💡 Guru Tips

Insider tips to make the most of your experience at Charles E. Smith Center

🅿️ Parking Guru Tip

Charles E. Smith Center has structured parking — arrive 45+ minutes early for the closest spots. Check for pre-paid parking options to skip the line.

💵 Bring Cash

This venue accepts cash — handy for merch tables and food vendors where card-only lines are shorter. Keep small bills.

🎤 Small Venue Tip

Intimate venues mean every spot is good. Arrive early to grab your preferred position. These shows sell out fast, so don't sleep on tickets.

♿ Accessibility Guru Tip

Accessible seating is available — book early for the best options. Call the box office directly for companion seating or specific accommodation needs. They're usually more helpful than the website.

👜 Bag Policy

This venue has bag restrictions — check the size limits before you go. Small clutches or clear bags are usually safest. Leave the big purse in the car.

👨‍👩‍👧 Bringing Kids?

This venue has a child policy — check age requirements before buying. Pro tip: aisle seats are a lifesaver with little ones for quick bathroom and snack runs.
