Transport — what you need to know
With less than a month to the opening of the America's Cup Village, ticket holders will soon be able to book their transportation online. The recommended modes of transport are:
Dedicated America's Cup Village Ferry — FAST. EASY. COOL.
Spectators are encouraged to travel to the America's Cup Village by ferry. This will reduce the volume of traffic and possible congestion on the roads in the west end. It is also a faster more convenient way for spectators to travel. Travel by dedicated America's Cup Village ferry is $5 each way per adult and $2.50 per child.
Dedicated ferries will run direct from Hamilton to the America's Cup Village dock daily, and dedicated America's Cup ferries are scheduled from St. George's to America's Cup Village dock on weekends. These can be booked online at www.americascup.com/tickets from early May.
Public transport and motorbikes
Other preferred options are public bus, public ferry, taxi or motorbikes. These vehicles all have access to Dockyard as normal. Those arriving to Dockyard by public ferry will have the option to ride a free shuttle train from in front of the Clocktower Mall to the America's Cup Village or they can walk from the Dockyard ferry terminal to America's Cup Village.
Locals are encouraged to ride their motorbike to the event as bike parking is FREE and there's plenty of it close to the America's Cup Village entrance. Helmets should be stored on the bike as they cannot be taken into the event.
