Get your crew to Meridian Hall, and home again.
Door-to-door at 1 Front Street East, downtown Toronto. Skip the Green P hunt and the post-show surge, get dropped right at the entrance. Private chauffeur from $249 each way.
Three problems with a Meridian Hall night: 3,191 seats emptying onto Front and Yonge at once, a downtown that has no on-site lot, and a crew that wants to stay together. One private vehicle solves all three.
Private Car Service to Meridian Hall
A private chauffeur to Meridian Hall starts at $249 each way and sets your group down at the 1 Front Street East entrance, no parking lap and no scramble for a ride home when the curtain drops.
Meridian Hall is Canada’s largest soft-seat theatre at 3,191 seats, planted in the St. Lawrence and Old Town pocket on the edge of the Financial District. On a sold-out night, three thousand people empty onto Front and Yonge at once, which is the exact moment a door-drop earns its keep.
We have moved theatre crowds, corporate boxes, and birthday blocks to this building, and the case is plain. A 14-seat Sprinter at $700 each way carries the whole crew door-to-door, plus HST (13%) and gratuity, against a Green P garage you still have to walk back to in the cold and a rideshare surge that spikes the second the show lets out. You pick the vehicle, we hold a fixed quote, your driver is at the kerb before the lights come up.
Whether it is the Cirque du Soleil Christmas run, a comedy headliner, or a full Toronto event shuttle transportation block for a corporate group, the same crew that handles Coca-Cola Coliseum transportation and Rogers Stadium concert transportation knows every kerb, one-way, and back route around Front Street.
Meridian Hall Transportation Rates
Meridian Hall chauffeur rates start at $249 each way for a sedan and run to $700 each way for a 14-seat Sprinter, every price fixed before you book and quoted within the GTA. No surge, no parking, no math at the end of the night. Plus HST (13%) and gratuity.

Meridian Hall Car Service Across the GTA
Meridian Hall Directions and Address
Meridian Hall sits at 1 Front Street East, Toronto, ON M5E 1B2, in the St. Lawrence and Old Town district on the edge of the Financial District in downtown Toronto.
The venue is the largest soft-seat theatre in Canada, and it is one block south of King Street with Union Station a short walk west, so the whole downtown core is at the door rather than a drive away.
One detail trips people up: there are three “Meridian” venues in Ontario, and the directions you want are for the downtown theatre at Front and Yonge. This is not the Meridian Arts Centre up in North York, and it is not the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines. Give your driver 1 Front Street East and you land at the right entrance, between Yonge and Church Streets, every time.
Meridian Hall Parking
Meridian Hall has no on-site parking except limited accessible spaces, so almost everyone parks in the Green P municipal garages and private lots within a block or two of 1 Front Street East.
The closest options are the Green P garage on The Esplanade directly behind the hall, the Green P carpark at 2 Church Street a short walk east, the Brookfield Place garage across at 181 Bay Street, and the public lots on Scott Street and The Esplanade. Event-night rates float by date, so prepay through SpotHero, the venue’s exclusive parking-reservation partner, to lock a spot and a price in advance.
Parking is the one part of the night a chauffeur deletes entirely. Instead of circling for a garage, walking three blocks in the cold, then queuing for lot egress after the show, your driver pulls to the Front Street kerb at both ends. For a group that is the easy call. Compare it with a full group transportation and shuttle service and you skip the parking lottery for the whole crew.
Parking Near Meridian Hall
Parking near Meridian Hall clusters in five spots within a two-block walk of the door.
The Green P garage on The Esplanade just south of the hall, the Green P carpark at 2 Church Street at the bottom of Church, the Brookfield Place commercial garage at 181 Bay Street directly across in the Financial District, the Scott Street public lot just east, and The Esplanade public lot just south. Downtown garages fill on a busy theatre night, so the safe move is to reserve in advance rather than gamble on a walk-up space.
Every one of those still leaves you with a walk to the venue and a wait to get out of the structure once three thousand people leave at the same time. A private car is the version of “parking near Meridian Hall” with no walk and no egress queue: the driver waits nearby and is back at the Front Street kerb when you step out. For an evening where the car stays on call, an hourly chauffeur service in Toronto covers door-to-door runs all night.
