Parking lots open for shows 2 hours before event door time. Traffic Control will guide you to a parking space after entering the park. We recommend arriving early to avoid traffic and ensure you have plenty of time to get to the venue. Vehicles parked incorrectly or left overnight (not relocated prior to 10 a.m. the following day) may be ticketed or towed.
Depending on where you are directed to park, you may have to hike. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes.
Four ChargePoint charging stations for electric vehicles are located in the Trading Post parking lot and the Upper North parking lot.
If you are dropping off someone attending an event, you can use Top Circle Lot via Entrance 1, or Red Rocks Park Rd/Trading Post Rd intersection via Entrance 2. If you are dropping someone off with a disability that requires the use of the accessible shuttle, please drop off at Upper South Lot via Entrance 3. Please review patron ticket locations and maps of the park prior to arrival. Limo and Shuttle bus drop off is located at the Top Circle lot.
Passenger pickup (private vehicles, taxis, Uber/Lyft) at the end of an event is located in the Jurassic Lot. The Jurassic Lot is located just inside Entrance 2 off of Hwy 93.
If you are a concertgoer being picked up, please follow the instructions of staff and walk downhill to the Jurassic Lot to meet your ride. The recommended route to the Jurassic Lot is via the Will Call Trail located across from the Trading Post, and down Red Rocks Park Road. If you have any questions on night of show, please ask event staff.

Complimentary Red Rocks Shuttles will operate throughout the park during ingress assisting patrons from farther locations to the amphitheatre entrance gates at no charge. Pickup locations will be indicated with signage throughout the park. Limited complimentary Red Rocks Shuttle Service will be available at the end of shows from the Top Circle Lot and the Trading Post to the Jurassic Lot; however, we encourage concertgoers being picked up to head down Red Rocks Park Road due to the required time shuttles take to loop the park. Expect delays if you choose to take the shuttles to the Jurassic Lot.
More information on accessible shuttles can be found on the Accessibility page.
