Rideshare

Rideshare companies like Uber are anticipated a high volume of riders. Not only is the company predicting high wait times, but also high fares. To avoid bumper-to-bumper delays leaving the venue, try to depart well before curtains close. If you plan to travel with a group, you can save a few coins by sharing a multi-stop group ride to the venue.

Here are a few safety tips:

  • Take advantage of Uber’s PIN verification feature
  • Share your trip with others
  • Confirm the vehicle’s make and model
  • Use Uber’s Emergency button if you feel unsafe

Metro transportation

If you are heading to the concert. NRG park can be accessed from the METRORail Red Line. According to Tracy Jackson, deputy chief communications officer for METRO, there will also be more trains in service three hours prior to the concert. If the Red Line is not along your route, no problem. There are three bus routes that are within walking distance:

  • 84 Buffalo Speedway
  • 60 Cambridge
  • 14 Hiram Clarke

If you decide to drive to the big show, remember NRG park is cashless. The rideshare pick-up and drop-off will be in the Yellow Lot off Main Street.

Have a “Flawless” weekend.
