Here are some of the details posted for concert goers for Sir Paul McCartney’s show in Quebec City on Sunday, June 20, 2008.

The Program

The show will open at 7:30 p.m. with two guest groups: The Stills from Montréal, followed by the Pascale Picard Band. Paul McCartney will come on stage around 9:15 for a two-hour show. The show is free and no ticket or pass is needed to enter the site.

Site Plan & Giant Screens

The show will be held on the Plains’ main stage (behind Québec City Armoury), the venue of choice for major events in Québec City. There will be seven giant screens onsite, one on each side of the stage, and five more around the site to let the most people possible watch the show.

Access
The site will be closed to the public 48 hours before the show so no one can line up or sleep there the night before.

On the day of the show:

Main entrance, West side of the Plains
Between Avenue Georges-VI and Avenue Ontario, east of Avenue Garneau. The concert site on the Plains of Abraham will be open to the public as soon as sound tests are completed, around 5 p.m. on Sunday. The gates will open at 5 p.m. to allow the public to enter a “buffer zone” before the concert area opens at 5:30.

Second entrance, East side of the Plains
Another gate will open around 6:30 at the corner of Grande-Allée and Avenue Georges-VI.

Important security & access regulations

Chairs are strictly prohibited onsite. People without backpacks will have priority access. People with backpacks must stand in line to have their bag searched for alcoholic beverages or glass containers. Alcoholic beverages and glass containers are strictly prohibited onsite.

Services for people with restricted mobility
People with restricted mobility and their guide/helper will have the possibility to join the line around 5:30 p.m. at the meeting point. Access to the site will begin around 6:30 p.m.

For real-time traffic, parking or other important updates, the City of Québec will run public interest messages on Sunday on CFOM 102.9 FM.

Public Transportation has been beefed up for the evening with more busses, special Métrobusses, Hydro-Québec shuttle, and predetermined embarkation areas. Customers can go to the RTC website or call RTC customer service at 418 627-2511 to plan ahead.
