Kings of Leon in SA – Public Transport Information for Johannesburg
The Kings of Leon are performing two headline stadium shows in South Africa during October 2011. The tour is scheduled for Cape Town Stadium (on the 26th October 2011) and FNB Stadium (on the 29th October 2011). Tickets for the two concerts are still available through Computicket.
Big Concerts, the promoters of the Kings of Leon Tour (presented by Nokia, 5fm and SABC3) scheduled for Saturday 29th October at FNB Stadium, are anticipating capacity crowds and have therefore urged fans to use public transport to get to and from the concert.
The public transport plan for this specific event is based on the successful Soccer World Cup plan, in which extra event-related public transport supplements the usual public transport system. In particular, various rail and bus park-and-ride facilities will be available on the day of the event.
With all these options, and the fact that various roads around the stadium will be closed for the match, fans are urged to make use of the public transport options offered on the day.
The various security checks in place at the stadium often take time and it is best to try and get to the stadium early to avoid disappointment. Gates for the show will be open from 17:30, and the concert will kick-off from 19:00.
The following public transport options are in place for fans traveling to and from the concert:
Park and Ride:
Tickets are R90.00 per ticket (return) from any one of the four Park n Ride locations – Constitution Hill, The Coca-Cola Dome, WITS University (West Campus) and Gold Reef City. Tickets can be bought from Computicket. Visit www.computicket.com and search for ‘Kings of Leon Parking and Transport’.
Park and Rail:
Tickets are R80 per person (return). Tickets can be bought from Computicket. Visit www.computicket.com and search for ‘Kings of Leon Parking and Transport’. For more information/timetables visit www.prasa.com
Concert Tickets in both cities are still available through Computicket (www.computicket.com or 083915800). In addition a few select hospitality packages are still available through Warwick Hospitality on 011.385.9879.
