Advantages: great location Disadvantages: expensive inside
...went to the CIA in Cardiff when i was around 14 years old so a few years ago now. i went to see boyzone there and rememebr thinking omg this place is huge and i was really spun out by it all, it was my first concert and i was just amazed by the atmosphere there. So it wasnt until returning some years later to see westlife twice and blue that my opinion changed!
Firstly the CIA is smack bang in the middle of cardiff and is very very easy to get to, ... ...parking fees are costly in cardiff generally)! The CIA is home to many events such as concerts and shows. Generally i have only been to concerts there so I can not comment on anyother event that happens there. When you first enter the CIA there are some charming people on the door waiting to check your tickets ect.

Advantages: Good lighting and sound Disadvantages: price of concessions
...is in the centre of Cardiff and within reasonable walking distance of the main shopping areas and Central station. There is also a large multi-storey car park just around the corner, though the prices there are somewhat steep (they are in Cardiff i general mind).
The goons on the door were a little unfriendly but didn't cause any problems at all. I had to pick up my ticket at the box office which is actually hidden a little around the corner ( to ... ...were in the arena itself is easy to get around, there are basically several configurations of seating.

The boxing configuration has the ring in the middle and some foor seats.
The floor seating looked a little uncomfortable (they had done the tie chairs ...

CIA - Cardiff International Arena. Sounds posh doesn't it? My sister once went there to a blue concert, she was nervous before she went, she was only about 11, but when she came back, those tearful nerves had chagned, melted, navished into beautiful hapinness. She felt it was as if it was destiny for her to be there that night because Duncan (Who?!) from Blue and Lee (come again?!) had waved to her on stage. She was thrilled, smitten, so ... ...While she vagly described the CIA, I had this image in my head of it. My image was much better than what she had described, but it always is isn't it? Huge, massive, so big that she couldn't believe it was how she described the arena. It had ana amazing stage she said, ideal for concerts (well duh!) and the chairs were going up if you get me, so everyone could see the popstars. She enjoyed this "adventure" so much ,she wanted top go again. She has ...
