What actually matters
- Rideshare is fine early — it fails most often after the show (surge + chaos + enforcement).
- Your real risk is post-show extraction, not getting there.
- Fixed-route shuttles win on predictability; private SUVs win on control.
- If you drive, plan your exit route before doors open.
Quick FAQ

What’s the most reliable option?
A scheduled shuttle or pre-arranged private pickup with a defined meet point.
Where is the main pickup chaos?
Lower areas and rideshare zones right after encore—timing and meet points matter.
