So if you spent $350 on the Red Zone tickets (which you must pick up at the venue) you can't get free transport to the gig... :rolleyes2:

Maybe the theory'd be that if you can afford Red Zone you can afford to pay for your transport/limo etc....

So I'm guessing Vert that we'll be waiting for the 12 o'clock free trains to start....

I would have thought if showed the bus/train the email with all the details to pick up your redzone tickets you should be fine. Hopefully Live Nation will get this sorted.

Best to ring up Ticketmaster - they may even have ticket offices set up at Mt Smart.
