CMA Awards 2026 transportation in Nashville
The 60th Annual CMA Awards are Wednesday, Nov. 18 at Bridgestone Arena. Label executives, sponsors, artist teams, and hosted guests move between hotels, dinners, the arena, and late events. One vehicle keeps the group together on a crowded downtown night. CMA week events in the city run in the days before the show, roughly Nov. 15 to 18.
Show time: 7:00 p.m. CT (doors by 5:30 p.m., seated by 6:45 p.m.). Source: CMA Awards ticket information.
Hotel, arena, and the rest of the night in one plan.
Timed for doors at 5:30 p.m., with buffer for downtown traffic. One vehicle collects the group from a hotel or residence.
The main entrance is at the corner of Broadway and 5th Avenue. STS does not provide tickets, credentials, red carpet access, or parking.
Hourly / as-directed service through the show. The chauffeur remains assigned rather than leaving the group to reassemble later.
One pickup point for dinners, after-parties, or hotels. Quote-first: a coordinator confirms whether the date can be staffed.
Arrive together, leave together, and keep the night on schedule.
Hourly service through doors, the show, and the after-parties. A chauffeured Cadillac Escalade or comparable luxury SUV suits one to a few guests. The Jet-Style Sprinter keeps a larger party in one private cabin.
- Downtown on show night is crowded, so one vehicle keeps the group together.
- Choose the vehicle that fits the party: a chauffeured Cadillac Escalade or comparable luxury SUV for one to a few guests, or the Jet-Style Sprinter for up to 8 with an onboard restroom and power at every seat.
