One New Zealand Stadium has 39 accessible carparks that can be booked for events. Christchurch City offers a wide variety of parking options. Check out their website for the best spots around the stadium.
Public transport
One New Zealand Stadium is just 500m from the Christchurch Bus Interchange.
Metro will be running pre-booked event shuttles to help eventgoers get to One New Zealand Stadium. The shuttles are a managed service that you will be able to book online prior to the event, taking you from 11 different pick-up areas within Christchurch, to Latimer Square and Ara on Ferry Road, both just a short walk away from the stadium.
Regular Metro services will operate under normal timetables, and for large events, routes servicing the interchange may experience over demand, particularly post-event. As these services continue to support everyday travel across the city, customers attending major events are encouraged to consider pre-booking their space on the event shuttle for a direct and guaranteed journey.
Head to Metro’s website for more details.
Drop-off & rideshare
Special Drop-off and rideshare spaces will be available for the stadium depending on the event. Check the event listing on the week of the event for more details.

Limited bike parking is available on Madras Street near the West Plaza entrance (See the interactive venue map above), with additional bike parking located throughout the city - just a short walk away.
