Getting thereArrival timing, parking, transit and getting home
Localtime
When to arrive
The dedicated ticket page lists Thursday/Friday 10 a.m.–5 p.m. sales, conflicting with older FAQ weekday hours. Arena event-day sales open at least two hours before showtime; the theater counter opens one hour before. These are box-office times, not audience doors; check your show.
Transit & the journey home
Five Flags Center is at 405 Main Street, Dubuque, IA 52001. The main box office uses the Locust Street entrance; the theater lobby counter operates at showtimes. The owner identifies Main Street in front of the theater for pickup/drop-off.
Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.
Parking
Parking At A Glance
- What to do
- The owner lists meters enforced Monday–Saturday 8 a.m.–5 p.m., free after 5 p.m. and Sundays. Read the actual meter and temporary restrictions before leaving. Main Street theater-front pickup/drop-off is separate from leaving a car parked.
- Best option
- The dedicated owner parking page lists the Five Flags ramp a half-block away on 4th Street between Main and Iowa, with $10 event parking and a required exit by 2 a.m. Verify current signs and event arrangements; admission does not reserve a space.
- Avoid
- Accessible spaces around Five Flags are limited and not guaranteed. Check your route to the arena or theater before paying, and leave the ramp by its posted closing/exit deadline. Do not treat general metered-parking hours as an exception to temporary restrictions.
