Lot Opens

Event-day logistics, U.S. West

You have the ticket. We handle everything between the car and your seat.

Where to park, what bag gets turned away at the gate, how early to show up, and how to get out afterward without losing an hour. Written for people who go to a venue once or twice a year, not for season-ticket holders who already know.

Every number here names who published it

Bag dimensions, garage rates, gate times and last train departures come from the venue, the team, the transit agency or the parking authority, and each one carries the month we checked it. When a venue does not publish a number, we say so instead of borrowing one from a third party. Aggregator prices are labelled as the operator’s own, never as the official rate.

Venues change rules without notice. Check the issuer before you go.
