What are the seating options?
Seating depends on the event. General admission tickets do not guarantee a seat, so GA attendees should expect to stand or find open seating if available. Some events are reserved-seated instead. Personal chairs brought from home are not permitted; anyone with a special seating need should contact the venue directly ahead of the event to discuss options.
Where can I park and how do I arrive?
WAVE's own guidance points visitors toward nearby lots, the Old Town Square garage, and on-street parking in the surrounding area. Rates and time restrictions vary by location, so check posted signage at whichever lot or street space you choose.
