RCMP have asked anyone picking up concertgoers after 10:30 p.m. to have a spot pre-determined that coincides with the established traffic plan.
If you're east of the concert site, you'll want to determine a location in the direction of North Rustico, Brackley, Stanhope, Charlottetown, somewhere past the Cavendish Corner.