Green P Parking Near Meridian Hall
The two closest Green P municipal options to Meridian Hall are the Green P garage on The Esplanade directly behind the hall and the Green P carpark at 2 Church Street a short walk east.
Green P is Toronto’s city-run parking network, so its garages tend to price more transparently than a one-off private lot, but event-night rates still vary by date and demand, so check the current rate on the Green P app or sign before you commit.
If you would rather not deal with a garage at all, that is the chauffeur case in one line: no Green P hunt, no ticket machine, no walk back. We hold a fixed quote and drop you at the door, the same way our riders skip parking for Scotiabank Arena shuttle service a few blocks west. For a group, the cost of a Sprinter split across the crew often lands close to what each car would pay to park and still gives everyone a private ride home.
Meridian Hall Toronto Parking
For Meridian Hall Toronto parking, reserve ahead through SpotHero, the venue’s exclusive parking-reservation partner, since the hall keeps no public on-site lot beyond limited accessible spaces.
Prepaying locks both a spot and a price, which matters on a date with a full house, because walk-up rates at the surrounding Green P garages and private lots move with demand and the closest structures sell out first.
The other route is to not park at all. A chauffeur removes the entire parking decision: no app, no garage, no walk in a Toronto February. Your driver handles Front Street, Yonge, and Church on a one-way grid that confuses first-timers, and waits while you enjoy the show. For a premium night out, a Cadillac Escalade limo service turns the arrival itself into part of the evening.
Free Parking Near Meridian Hall
Free parking near Meridian Hall is effectively nonexistent on a show night in the downtown core, where the curb is metered and the garages charge by the hour.
Some on-street spaces shift to free after a posted evening hour, but they are scarce, far from the door, and gone fast on a theatre night, so treating “free” as a plan around 1 Front Street East is a recipe for missing the opening.
Since free is rarely realistic here, the real question is value, not zero. For a couple, a sedan door-drop from $249 each way, plus HST (13%) and gratuity, buys back the time and stress of the parking chase. For a group, a Sprinter split across the crew often costs near what the parking and post-show rideshares would total anyway. Weigh it against the alternatives with our party bus vs Uber for groups breakdown.
Restaurants Near Meridian Hall
The closest dinner to Meridian Hall is The Berczy, a contemporary Canadian and Mediterranean room right at Church and Front Streets, steps from the entrance.
Within a short walk you have Amano Trattoria for modern Italian by Union Station in the St. Lawrence District, Restaurant Lucie for French fine dining in the Financial District, SAMMARCO from Michelin-star Chef Rob Rossi for seafood and dry-aged Canadian PRIME beef, Bar Goa for upscale Indian with a seven-course Omakase tasting, and Chotto Matte for Nikkei cuisine on Bay Street. St. Lawrence Market, one of Toronto’s signature food markets, is a few minutes east for a pre-show graze.
A chauffeur ties the meal to the show in one itinerary. The car drops you at the restaurant, waits or returns, then sets you down at the Front Street door with minutes to spare, so dinner does not turn into a sprint to your seat. For a night where the car stays with you between the table and the theatre, book an hourly chauffeur service in Toronto and treat the evening as one continuous plan.
Meridian Hall Seating and Capacity
Meridian Hall seats 3,191, making it the largest soft-seat theatre in Canada, with the bowl split across an orchestra level and balcony tiers wrapped close around a single proscenium stage.
That scale is why it draws Cirque du Soleil, touring comedians, film-in-concert nights, and family spectaculars: the room is big enough for a marquee act and intimate enough that the upper tiers still feel connected to the stage.
The number that matters to your group is the one at the kerb. One black Sprinter carries 14 people to the door, so a sold-out night for 3,191 strangers is still a private arrival for your crew. The other 3,177 are circling for a Green P spot while your driver pulls straight to Front Street. Move the whole party together with a group transportation and shuttle service and walk in as one.
Meridian Hall Seating Chart
The Meridian Hall seating chart runs an orchestra level closest to the proscenium stage and balcony tiers rising behind and above it, so all 3,191 seats face a single stage rather than wrapping a sports bowl.
Orchestra rows put you near the action for a concert or comedy set; the tiers above trade a little distance for a clean sightline over the whole stage. Exact section and row maps live on the official ticketing page for each show, since stage configuration shifts between a Cirque set and a stand-up date.
