The best way to get to the show is onboard the Park ‘N Ride shuttle that will leave from the Moncton Coliseum. $25 gets you a pass to catch the shuttle which will get you to and from the concert. The shuttle drop-off zone will be near the stadium, allowing attendees to walk directly to the gate.
Bracelets will be available for purchase on event day at the Park ‘N Ride booths in the Moncton Coliseum parking lot, with cash only.
The shuttle will depart starting at 1:30 p.m. Post-event shuttles will depart from the same drop-off location near the stadium and will continue to transport attendees to the Moncton Coliseum until all customers have been returned. Bracelets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
