Doors normally open 60 minutes before concerts/family shows and 75 minutes before Komets hockey; confirm your event.

What to do
The current owner rates are $8 for ordinary vehicles in the Main Lot, $12 Preferred, $16 for RVs/limousines/box trucks/semis/trailers and $30 select-event advance VIP. Booths accept cash and credit/debit cards. Each payment covers a single entry with no in/out privileges; check your event for changes.
Best option
Use the parking master plan to choose Main or Preferred parking and the correct numbered drive. Accessible spaces are in front of the main entrance and require a valid permit or plate. Bob Chase Way/Entrance 6 is the Arena & Expo drop-off and ticket-office circle, accessed from eastbound Coliseum Boulevard.
Avoid
Do not use staff/media or loading-dock drives as a public entrance. The ticket-office circle permits short visits/drop-off, not event-long parking. EV charging near Entrance 1 has separate energy and extended-stay charges; paying the standard event fee does not make charging free.

The experience

  • Best for: Komets hockey, basketball and arena shows where you compare the numbered arena levels and actual event photos. The seating overview, parking master plan and real photographic tour help distinguish the Arena from the adjoining Expo and Conference spaces.
  • Watch out for: Clear bags are welcome but not required under the general policy; large backpacks/duffels are prohibited and event rules may be stricter. Most concerts prohibit re-entry, while Komets hockey and selected events may permit it. Food/drink concessions are cashless, but parking and the ticket office accept cash.
