How Much is Parking at the Wells Fargo Center?

Parking is always available at the venue on the day of the show.

Parking rates have typically been $30 for recent events at the stadium complex, but we should technically warn you that it could change at any time.

You can pay onsite for parking too, by the way.

But we should warn you that the Wells Fargo Center no longer accepts cash payments. They only accept digital payments (including all major credit cards, Apple Play, Google Play).

You can view the options for reserving your parking in advance here. We always get asked, so we should tell you: it is NOT required that you pay in advance for parking.

The exact times that the parking lots open have not been published, but they usually open no later than 4 p.m. for an evening concert.

NOTE: The Philadelphia Phillies are playing a 6:05 p.m. game so the stadium complex will be extra busy as well Wednesday night.

It's important to note that the show will be affected by the Phillies schedule. The Philadelphia Phillies will take on the Chicago Cubs at 6:05 p.m.

This, of course, will result in increased traffic in the area of the stadium complex, so pack extra time.

How Can I get to the SWEAT Tour on mass transit?

SEPTA is always an easy answer to get to the stadium complex in South Philadelphia for an event. The Broad Street Line drops fans off at the most southern stop on the line, which is the NRG Stadium stop.

NRG Stadium is located near the intersection of Broad and Pattison avenues.

You can board the train anywhere along Broad Street, which makes transferring to the Broad Street Line via Regional Rail service at Suburban Station pretty easy.

SEPTA has more information available here. You can view the timetables here.

If you haven’t taken the Broad Street Line in some time, the good news is that you can now tap any form of digital payment to ride the Broad Street Line. Like you can ACTUALLY just tap your credit card or Apple Pay.

SEPTA key cards are still required for the regional rail, however.

Where Is the Uber and Lyft Pick-up Lot at the Wells Fargo Center?

OK. This is a little bit of a change in recent years. You can't get a rideshare pickup after the show just anywhere.

They've made a new ride share lot (for both Uber and Lyft). It's now in Lot T.

PRO-TIP: If you’re leaving the venue, you should try to exit at one of the Broad Street entrances and cross over Pattison Avenue.

Lot T is located just across the street (near the corner of Broad and Pattinson).
