Getting To Go Media Stadium
Go Media Stadium is huge (like, 50,000 screaming fans huge), so plan your journey unless you want your pre-show excitement replaced by mild transport panic.
Your best bet? Public transport.
- Train: The fastest way in. Waitematā Station to Penrose Station roughly every 20 minutes. Train and bus travel is included in your concert ticket so save some pennies where you can.
- Bus: Routes like the 74 and 66 will get you close, and extra services usually run on big show nights.
- Car: Sure, you can drive, but parking fills up fast and traffic post-show is glacial.
