Once in a great while the calendar hands the Midwest a week like this: AC/DC shaking Notre Dame Stadium on Friday night, then the Badgers and the Fighting Irish opening the season at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Wisconsin travelers are heading to both — and this is the guide to getting there and back like it’s the easiest part of the weekend.
Written by the Pharaoh’s Transportation dispatch team — 5.0 stars across 270+ Google reviews, BBB A+ accredited, National Limousine Association members, staged two minutes from MKE and running long-distance event trips across the Midwest every week. We always arrive on time — encores and overtimes included.
Quick Answer: Pharaoh’s Transportation runs chauffeured car service from Milwaukee and all of Wisconsin to the AC/DC Power Up Tour at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend on Friday, September 4 and to the Badgers vs. Notre Dame season opener at Lambeau Field on Sunday, September 6 — luxury SUVs seating six, 14-passenger Sprinter limos, and larger group vehicles, all at flat rates quoted before you ride with no event surge. Door pickup, drop-off near the gates, and a staged pickup after the final song or final whistle so your group skips the exit crawl. Green Bay runs from $349; South Bend trips quoted flat by exact address. Book at pharaohstransportation.com or (414) 322-3751.
One Week, Two Giant Events: What’s Actually Happening
Here’s the run of play. Friday, September 4: AC/DC brings the Power Up Tour to Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana — 7:30 p.m., with The Pretty Reckless opening, in front of a stadium built for nearly 80,000 people. Sunday, September 6: the Wisconsin Badgers open the season against No. 4 Notre Dame at Lambeau Field in Green Bay — 6:30 p.m. kickoff, national broadcast, and college football taking over the most famous stadium in the NFL. And if the Irish bug bites, Saturday, September 12 brings Notre Dame’s home opener against Rice back in South Bend. Thousands of Wisconsinites are traveling to at least one of these — a remarkable number are attempting both — and every one of those trips comes down to the same two problems: a long drive on the front end, and a legendary traffic jam on the back end. Both problems are exactly what a professional chauffeured operation exists to solve.
Milwaukee to Notre Dame Stadium: The AC/DC Run, Done Right
South Bend sits roughly two and a half to three hours from Milwaukee depending on how Chicago behaves — and on a concert Friday, Chicago rarely behaves. Do that drive yourself and the show comes with homework: the tollway crawl, the fight for stadium-area parking among tens of thousands of fans, and a designated driver who hears the whole setlist sober and then faces a midnight interstate home. The chauffeured version deletes all of it. Your luxury SUV or Sprinter picks the group up at the door in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha — anywhere in southeast Wisconsin — with the cabin set to pre-show mode: your playlist on the premium audio, water and snacks stocked, and a professional handling the interstate while the group handles the anticipation. You’re dropped near the gates, not in a distant lot, and the vehicle that brought you is assigned to you for the night — not dispatched to another job while you hope an app finds you a car in Indiana at midnight.
The Part Veterans Plan For: Getting Out After the Last Encore
Anyone who has left a stadium show with 70,000 other people knows the truth — the concert ends when the band leaves the stage, but the night doesn’t end until you escape the parking grid, and that can take longer than the encore set. This is where the professional plan earns its money: your chauffeur stages at a pickup point your group agrees on before the show, watches the timing, and moves on your text when the house lights come up. While the lots are still locked in place, your group is rolling north — seats reclined, the night replaying itself out loud, and nobody doing arithmetic about tolls, fatigue, or the 2 a.m. arrival. For a Friday-night show followed by a workweek — or by a Sunday trip to Lambeau — the ride home isn’t a luxury. It’s the difference between a great story and a rough weekend.
The Group Math: One Vehicle Beats a Convoy Every Time
Stadium rock is a group sport, and the vehicle should match the crew. Six friends fit a luxury SUV with room for the merch hauls; up to fourteen ride the Sprinter limo with the lounge interior that turns the drive into the pregame; and the biggest crews scale up from there — ask dispatch about our largest group vehicles when the whole block is going. Split a flat rate across a full Sprinter and the per-person cost lands below what most fans will pay for parking, fuel, and tolls to drive themselves — except your version includes a professional chauffeur both ways and nobody’s car marooned in an Indiana lot. Every vehicle in the lineup lives on our fleet page, and every quote is flat before you ride: no surge because it’s an event, no fuel or hidden fees stacked on after.
