The pick-up zone at the end of the concert, for bracelet holders, will be at the entrance to the Magnetic Hill Park on Mountain Road.  The road will be closed to thru traffic, and RCMP officers and medical officials will be on hand to ensure public safety.

Bracelets will be available for purchase on event day at the Park ‘N Ride booths in the Moncton Coliseum lot (cash only) – $10/person (tax included)