Whatever section your tickets land in, getting there unhurried beats sprinting from a garage three blocks away. A chauffeur drops you at the entrance so you reach your row before the house lights drop, the same door-drop our riders use for Scotiabank Arena shuttle service nearby. No section is worse for arriving relaxed, and every section is better for it.
Meridian Hall Events
Meridian Hall runs a marquee slate across comedy, family, and film-in-concert. Cirque du Soleil opens “‘Twas the Night Before…” on December 10, 2026 and runs it through December 31, the company’s first-ever Christmas show, based on the Clement Clarke Moore poem.
Other dates on the calendar include Daniel Tosh: My First Farewell Tour on June 26, 2026, The Wiggles Tree of Wisdom Spectacular on August 30, 2026, Ben Schwartz & Friends on September 18, 2026, and How to Train Your Dragon 2 in Concert on October 16, 2026. Confirm each exact date and showtime on the official ticketing page before you plan the ride.
A holiday Cirque run is the textbook door-drop night: December weather, a downtown that is busy on its own, and a three-thousand-seat house emptying at once. A chauffeur skips the cold walk from a garage and the post-show surge entirely. From a single date night to a corporate block of 40, we cover it through Toronto event shuttle transportation.
Meridian Hall Box Office
The Meridian Hall box office sits at the 1 Front Street East entrance and sells tickets in person, while the venue operator TO Live and Ticketmaster handle online sales.
Buying at the box office can sidestep some online service fees, and it is also where will-call pickups happen, but in-person hours are limited and a line builds before a popular show, so leave time if you plan a box-office run.
Arriving early for will-call is far easier when you are not circling the Financial District for a garage at the same time. A chauffeur sets you down at the entrance, you collect tickets, and the car returns when the final bow lands. If you are making a separate trip just to pick up tickets, the driver can wait while you collect them, then carry on to dinner or home. Lock a fixed price first with a quick get a quote.
How to Get to Meridian Hall by TTC
To get to Meridian Hall by TTC, take Line 1 (Yonge-University) to either King station or Union station, both within a short walk of 1 Front Street East.
King station sits roughly 400 metres north of the door; Union station is roughly a 600-metre walk west. On the surface, the 504 King and 503 Kingston Road streetcars run along King Street one block north, and the 501 Queen shares much of that downtown track, so a streetcar plus a short walk south works too.
Transit gets you downtown, but it leaves you with a walk and a wait at both ends, in whatever weather the night brings. A private car closes that last gap: it pulls to the Front Street kerb when you arrive and is back at the same spot when the show ends, no platform, no transfer, no late-night wait. For an evening where the car stays on call between stops, an hourly chauffeur service in Toronto covers it.
Meridian Hall Directions From Union Station
From Union Station, Meridian Hall is roughly a 600-metre walk, about nine minutes door-to-door, heading two blocks east along Front Street to Yonge.
Some transit apps cite a shorter figure of around three minutes, but that measures to the nearest station entrance, not the venue door, so plan for the longer walk. Union Station is the regional hub for GO Transit rail and bus, the UP Express airport link, VIA Rail and Amtrak, which makes it the natural arrival point for anyone coming in from outside the core.
If you are arriving by rail and want to skip the walk, a chauffeur can meet you at Union and run the final blocks to the Front Street door, or carry you the whole way from home. Union also ties into the downtown PATH network, and Brookfield Place across from the venue sits on the PATH, so you can stay underground most of the way and surface for the last short stretch above ground. For a polished arrival from the station, our luxury SUV service in Toronto handles it.
Hotels Near Meridian Hall
The closest landmark hotel to Meridian Hall is the five-star Omni King Edward at 37 King Street East, about a seven-minute walk and rated 4.6, with the Fairmont Royal York at 100 Front Street West across from Union Station about an eight-minute walk.
Cambridge Suites Toronto is a short walk away as a four-star eco-certified option, and the historic Hotel Victoria sits near the venue for a boutique stay. All four put you inside an easy stroll of the Front Street door and the St. Lawrence dinner scene.
A chauffeur turns a stay-over into one clean itinerary: pickup from the hotel, dinner in the St. Lawrence District, the show at Meridian Hall, then back to the lobby without a single ride request in the cold. Hire a driver for the day for the full evening, or compare the whole lineup on view our full fleet.
Is Meridian Hall Connected to the PATH
Meridian Hall is PATH-adjacent rather than directly PATH-connected: there is no published tunnel running straight into the theatre itself.
