Families of up to five adults can travel on the family ticket priced at £10 return. Adults can travel for £5 single or £7 return.

Taxi
Taxis are available outside the venue on Lower Parliament Street and throughout the city at designated taxi ranks.

Motorpoint Arena Nottingham does not have an on-site car park, but its city centre location means there are plenty of car parks nearby.

Our top tip is to not necessarily head for the car park nearest the Arena as this is what everyone else will do! An extra five minute walk could save you 30 minutes at the end of an event.
