Tips & Advice

  • Prepay your parking online or in the ACE app before the concert, so your space is held and you can change the pass if your plans shift.
  • Arrive early if you're driving, because the Symphony Hall garages fill up quickly and the Symphony doesn't control them.
  • If you'd rather skip parking, take the light rail to the 3rd St & Washington or 3rd St & Jefferson stop, both close to Symphony Hall.
  • Book the Collier or 305 garage at space.aceparking.com if you prefer it, but note these open for booking only 30 days in advance.
  • Allow about two hours and fifteen minutes for the concert itself when you plan dinner or the drive home.
