MiPermit pre-booking applies to stadium parking through location code 737944 (cu-fc.com), whereas the council publishes the Northern Gateway charges by stay length and event type (colchester.gov.uk).

Street Restrictions and Event-Day Enforcement Near CCS
CCS is on United Way in Mile End, near Highwoods, rather than in a residential Highwoods street. The club's travel information directs drivers to the large on-site car park and identifies the path beside McDonald's as the route out of the car park towards the stadium (cu-fc.com).
Drivers attending a busy event should use an authorised car park rather than treating nearby streets as overflow parking, because concentrated arrival and departure movements make obstruction especially disruptive around United Way and the venue access roads.
Rail and Walking Access to the Venue
The venue address is Unit 2 United Way, Colchester, CO4 5YX, near Highwoods, so visitors arriving by train should plan the onward journey to the stadium rather than expecting either station to be immediately beside the ground.

The stadium's MiPermit location code is 737944, and the club advises leaving the car park via the path next to McDonald's (cu-fc.com). Those details are most useful for event visitors who park outside the venue and complete the final approach on foot.
