Traffic around Mt Smart Stadium is expected to be congested for the next two hours as tens of thousands of Ed Sheeran fans make their way to the venue during peak rush hour.
Auckland Transport said travel to the event has just started in the last 30 minutes and would last until around 7pm.
Church St near the stadium was already congested but flowing and Station Rd near Royal Oak was also congested but still flowing.
Traffic would be the worst tonight as the concert started at 5.30pm, right in the middle of rush hour.
But for all those taking public transport, they would get there in a timely manner, Auckland Transport spokesman James Ireland said.
