Public Transportation Partnership

Billie Eilish Public Transportation on Tour

Billie Eilish’s HIT ME HARD AND SOFT THE TOUR encourages all fans to explore and take advantage of public transportation options to and from the shows. In addition, the tour launched several initiatives to make this easier and more rewarding.

  • Each venue includes best public transportation options and directions, along with any incentives in their “Know Before You Go” emails sent to all ticket holders before the shows.
  • How to Get There links for every show on the official artist website, linking to public transport information
  • Select venues will offer concessions discounts to fans who show proof of same-day public transit travel
  • Select venues will offer park & ride shuttle services to the shows. These are arranged either with local municipalities or third parties and offered at no cost to ticket holders.
  • Billie’s partnership with Google Maps allows fans to find the most efficient planet-friend routes to the shows, along with plant-based food options along the way.

Group Transit

ODESZA Travel Packages

On The Last Goodbye Finale Tour, ODESZA partnered with 100x Hospitality to offer fans travel packages that included transportation to and from venues. In Los Angeles, CA, Boulder, CO, and George, WA fans could stay at hotels where buses took them to the concert and back, reducing car use. In New York City, a hotel was selected within walking distance (6 minutes!) of the venue.

Public-Private Partnership

Choose How You Move

Developed by Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell in partnership with local venues and businesses, Choose How You Move is designed to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and provide better access to the city’s live music scene:

  • Improved bus service
  • Adding 86 miles of sidewalks
  • Expanding 24/7/365 public transportation
  • Building 12 new Transit Centers

These improvements will give concertgoers better access to live music venues and support a cleaner, quieter, and more connected community.
