Two Ways to Travel
Event Express
Share the Journey. Enjoy the Ride Home.
Event Express is CoastConnect's scheduled transport option for selected major concerts, sporting events and entertainment across Sydney and Newcastle.
For selected events, we publish a planned service with designated Central Coast and Lake Macquarie pickup or drop-off locations.
It's designed to provide another way for local eventgoers to enjoy major events without having to drive the entire journey themselves.
Private Event Transfers
Your Group. Your Journey.
Prefer to travel privately?
Book a CoastConnect vehicle exclusively for your group, with pickup and return arrangements planned around your event.
Private event transfers are ideal for couples, families and groups of friends attending concerts, sporting events, theatre, celebrations and other special occasions.
CoastConnect Event Express
A Better Way to Get Home From Major Events
Event Express was created to solve common problem from Central Coast and Lake Macquarie eventgoers:
Getting home after a major event can be harder than getting there.
Late-night train connections, crowded public transport, event traffic and long drives can take some of the enjoyment out of a great night.
For selected events, CoastConnect offers scheduled Event Express transport connecting major venues with designated locations across our service area.
Each Event Express service is planned individually based on the event, venue, expected finish time and customer demand.
Availability, routes, pickup locations and pricing can therefore vary between events.

Getting You Home Is part of the Plan
Your Return Journey Matters
For event transport, getting there is often the easy part.
Getting home when thousands of people leave a venue at the same time requires more planning.
Before your journey, we consider:
-
Venue location
-
Event start and expected finish time
-
Expected traffic conditions
-
Road closures and event traffic management
-
Suitable passenger pickup locations
-
Return travel time
-
Passenger requirements
For major events, pickup arrangements may need to be located away from the immediate venue precinct.
We'll provide the relevant meeting information before your journey so you know where to go when the event finishes.
Every Event Journey Thoughtfully Planned
Major events can significantly change normal traffic conditions.
Road closures, changed traffic flows, pedestrian zones and large crowds can all affect how vehicle access an event precinct.
That's why we plan event journeys around more than simply the shortest route.
Where appropriate, we'll consider traffic conditions, road suitability, toll routes, venue access and anticipated event traffic when planning your journey.
Where tolls form part of your planned transfer, expected toll costs are included in your fixed quote unless otherwise stated.
Our goal is simple: make getting to and from your event part of the enjoyable night, rather than something you have to worry about.
