All-day parking convenient to Big Fish & Belfast Met

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some advice. I work close the the 'Big Fish' in Belfast city centre and am about to commence a course at the Belfast Met, Titanic Quarter at nights, one day per week.
The issue: To park all day beside work it will be £3.60, ideally I would then travel to the Met & park in their underground carpark until late at night. This costs £1 per hour. In total this means for parking I will spend around £7.60 for the day.
I'm trying to work out a way of not needing to walk too far late at night from the Met during the winter months. While busing it would be a lot cheaper, I would need to get two buses to get home which would take a long time.
Is there anywhere I can park for free around 5.15-9.15pm near odyssey/Met? Or any other bright ideas will be appreciated!

I am fairly sure the Odyseey do some sort of monthly parking arrangement, as the Citi Bank people use it a lot. Used to be able to park on Sydenham road for free, but no longer. Eastside park and ride would effectively free (maybe?) as the kiosk man goes home about 7 or 8ish? So in theory you could park there all day for free maybe? (Too good to be true though!) Although it is a long walk from the Met at Queen's Road.
Does the titanic building do any all day parking?Regards, Robin.2011 MFW # 34

The Odyssey does indeed do monthly parking - give them a shout and see what the prices are; I believe they *may* be around £70 per month.0

I believe the odyssey car park is £3 per day up til 8 then pay by the hour if you get a prepaid card from them0

where do you park beside the big fish???? I will be looking for parking thereabouts, and had been parking in the Odyssey which was reasonable and a nice walk in the mornings. I am coming back to work in Belfast from Lisburn, and I think you can still get a monthly ticket.0
