🅿️ Parking

Parking is available in the PPG Paints Arena lots as well as the PPG Paints Arena Garage for non-hockey events. Event parking rates vary. Check your event information page or email info@ppgpaintsarena.com for specific parking rates. Charter and school busses park for free on the street (follow directions of event staff).

👶 Child Policy

For most events, children under the age of two are not required to have a ticket. However, should you wish for your child to have their own seat, a ticket is required. Shows intended for a younger audience (i.e., Sesame Street Live, The Wiggles) require that children who have celebrated their first birthday have a ticket. Please check each event individually for age requirements. Children under the age of 2 do not require a ticket to attend a Pittsburgh Penguins home game provided they sit on the lap of an adult throughout the game. Any child who has celebrated their 2nd birthday will need a ticket to enter the building.

💡 Guru Tips

Insider tips to make the most of your experience at PPG Paints Arena

🅿️ Parking Guru Tip

PPG Paints Arena has structured parking — arrive 45+ minutes early for the closest spots. Check for pre-paid parking options to skip the line.

💰 Free Parking

Good news — this venue offers free parking. Still arrive early for the best spots near the entrance.

🏟️ Arena Insider

For concerts in arenas, mid-level sections (200s) often have the best sound. Floor seats look great on paper but sound can be muddy and sightlines blocked by standing crowds.

📅 Busy Venue

PPG Paints Arena hosts 499+ events — it's a popular spot. For big shows, arrive 30-60 minutes early to clear security, grab food, and settle in without stress.

👨‍👩‍👧 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.

🚕 Rideshare Tip

Set your pickup spot a block or two away from the main exit — everyone else is fighting for rides right at the door. You'll get matched faster and pay less surge.
