It's been a while since we attended a concert there. They seem to be pushing for people to buy prepaid parking but I don't remember that being an issue there. As I recall, there's lots of parking available in that area. Has something changed? TIA for any advice.

Any one of the lots off Timberloch (orange, green, yellow, and blue) will be free. You just have to walk a little bit. They are just trying to upsell the paid parking in the gold lot and parking garage adjacent to the pavilion.

Last went about 2 years ago, and the walking from the free lots seemed a lot easier than I remembered from hazy high school and college concert memories. Being able to tag the parking spot on my phone helps with the breadcrumb trail.

If you're mobility impaired, definitely look closer.

Has anyone ever seen or heard of someone ever being towed from the mall parking lot? I always park there next to Kirby Ice House. Venue entrance is so close. Best place to get a pre drink before a show. I'm hoping my luck won't run out with me parking there

Another vote for the free lots. Pretty easy all around.

I haven't heard of anyone being towed from the mall, but Hughes Landing recently changed their parking policies and tow trucks have been out in force. They stalk the lots as early as 6 am to tow people. Market Street also has people towed regularly for breaking the parking rules.

Never. Parked there twice last summer for shows and was fine.

It's never happened to me, but I've heard it happens.

Plenty of free parking. I always park in the lot where Cadence bank is.

Regardless of where you park, if you plan on staying for the whole show also plan to tailgate/hang out in your car for 30 minutes after you get back to it. Much better time than spending it some random place in line going 0-1mph.
