Damn it, so anyone taking the train to the Exhibition Go has to walk all the way around again to get to Molson, like last year?

    The CNE isn’t until late August, I can’t imagine the grounds are closed this early. I like the idea of parking in Liberty Village, especially as we unfortunately won’t be arriving until closer to 7:30. Worried the lot will be full, or a big line up to get in...

    It's not for the CNE. It's for the Honda Indy, which always falls the weekend after DMB. Hence the title. But as the venue alleged on Twitter earlier, these walkways won't be closed yet. I'll believe it when I see it.

    The lot at the venue hasn’t filled in years.

    Did they say that?! Wow I hope so. Do they mean just today, or specifically about tomorrow's concert?

    Good to know. Which lot do you park in? West or east of the venue? Also remember what the cost is by chance?

    I have been using the east lot. Much bigger then the west. Cost is $25, you need to get a ticket from a machine and display it in the windshield.

    Just took the GO train past Exhibition on my way to work. The grounds are definitely closed to pedestrians and you’d have to walk around.

    Based on that map, if you’re driving in from the west it’s going to be a huge pain in the ass, especially when you factor in rush hour traffic. . Leaving won’t be too bag once you’re out of the venue.

    Everyone always asks me why we don't always go to the Toronto shows, even though it's our home venue. THIS IS WHY. Such a goddamn nightmare to get to and from the venue on a weeknight! RAGE

    We're braving it this year because it's our only summer tour stop and we're bringing our buddy who has never seen them, so I'm really looking forward to that! Husband works in the city today, will drive to the venue and park.... somewhere.... and I'll be taking GO in from Burlington. Friend is biking to and from -- he will have the best commute!

    Taking the GO train from Buffalo (Burlington). This is venue even with the long walk around is still better and more convenient than Darien in Buffalo! hahaha

    If I weren't working today and tomorrow, I wouldn't care. But working during the day makes timing (and then sleeping!!) tight. First world problems, I guess!

    Looking forward to a nice chill evening on the lawn.

    The poster for tonight is a travesty. But one less thing for me to worry about -- I can go straight to the PIT without stopping at the merch stand.

    You guys think it's still worth taking the GO train to Exhibition? Or would driving down and parking at the venue be a decent option tonight? I'd be coming from West of Toronto.

    The road closures don't begin until July 11, so the roads for cars should be normal as per usual. They've closed off pedestrian routes already though.

    Yeah, I figured that out after doing some investigating and pouring over my old MapArt book. We luck out as Lakeshore closes as of the 11th.
    Will park on site.

    Credit Card only for parking, or at least it was a couple weeks ago for the Arkells show. Interac/debit didnt work on the parking metre.

    I hate the Budweiser/Molson/Stage/Amphitheater yet this statement is completely true.

    Heading up to the show from Buffalo as well. Are there any bars/restaurants near the venue (other than what's inside Ontario Place)?

    Wondering what the immediate area is like to grab a bite and a couple of beers before the show.

    Budweiser Stage also posted:

    Parking on site at Ontario Place is very limited during this time as well. Please give yourself extra time to get to and from the event, and plan your route accordingly.

    Have fun!