Sunday at Lambeau: The Badgers–Irish Opener
Two days after South Bend empties, Green Bay fills up — and a college game dropped into Lambeau Field is a different logistical event than anything on the Badgers’ normal calendar. We’ve published a complete, dedicated guide to that trip — the Badgers vs. Notre Dame at Lambeau Field transportation guide — covering how game-day service from Milwaukee works end to end. The short version: Milwaukee to Green Bay runs from $349 flat, Sprinters carry the whole tailgate crew, and your chauffeur handles the stadium-district staging while 80,000 people improvise. If your week includes both events, one call books both rides — and yes, groups really are doing Friday in South Bend and Sunday at Lambeau. That’s what a season-of-a-lifetime week looks like, and it’s exactly the kind of double-header a dedicated dispatch team was built for.
Football Saturdays Are Just Getting Started
The Rice game on September 12 opens Notre Dame Stadium’s football season, and from there the fall calendar takes over: Irish home Saturdays in South Bend, Badgers Saturdays at Camp Randall, Packers Sundays at Lambeau. The same standard covers all of it — door pickup anywhere in Wisconsin, flat quoted rates, group vehicles, and the staged post-game pickup that skips the crawl. Game-day groups should see our Wisconsin game day group transportation guide and game day Sprinter limo pages, event nights of every kind run under special events transportation, and flexible multi-stop days — dinner before, one more stop after — run on hourly limousine rental. Fans flying in for any of these connect straight from the terminal via our MKE airport limo service, flight-tracked and staged two minutes from the airport.
Why Wisconsin’s Event Travelers Book Pharaoh’s for the Long Runs
A long-distance event trip is the ride where reliability stops being abstract — if the vehicle is late, you miss the thing you bought tickets for months ago. So judge us by the record: 5.0 stars across 270+ Google reviews, BBB A+ accreditation, National Limousine Association membership, verified Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce membership, ten-plus years running Wisconsin’s roads, professional background-checked chauffeurs, and $1 million commercial coverage on every vehicle. Long-distance is our daily work, not a stretch: Chicago and O’Hare runs under our own Illinois authority, Green Bay, Madison, the Dells — and event weeks like this one, where the dispatch board reads like the region’s sports and concert calendar. Flat rates published and quoted up front on our limo prices page, because the ticket cost enough already.
Notre Dame Event Week Rides: Most-Asked Questions
Do you provide car service from Milwaukee to the AC/DC concert at Notre Dame Stadium?
Yes — door pickup anywhere in southeast Wisconsin, drop-off near the stadium gates in South Bend, and a staged pickup after the show, all as one flat-rate round trip quoted by your exact address. Call (414) 322-3751 with your headcount.
How long is the trip from Milwaukee to South Bend?
Roughly two and a half to three hours each way depending on Chicago traffic — your chauffeur plans the departure window backward from the 7:30 p.m. showtime so the drive never touches the fun.
Can one company handle both the concert Friday and the Lambeau game Sunday?
That’s the point of a dispatch team — one call, two reservations, and the same standard both directions. The Lambeau side is covered in depth in our dedicated Badgers vs. Notre Dame guide, with Green Bay runs from $349.
What vehicles work best for a concert or game-day group?
Six or fewer ride the luxury SUV; up to fourteen take the Sprinter limo with the lounge interior; larger crews should ask dispatch about our biggest group vehicles. Split the flat rate and the per-person math usually beats driving.
Do prices surge for big events?
No — the rate is quoted flat before you ride and it doesn’t move because a show sold out. No event surcharges, no hidden fees.
What about waiting during the event?
Your vehicle is committed to your group for the night — the chauffeur stages near an agreed pickup point and moves on your text when it ends. No apps, no midnight gambles in an unfamiliar city.
