Getting thereArrival timing, parking, transit and getting home
Localtime
When to arrive
Santander doors normally open one hour before showtime, subject to the event listing. Arena box-office weekday hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; Reading Royals game-day sales open at noon. Those sales hours are not audience door times.
Transit & the journey home
The Arena’s main ramp is at 700 Penn Street. A 100-level accessible ticket can also use 8th and Cherry; floor accessible seating uses the elevator behind 114 with staff assistance. Public elevators also reach the 300 suite level.
Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.
Parking
Parking At A Glance
- What to do
- For the Arena, compare South Penn at 635 Franklin Street, Seventh and Washington Lot at 700 Washington Street and DoubleTree Garage at 600 Court Street with your entrance. Accessible spaces vary by garage. Confirm the facility’s current availability and accessible route before paying.
- Best option
- Santander’s parking page lists Reading Parking Authority garages and lots for both buildings. Check the current posted event rate. Gateless locations require payment within 15 minutes using a supported app, text or pay station; entering without a gate is not free parking.
- Avoid
- Do not tailgate, grill, bring alcohol/coolers or loiter in RPA parking facilities. Pay before leaving the garage for your event and enter the correct plate. The venue’s meter-hours note is dated March 2022; follow current signs rather than assuming today’s street parking is free.

The experience
- Best for: Compare the Royals hockey chart with the actual concert map. Club sections 116–118 have slightly larger seats at selected events; the club ticket is separate from ordinary seating. GA floor tickets are standing with no seats and use a wristband.
- Watch out for: Santander’s dedicated FAQ bag section allows one clear bag up to 12 × 6 × 12 inches, a clear 12 × 12 drawstring bag or a gallon clear bag, plus a 4.5 × 6.5 clutch. A later prohibited-items paragraph gives a conflicting larger limit; follow the stricter dedicated bag rule or confirm before attending. No re-entry, including smoking trips.
Why It Works
- ✓No professional cameras, flash cameras, or recording devices depending on the event. Other camera rules may apply. No Re-Entry. This is a non-smoking facility, no tobacco or e-cigarette products in the venue. Visit our Website for a list of prohibited items and our bag policy.