What you can do is use the PATH to Union Station or Brookfield Place at 181 Bay Street, directly across from the venue, then walk the final block or two above ground. That keeps most of the trip weather-protected on a cold or wet night, which is the practical question most people are really asking.
A chauffeur removes the last stretch the PATH cannot cover. Instead of surfacing into a downtown February for the final block, your driver pulls to the Front Street kerb at the door. For a group arriving from the Financial District towers for a corporate night, that door-drop is the difference between a polished arrival and a cold walk. Move the whole team with luxury group transportation Toronto.
Things to Do Near Meridian Hall
Within a few minutes of Meridian Hall you have St. Lawrence Market, one of Toronto’s signature food markets, the Brookfield Place and Allen Lambert Galleria across the street at 181 Bay Street, the Hockey Hall of Fame at Yonge and Front, Berczy Park with its dog fountain, and the heritage hall of Union Station a short walk west.
The St. Lawrence and Old Town district packs heritage streetscapes, restaurants, and bars into a walkable square, which is why so many ticket-holders make a full evening of it.
Stringing the market, dinner, and the show together is exactly where a private car earns its place. The driver moves you between stops on a one-way grid that confuses first-timers, holds while you browse or eat, and finishes at the Front Street door. For a night built around the ride, a designated driver limo for a night out keeps the whole crew together from the first stop to the last.
Meridian Hall Drop-Off
A chauffeur drops you right at the Meridian Hall entrance on Front Street East, not a far corner of a Green P garage three blocks away.
That matters most for guests with mobility needs and for anyone dressed for a night out who would rather not walk in from a parking structure in a Toronto winter. Your driver pulls to the kerb at the door, waits nearby through the show, and is back at the same spot when the final bow lands.
Front Street runs one-way and gets busy on a show night, so the timing is part of the service: the driver knows when to stage and where to wait so the pickup is at the door, not down the block. For a group, that means everyone boards together instead of regrouping across separate rideshares. Set it up in minutes with a quick get a quote or jump straight to booking.
Answered, before you ask.
Is there parking at Meridian Hall in Toronto?

The closest are the Green P garage on The Esplanade behind the hall, the Green P carpark at 2 Church Street, and the Brookfield Place garage at 181 Bay Street.

Where is Green P parking near Meridian Hall?
The two closest Green P municipal options are the Green P garage on The Esplanade directly behind Meridian Hall and the Green P carpark at 2 Church Street a short walk east. Green P is Toronto’s city-run network, so it tends to price more clearly than a one-off private lot, though event-night rates still move with demand.

How much is parking near Meridian Hall?
Parking near Meridian Hall is paid by the hour at the surrounding Green P garages and private lots, with event-night rates that vary by date and demand, so the live number is on the Green P app or the lot sign rather than a fixed published figure. The closest structures sell out first on a busy theatre night, which is why SpotHero advance reservation is the safe play. For a couple, a sedan door-drop from $249 each way, plus HST (13%) and gratuity, often costs little more once you weigh the parking and the post-show ride home.
Is there free parking near Meridian Hall?
Free parking near Meridian Hall is effectively nonexistent on a show night in the downtown core, where the curb is metered and the garages charge hourly. A few on-street spaces shift to free after a posted evening hour, but they are scarce, far from the door, and gone fast, so they are not a reliable plan for a 1 Front Street East show. The practical alternatives are a prepaid Green P spot or a private car that drops you at the door and removes the parking question entirely.

Take TTC Line 1 (Yonge-University) to King station, roughly 400 metres north of Meridian Hall, or to Union station, roughly a 600-metre walk west of the 1 Front Street East door. On the surface, the 504 King and 503 Kingston Road streetcars run along King Street one block north, and the 501 Queen shares much of that downtown track.

You can take the PATH to Union Station or to Brookfield Place at 181 Bay Street across from the venue, then walk the final block or two above ground, which keeps most of the trip weather-protected. A chauffeur covers the part the PATH cannot, pulling to the Front Street door so you do not surface into a downtown winter for the last stretch.
How early should I arrive at Meridian Hall?
