💡 Guru Tips

Insider tips to make the most of your experience at Veterans Memorial Coliseum

🅿️ Parking Guru Tip

Veterans Memorial Coliseum has structured parking — arrive 45+ minutes early for the closest spots. Check for pre-paid parking options to skip the line.

🎫 Will Call Tip

Will call lines can get long close to showtime. Pick up your tickets early if the box office opens before doors — or go mobile tickets to skip the line entirely.

💵 Bring Cash

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

🏟️ 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

Veterans Memorial Coliseum hosts 55+ events — it's a popular spot. For big shows, arrive 30-60 minutes early to clear security, grab food, and settle in without stress.

👜 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.

📸 Camera Policy

Cameras may be restricted — professional/DSLR cameras are usually banned but phone cameras are always fine. Check before bringing gear.

👨‍👩‍👧 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.
