Route 90 buses to Miller Park will operate every 10-15 minutes beginning at 6 p.m., two hours before show time. Return trip bus service operates for a half-hour after the end of the show. Fares are $2.25 for adults and $1.10 for children (6 -11) seniors (65 and over) and individuals with disabilities. Children under 6 ride free with an adult. For more information call the 24-hour automated bus information line at (414) 344-6711 or visit RideMCTS.com.

CAMERAS
You may bring your camera, but lenses cannot be longer than a driver’s license. Fans can share photos from the concert by using the hashtag #OutThereMKE on Twitter and Instagram.

CARRY-INS
Consistent with our game-day carry-in policy, fans may not bring any cans, glass containers or alcohol into Miller Park. Soda, water or juice must be in factory-sealed plastic bottles. Fans may bring food items into the stadium using appropriate containers, but only food purchased within Miller Park will be allowed into Suite areas. Bags, purses, fanny packs or soft-sided coolers must be 16 by 16 by 8 inches or smaller and will be searched. Hard-sided coolers are not allowed in the ballpark.

CDs
McCartney's most recent releases are a deluxe reissue of 1976's "Wings Over America," and 2012's new studio record, "Kisses on the Bottom."

FIELD ACCESS
Anyone who has seats on the floor will need to obtain a wristband to access their seating area. We recommend allowing yourself enough time to get your wristband and get to your seat in time for the show. Wristband stations will be set up near outside near the pedestrian bridge and near the Home Plate Gate on the Miller Park Plaza from the time the lots open (4:30 p.m.) until approximately 5:30 p.m. and inside on the Field Level concourse behind Big B’s Diner near section 126, at the top of sections 110 and 118 and inside of the Hot Corner Gate near the Walls of Honor, beginning when gates open (6 p.m.).

GATES
Gates to the ballpark will open at 6 p.m. The concert is scheduled to start at 8 p.m.

PARKING
Parking lots will open at 4:30 p.m. Advance parking is available for $25 until Monday, July 15 at the Miller Park ticket office. Parking is $30 day-of-show.

RE-ENTRY
Guests may not exit and re-enter Miller Park using the same ticket. However, in case of emergency, exceptions may apply. Please ask staff for assistance.

ROOF STATUS
The roof status is always a big question folks have when we host games or events here. Right now, however, that’s still TBD. As you know, in Wisconsin, the weather can change quickly, but we’ll do our best to keep you updated closer to the show. Be sure to follow us on Twitter ( @Brewers ) for the most up-to-date information.

SHUTTLES
Some places, like Saz's and Fourth Base, are running their shuttles to tonight's concert. Here is a link to our Miller Park shuttle guide, but CALL AHEAD because not all Brewers shuttles are necessarily serving the McCartney concert, too.

TAILGATING
The parking lots at Miller Park will open at 4:30 p.m. and, just like at Brewers games, tailgating is permitted. Keep in mind that gates to the ballpark will open at 6 p.m. and the concert is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. More than 100 portable toilets will be available in the Miller Park parking lots. Please be reminded that Paul McCartney is a dedicated vegetarian and if he smells meat cooking on your tailgating grill, he might come out and kick your ass.