Plan to arrive about 30 to 45 minutes before showtime at Meridian Hall, which leaves room for the security and ticket-scan queue at the 1 Front Street East entrance and a stop at coat check or the bar before the house lights drop. On a sold-out night with 3,191 seats filling at once, the lines build, so earlier is better. A chauffeur makes that easy: the driver targets your arrival window and drops you at the door, so the only thing between you and your seat is the entrance.
What did Meridian Hall in Toronto used to be called?
Meridian Hall was previously the O’Keefe Centre for the Performing Arts from 1960 to 1996, then the Hummingbird Centre from 1996 to 2007, then the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts from 2007 to 2019. It took the name Meridian Hall on September 15, 2019. It is the same building at 1 Front Street East throughout, originally built for the City of Toronto and funded by the O’Keefe Brewery, so an older ticket or listing under any of those names points to the same downtown venue.
How many seats are in Meridian Hall, Toronto?
Meridian Hall has 3,191 seats, which makes it the largest soft-seat theatre in Canada. The bowl runs an orchestra level closest to the proscenium stage and balcony tiers above, all facing a single stage. That scale is why it lands marquee acts like Cirque du Soleil and touring comedians. For your group, the number at the kerb matters more: one black Sprinter brings 14 of those seats to the door together with a group transportation and shuttle service.
Can you bring a water bottle into Meridian Hall?
An empty reusable water bottle is generally fine to carry into Meridian Hall and fill inside, while outside food and full bottles are typically turned away, and policies tighten for certain tours. Check the specific event page if you are unsure, since touring acts set their own rules. The cleaner move is leaving anything bulky in the car, and with a chauffeur the vehicle is yours all evening, so there is no locker scramble and no walk back to a garage to drop a jacket.
Where can I eat before a show at Meridian Hall?
The closest dinner to Meridian Hall is The Berczy at Church and Front Streets, steps from the door, with Amano Trattoria, Restaurant Lucie, SAMMARCO, Bar Goa, and Chotto Matte all within a short walk in the St. Lawrence District and Financial District. St. Lawrence Market is a few minutes east for a pre-show graze. A chauffeur ties dinner to the show in one plan, dropping you at the restaurant and then at the Front Street door with an hourly chauffeur service in Toronto.

Some apps show a shorter figure near three minutes, but that measures to the nearest station entrance, not the venue door, so plan for the longer walk. A chauffeur can meet you at Union and cover the final blocks, or carry you the whole way, with our luxury SUV service in Toronto.
How far is Meridian Hall from Pearson Airport?
Meridian Hall at 1 Front Street East is about 27 km from Toronto Pearson, roughly 30 to 45 minutes by car depending on traffic on the Gardiner Expressway, longer in rush hour or during a downtown event. A chauffeur runs that route door-to-door with the fare confirmed on your quote, so you are not watching a meter climb in stop-and-go traffic. For a polished airport-to-theatre arrival, an Escalade from $400 each way, plus HST (13%) and gratuity, pulls straight to the Front Street door.
What is the Meridian Hall address?
Meridian Hall is at 1 Front Street East, Toronto, ON M5E 1B2, in the St. Lawrence and Old Town district on the edge of the Financial District in downtown Toronto, between Yonge and Church Streets. This is the downtown theatre, not the Meridian Arts Centre in North York or the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines. Give your driver the Front Street East address and you land at the correct entrance every time.
What is the seating capacity of Meridian Hall?
Meridian Hall seats 3,191, the largest soft-seat theatre in Canada, arranged across an orchestra level and balcony tiers facing a single proscenium stage. That capacity is big enough for a marquee act and intimate enough that the upper tiers stay connected to the stage.

What events are on at Meridian Hall?
Meridian Hall hosts Cirque du Soleil’s “‘Twas the Night Before…” from December 10 through December 31, 2026, plus Daniel Tosh on June 26, 2026, The Wiggles on August 30, 2026, Ben Schwartz & Friends on September 18, 2026, and How to Train Your Dragon 2 in Concert on October 16, 2026. Confirm each exact date and showtime on the official ticketing page. For any of these nights, we drop your group at the door with Toronto event shuttle transportation.
Where do I get dropped off at Meridian Hall?
A chauffeur drops you right at the Meridian Hall entrance on Front Street East, not a far corner of a Green P garage. Front Street runs one-way and gets busy on a show night, so the driver stages and times the kerb pickup to land at the door rather than down the block. That matters most for guests with mobility needs and for anyone who would rather not walk in from a garage in a Toronto winter. Set it up with a quick get a quote.
