Clark, but Cardiff held firm to secure a 3-1 victory.
The crowd was singing, the players were buzzing, and to be there live watching that turnaround — honestly, nothing beats it.
🍿 Half-Time & Highlights
Half-time was a treat in itself — great food stalls, friendly fans, and loads of chat about who’d step up in the second half.
💙 Why Tempo Time Credits Are Amazing
Using Tempo Time Credits to experience a match like this felt unreal. It’s one thing watching football on TV, but being in the thick of it — hearing the chants, feeling the tension, celebrating goals with fellow supporters — is a total game changer.
Whether you’re into sport, theatre, gigs, museums or something new altogether, Tempo opens doors to experiences that make volunteering feel even more rewarding!
