GOING TO FRIDAY JAMS? HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

-

Gates open: 3pm PARKING

There is no onsite parking but there will be some spaces on surroundin­g streets. There is onsite parking for those with valid mobility permits, but you must email info@aucklandst­adiums.co.nz to register.

WEATHER

Western Springs is an entirely open-air venue and umbrellas are not permitted so bring a poncho or raincoat if it looks like rain.

GATE SALES

If not sold out prior, gate sales will be available from the box office on the outer field from 9am on event day.

WHAT TO BRING

You can bring small amounts of non-commercial­ly prepared food from home and a sealed plastic water bottle (up to 1 litre), however, you will probably have to ditch the lid.

You’ll be subject to a search/ wanding on entry. Backpacks, bags of a certain size, video cameras, profession­al cameras, prams and selfie sticks are all prohibited, as well as the usual drugs, alcohol and weapons. Also, note that Western Springs is a non-smoking venue — this includes e-cigarettes and vaporisers. Prohibited items will be confiscate­d and will not be returned.

TRAVEL INFO

Travel on the Northern Express (NX2) and direct special event buses from Midtown is included with your pre-purchased ticket. Remember to keep your event ticket for the ride home. Please note: buses will replace some trains due to scheduled maintenanc­e. Britomart Station will not be in use.

There will be a dedicated fiveminute drop-off and pick-up zone on Great North Rd, between Bullock Track and the Grey Lynn Shops.
