weekend parking alert:
Parking Advisory for this weekend's concerts:
Sha Na Na (7/29), Radiance (7/30 & 7/31), Tiempo Libre (8/1)
Pre-paid parking in Preferred Lot is SOLD OUT for Sha Na Na, but is currently available for the other concerts this weekend. Parking will go off sale online at latest 24 hours prior to each concert.
Parking this weekend should be fairly available, though the Padres are in town with mostly early games.
Drive-up parking should be available in the Preferred Lot this weekend. If that space runs out, parking will be available inside the Convention Center Complex and at the Hilton parking structure. A shuttle will run, as usual, from the Hilton parking structure.
If it is necessary to drop off members of your party near the entrance, please do so at the designated drop-off area near the ADA entrance to Summer Pops. You'll just need to tell lot security personnel on the peninsula that you are doing a drop-off. Please refrain from any drop-offs and/or pickups in the traffic circle in front of the box office. This is a very busy area pre- and post-concert with shuttles and buses, and it is essential that it be kept clear for overall traffic flow. After your drop-off, proceed back out to Convention Way and your parking destination.
Holders of pre-paid parking should proceed to the Preferred Lot only.
Accessing the Lots: Coming down Convention Way behind the Convention Center, the Preferred Lot is farther down Convention Way on your left. There will be staff in the roadway to direct you.
If needed, golf-cart shuttles will be available to transport you from the Preferred Lot to the concert site entrance.
Padres are IN TOWN this weekend, but only directly conflict with a concert on Friday night 7/30.
You can read about alternative ferry, water taxi and trolley transportation modes on the “Getting There” page. MTS will be running many extra lines for Comic-Con, so check www.sdcommute.com for more details. (Note: Ferry does NOT run evenings on Thursday.)

Parking
- Adjacent Parking is available for advance purchase at a couple of enclosures near the venue: the Preferred Lot ($20) and the Convention Center Complex, aka "CCC" ($15).
- This reserved pre-paid parking will have priority in both lots, but due to contractual obligations, the CCC parking will not be available for sale until the Preferred Lot is sold out.
- Patrons with a reserved parking ticket that says "Preferred Lot" should drive all the way down Convention Way behind the Convention Center, and through the left curve. The entrance to the Preferred Lot will be to the left BEFORE you drive onto the Embarcadero peninsula. Traffic control personnel will usually be present to guide you.
- Patrons with a reserved parking ticket that says "Convention Center Complex" will drive into the entrance of the underground Convention Center Complex parking that comes up on the right as you drive down Convention Way behind the Convention Center.
- Reserved parking tickets (for either parking location) purchased online within 5 days of a performance will NOT be mailed, but instead can be picked up from a "Pre-Paid Parking Will-Call" box held by the attendant at the entrance to the Preferred Lot every concert evening. (Will-call concert tickets for the same concert will often be attached for convenience.)
- A golf cart shuttle service will be available, if needed, to and from the concert venue entrance from the Preferred Lot. A bus shuttle will be available, if needed, from the entrance to the Convention Center Complex parking.
- Remaining unreserved spots (if any) will be available for drive-up purchase in either lot.
- The Hilton Bayfront Parking Structure at Park & Harbor is another, slightly farther away pay option. Free shuttles will run from this structure directly to the concert site.
- Other parking options may be added as local event conditions warrant, please check back to this Parking page for the latest parking advisories.
- Call the Ticket Office at 619.235.0804 with any immediate concerns.
A Note On Disabled Parking: Limited disabled parking is available on the Marina Park South peninsula for $20 starting at 5pm on concert days. The driver of the vehicle must be displaying a valid disabled placard to access this lot. When these spaces become full, eligible patrons will be directed to an overflow disabled lot nearby.
Parking prices and details subject to change.
Note: The Lane Field double-decker shuttle has been discontinued.
