The Regional Transportation District is expecting a crush of fans Tuesday night headed to Empower Field at Mile High for the Coldplay concert, and the agency is providing help for people planning to use transit to get there.
The concert venue’s proximity to multiple bus stops and rail stations “makes public transit a safe and ideal way to access the stadium,” the agency said in a press release Monday.
Concertgoers heading to watch one of the world’s biggest bands are encouraged to use the agency’s Next Ride trip planning tool and type “Coldplay” in the destination field. The trip planner will show all available transit options — along with departure times from the user’s current location — in real time to the concert.
The Auraria West Station will be closed from 3:30 p.m. to midnight because of the crowds. Riders should use the nearby Empower Field station.
Following Coldplay’s concert, Post Malone plays in the home of the Denver Broncos on June 15, followed by Metallica at the end of the month.
Transit riders are asked to plan ahead and prepare for large crowds, including on platforms, trains and buses.
