Just wondering if there's any shuttle to get to and from concerts. Uber is always an option, but it's probably $30+ each way, and still a long wait. Thanks and cheers!

Can’t answer your original question, but avoid Uber for Riverbend at all costs. The drop off zone is nowhere near the venue, it’s extremely chaotic after the event, and it cost me $60 to get back to Newport after Vampire Weekend a few weeks ago.
I agree with this 100% .... But what I do if I am planning to drink and Uber is hang out at the casino about an hour til things die down a bit. Not really the answer they're looking for, just putting it out there that this can help a bit. But yeah the cost (back to Colerain) was $50 something. Still better than driving drunk, risking hurting yourself of others, or getting an OVI ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, good point. “At all costs” is a bad choice of words when drunk driving is a possibility. My dumb ass didn’t even drink last time was there; I just figured it’d be easier to not deal with parking and had no idea what a shitshow their Uber setup would be. Turns out their parking situation isn’t bad at all.
There are oggo's that will take you around OTR/downtown. Doesn't go to Riverbend though.
The question was to get from downtown (or nearby such as OTR) to Riverbend so the answer is no.
I actually signed up for a [riverboat shuttle](http://www.queencityriverboats.com/phone/concert-cruises.html). Seems like it could be fun. Doesn't seem like they have a valid security certificate on their site, but whatever. Figured I'd update this post.
I've actually taken this boat trip to several concerts and it's always a good time. The boats they use most definitely aren't high end but you get a unique experience with a bar and views
Shouldn’t be an issue as it looks like the payment goes through a different site with a valid cert.
