Ed Sheeran Concert in Dubai: Tips to Beat Traffic and Find Easy Parking on Day 2

Fans flocked to The Sevens Stadium in Dubai yesterday to attend a concert they would remember for a lifetime. As fireworks lit up the sky, so did the sparks for concert-goers who were transported back to a nostalgic era of romantic tunes. However, the journey to the venue proved to be a hassle for many, with traffic delays and parking challenges. Here are some tips to make your experience smoother on the second and final day of the concert.

Key Takeaways

  • Leave early to avoid traffic congestion.
  • Utilize family entrances for quicker access.
  • Plan your parking strategy in advance.
  • Arrive at food stalls early to avoid long lines.
  • Dress warmly for the evening.

Beat the Traffic

The second and final day of the concert will see doors opening from 4 PM, with the show kicking off by 8 PM. To get the most out of the evening, it’s important to make sure you reach on time.

  • Leave Early: Alison Rosser, who visited the concert with her family, said leaving early was the key to avoiding long lines and packed roads. "We set off at 4:30 PM and arrived at the venue by 5:30 PM. It was an easy drive and the parking was good."
  • Avoid Late Departures: Rosser and her family got stuck in slow-moving traffic when they left the venue at 11:30 PM. "Leave before 11 PM if you want any chance of moving more than a few meters every 45 minutes."
  • Keep Kids Busy: For those traveling with kids, it would be a good idea to keep snacks and drinks to keep them busy during the ride back home.
  • Alternative Routes: Another resident, Giuseppina Fionda Pirfo, recommended leaving for the concert by 5:30 PM at the latest and suggested using the E77 route as the exit.

Get Easy Parking and Entrance

Once you have reached your destination, the next step is finding a convenient parking spot that is close to the location but more importantly is quick and easy to find.

  • Park Strategically: Pirfo suggested parking on the road going back out of the stadium rather than the car park. "I saw a lot of taxis going through the area, so it’ll be easy to get a parking spot there," she posted.
  • Family Entrance: Another helpful tip, especially for families attending the concert, is to use the family entrance created to provide easy access for those with children. "No ID checks anywhere, just scan the QR on the ticket and you’re in!" said Alison.

Avoid Long Food Lines

Many fans posted about long lines at food stalls as the evening progressed. But there are a few solutions to getting your favorite treat and making it back to your seat in time.

  • Explore Options: Louisa Larsen praised the variety of food options available at the concert venue. Her advice—keep walking to the ones right at the back to avoid long queues. "There were no long queues near the ones close to the clubhouse."
  • Early Bird: Others said reaching the food lines before 6 PM would be a good idea, as post that the crowd starts increasing.

Find Good Seating

The unreserved seating option was a dream come true for some fans, as they got a close look at their beloved stars Ed Sheeran and Calum Scott.

  • Standing Section: "We spent the first half in the standing section very close to both the singers before going to find a seat. The atmosphere was incredible, well done Dubai!" posted Louisa.
  • Seat Cushion: Although very spacious, the unreserved seating area proved to be a hard seating area. "Take a seat cushion if you have. It saved my back having the cushion."

Dress Warm

As temperatures drop and the weather gets chilly across the UAE, fans felt the night breeze during the concert. Make sure to keep a jacket and stay warm while making the most of the magical night.

Pyrotechnics, staging, and fireworks were the highlights of the event. In videos that surfaced online, couples were seen getting down on one knee and asking the special question—will you marry me? Such was the effect of Ed Sheeran’s concert in Dubai.
