Concert Nights at Exactech Arena Are Easy When Your Group Has a Bus
This is the venue where the biggest touring acts come when they play Gainesville. Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center (250 Gale Lemerand Dr, Gainesville, FL 32611) seats about 10,500 fans, and on a sold-out show night, the roads around Gale Lemerand Drive and SW 13th Street back up fast. UF Parking & Transportation coordinates oversized vehicle access on a per-event basis, so bus groups should call ahead to confirm the lot assignment for your specific show date.
A charter bus or minibus drops your group right at the curbside on Gale Lemerand Dr, then stages in the designated area while you enjoy the show — no circling, no hunting for a spot, no surge-priced rideshare at midnight. Compare buses and pricing through Gainesvillecharterbuscompany.net for your next O'Connell Center show!
No More Parking Headaches on S Main Street for Heartwood Soundstage Shows
No matter how many times you've tried to find street parking on S Main St before a show at Heartwood Soundstage, you already know how it goes. The meters fill early, the side streets get picked over fast, and by the time the opener starts, half your group is still circling. A minibus or party bus drops everyone right at the curbside on S Main St for active loading and unloading, then stages on SW 2nd Ave or a nearby surface lot while the show is on.
Heartwood draws a serious crowd for touring acts, especially for shows on its outdoor stage — and one bus means one pickup point, one ride home, and zero cars left scattered across downtown Gainesville. Find your Heartwood concert bus through Gainesvillecharterbuscompany.net in under 30 seconds!
Get a Party Bus and Make the Ride Part of the Night
Get a 15–50 passenger party bus for your next Gainesville concert night and the fun starts the moment everyone boards! Party buses available through the network come loaded with color-changing LED lighting, a full-length built-in bar, wraparound perimeter seating, flat-panel TVs, and a premium Bluetooth sound system — so your group is already in the zone before you ever reach the venue. Whether you're hitting Bo Diddley Community Plaza (111 E University Ave, Gainesville, FL 32601) for a free outdoor show on E University Ave, or heading to a late-night set at High Dive (210 SW 2nd Ave, Gainesville, FL 32601), the party bus keeps the energy going from the first pickup through the last drop-off.

No Surge Pricing, No Scramble — Just One Flat Ride for Your Whole Group
No one wants to spend the best part of a concert night watching a rideshare price spike on their phone. On UF event nights and big show dates at Exactech Arena, Uber and Lyft surge pricing kicks in right when the crowd pours out — and rideshare pickup zones in the general parking lots mean a long walk just to wait in a longer line. A charter bus or minibus through Gainesvillecharterbuscompany.net gives your group one flat, predictable rate for the whole night, a pre-arranged pickup point, and a comfortable ride home the moment the show ends.
No surge. No scramble. No splitting up.

Charter buses and minibuses drop passengers off curbside on Gale Lemerand Drive outside the O'Connell Center. Because UF Parking & Transportation coordinates oversized vehicle lot assignments on a per-event basis, there is no standing charter bus lot — call ahead before your show date to confirm where buses are directed to stage. Several parking lots surround the O'Connell Center, but your specific assignment will depend on the event.
Confirm current details with UF Parking & Transportation before your visit.
Book at least two to four weeks out for most Gainesville concert dates. For high-demand nights — sold-out shows at Exactech Arena, UF Homecoming Week and Gator Growl in early October, and Gator football game weekends in September through November when the O'Connell Center often hosts back-to-back events — book six to eight weeks out or more. The earlier you lock in your bus, the better your vehicle selection and the better your price.
Waiting until the last minute on a big UF event weekend means fewer options and higher rates.
Absolutely! Multi-stop itineraries are one of the most common setups booked through the network. A party bus or minibus can pick your group up at a hotel or home address, stop for dinner or drinks at a spot on University Avenue or downtown, drop everyone at the venue, and pick you all up after the show.
Just list your stops and timing when you fill out the quote form or tell an agent at 352-353-8690, and the pricing you see will account for your full itinerary.
It depends on your headcount and what you want out of the ride. A 15–35 passenger minibus is a great fit for smaller groups and handles downtown Gainesville's tighter streets easily. A party bus seating 15–50 passengers is ideal when you want the celebration to start on the ride over — with a built-in bar, LED lighting, and a sound system.
A 56-passenger charter bus fits the biggest groups comfortably for a longer ride to a stadium-level show. Compare all three through Gainesvillecharterbuscompany.net in under a minute!
Yes! Pickup from UF campus-area hotels, residence halls, and surrounding neighborhoods is common for groups heading to shows at the O'Connell Center or downtown Gainesville venues. Just include your specific pickup address when you fill out the quote form.
Keep in mind that UF campus roads have posted restrictions, and on game days or major event nights, some routes around Gale Lemerand Drive and SW 13th Street see heavy closures — your bus will navigate the best available route for your pickup time. Call 352-353-8690 to discuss campus-area pickups with a live agent!
