All services along Somerset/Main Road Green Point between Buitengragt and York Road will run along Helen Suzman Boulevard after 16:00. Passengers using this service may board or disembark at the stops either side of the closures at Buitengragt or York Road.
Golden Arrow service entering the CBD
The Waterfront service (CBD bound) will operate via the CTICC, turning right into Heerengracht, stopping opposite Standard Bank, proceeding around the circle, back down Heerengracht and on to the Waterfront. The Waterfront/Sea Point service will continue to operate on its normal routes but may be subject to delays.

The normal service will not be free of charge.
The service will stop at the Stadium bus station en route to the Waterfront and then will be rerouted from Helen Suzman Boulevard into Portswood Road, turning left into Beach Road and right at the traffic circle into Granger Bay Boulevard.

and/or Buitengragt stops as alternatives to the Granger Bay bus station.
On the return journey from the Waterfront, the bus will turn left into Beach Road, right into Portswood Road and left at Helen Suzman Boulevard to continue its normal route to the CBD.
PARKING
Parking restrictions will be enforced in the residential areas adjacent to Cape Town Stadium from 00:00 to 24:00 (midnight) on 7 November 2012, including on Main Road.

Ticket holders must formally request access to the parking bays dedicated to people with disabilities by sending an e-mail to Mike Lord at mike@alliancesafety.co.za. Concertgoers will have to provide evidence that they are entitled to these parking bays by clearly displaying the Vehicle Access Permit (VAP) in full colour on their dashboard when entering the parking area (P5) on Vlei Road. Failure to display will result in access being denied.
Enquiries regarding the limited parking within the stadium for people with disabilities must be emailed to Mike Lord at mike@alliancesafety.co.za.
Parking for people with disabilities is issued at the discretion of the event organiser and is subject to availability.
