Parking At A Glance

Parking options (opens in a new tab)

First come lots; coordinate the gate and return trip.

What to do
A portion of the concert ticket covers parking and traffic management, so the owner says no additional payment is required on arrival in its lots. Spaces are first come, and lots open two hours before doors.
Best option
For accessible parking, use the owner’s Apollo South instructions across from the south box office with a valid tag; the owner advises early arrival because space is limited. Rideshare uses Nunnuhsae Park Drive near the North Gate.
Avoid
Vehicles cannot remain overnight. Do not assume an empty space or a parking arrival time guarantees early gate entry. Personal chairs and umbrellas are prohibited; an armless seat cushion must meet the owner’s size rules.
