💡 Guru Tips
Insider tips to make the most of your experience at Petersen Events Center
🅿️ Parking Guru Tip
Petersen Events Center 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.
🎤 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.
📸 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.
🚕 Getting There
Rideshare or walk if you can — parking near small venues is often limited. Plus, you won't have to worry about driving after enjoying the show.
