MAXX to The Cure at Vector Arena

Cure fans heading to Vector Arena on Tuesday 14 August can avoid parking hassles and leave the car at home, as public transport services by the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA) will drop them off near the door.

Vector Arena is approximately 10 minutes’ walk from Britomart Transport Centre and the Downtown Ferry Terminal. A regular timetable will be operating for all buses, trains and ferries travelling to Britomart, and normal fares will apply.

Passengers can catch The Link bus from various locations around the CBD, Parnell, Newmarket, Karangahape Road and Ponsonby. The cash fare is $1.60 one way. The Link stops on Beach Road, close to Vector Arena.

Passengers are advised to allow plenty of time to get to Vector Arena in time for the concert.

Additional train services will be operating after the concert finishes at approximately 11pm. On the Southern and Eastern Lines, a train will depart Britomart for Papakura (via Glen Innes) at 11.55pm and for Otahuhu (via Ellerslie) at 11.50pm. On the Western Line, a train will depart Britomart for Waitakere at 11.52pm.