How much is a private car or limo to Meridian Hall?
A private car to Meridian Hall starts at $249 each way for a sedan within the GTA, with an executive SUV from $300, an Escalade from $400, and a 14-passenger Sprinter from $700 each way, plus HST (13%) and gratuity. A 14-person group splitting a $700-each-way Sprinter round-trip pays about $100 each, door-to-door. If the car should wait through the show, hourly runs from $165/hr for an SUV. Get a quote for a fixed price on your date.
Is Meridian Hall accessible?
Meridian Hall offers accessible seating and limited accessible parking on site, with the bulk of parking handled by the surrounding Green P garages and lots, so accessible spaces fill first-come on a busy night. Confirm specific accommodations with the venue when you book your tickets. A door-drop helps here directly: a chauffeur sets you down at the Front Street entrance and returns to the same spot at the end, which removes the walk from a distant garage that accessible guests most want to avoid.
What is the closest subway or GO station to Meridian Hall?
The closest subway stations to Meridian Hall are King station on TTC Line 1, roughly 400 metres north, and Union station, roughly a 600-metre walk west, with Union also serving as the regional hub for GO Transit rail and bus, UP Express, VIA Rail, and Amtrak. That makes Union the natural arrival point from outside the core. A chauffeur can meet a rail arrival at Union and run the last blocks to the door, or carry you the whole way from home.
Where do I park for the Cirque show at Meridian Hall on December 10?
For the Cirque du Soleil “‘Twas the Night Before…” opening on December 10, 2026, reserve a spot ahead through SpotHero or aim for the Green P garage on The Esplanade behind Meridian Hall, since a holiday Cirque night packs the downtown garages. A December opening with a full house and winter weather is the textbook door-drop night. A chauffeur skips the cold walk and the post-show surge entirely, holding a fixed quote and pulling to the Front Street kerb at both ends with concert limo service in Toronto.
Does Meridian Hall have a coat check?
Meridian Hall typically operates a coat check on event nights, which is welcome for a winter Cirque or comedy date, though it can build a line on a sold-out 3,191-seat house. Confirm availability for your specific show on the event page. The simpler version of coat check is keeping the car: with a chauffeur the vehicle is yours all evening, so you can leave layers and bags inside and skip the queue at both ends of the night.
How do I buy Meridian Hall tickets?
Buy Meridian Hall tickets online through the venue operator TO Live and Ticketmaster, or in person at the 1 Front Street East box office, where you can sidestep some online service fees and pick up will-call. In-person hours are limited and lines build before a popular show, so leave time. If you make a box-office run, a chauffeur can wait while you collect tickets, then carry on to dinner or the show. Lock the ride first with a fast get a quote.
Is it better to drive or book a car service to Meridian Hall?
Booking a car service beats driving on a Meridian Hall event night. Driving means hunting a Green P or private garage that fills on a busy show, paying hourly, walking to the 1 Front Street East door, then waiting in egress after. A car service drops you at the entrance and carries your group home directly. For a night where you want a drink or a relaxed exit, an SUV billed at $165 per hour plus HST (13%) and gratuity removes the parking math entirely.
How much is a rideshare to Meridian Hall on an event night?
A normal-day rideshare to Meridian Hall from inside the downtown core is short and cheap, but event-night surge changes the math fast on the trip home. When a 3,191-seat house empties at once into the Financial District, rideshare prices spike and the wait at the kerb grows. A chauffeur quote is locked when you book, so the fare home is the same whether the crowd surges or not, and the car is already at the Front Street kerb instead of forming a pickup queue.
Can I get dropped off at the front door of Meridian Hall?
Yes, a chauffeur drops you right at the Meridian Hall entrance on Front Street East, not a far corner of a parking structure. That matters most for guests with mobility needs, since the venue’s accessible spaces are limited and fill first-come on busy nights.

Is Meridian Hall the same as the Meridian Arts Centre or Meridian Centre?
No, Meridian Hall is the downtown theatre at 1 Front Street East, a different venue from the Meridian Arts Centre in North York and the Meridian Centre arena in St. Catharines. All three carry the Meridian name, which causes mix-ups, so confirm your ticket says Meridian Hall and give your driver the Front Street East address.
