SAN DIEGO â Petco Park today issued a parking and transportation advisory for Sunday night's Paul McCartney concert. With a sellout crowd expected, concert guests are strongly encouraged to arrive downtown early and enjoy one of the many restaurants and bars in the area. Parking lots will open at 1:00 p.m., gates will open at 6:00 p.m. and the concert will begin promptly at 8:00 p.m. Guests with field seats are encouraged to enter through the Western Metal Breezeway on Tony Gwynn Drive.
Guests who choose to drive should pre-purchase reserved parking permits to guarantee their parking space. Parking is limited and will sell out. A link to purchase parking permits is available at www.padres.com/PaulMcCartney. Outside of ballpark-adjacent lots, more than 2,500 parking spaces will be available at the Convention Center and Hilton Bayfront Garages on Harbor Drive. To access these garages, use the Front Street exit from I-5 South, or the Cesar Chavez Parkway Exit from I-5 North.
To avoid additional traffic delays, concert guests should consider utilizing public transportation. Metropolitan Transit System will run added special event trolley service on Sunday. Please note that due to the Chargers game at 1:05 p.m. PT on Sunday, trolley parking will NOT be available at Qualcomm Stadium, and inbound trolley service through Mission Valley may be crowded.
