BEFORE THE SHOW & AFTER THE SHOW
Make the Event Part of Your Show
Your ticket may be for the main act, but the experience can start hours before the doors open and continue long after the crowd leaves. Think of the day in three parts: your Opening Act, the Main Act, and your Encore.
Your Opening Act
Start with dinner, drinks, shopping, museums, attractions or another stop near the venue before showtime.
The Main Act
The game, concert, show or live event is the reason for the trip. Know the venue, arrive prepared and enjoy it.
Your Encore
Keep the night going with late-night food, bars, entertainment, nightlife or an overnight stay after the event.
YOUR OPENING ACT
Make the Hours Before Showtime Count
FOOD & DRINK
Start With Something Good
Find restaurants, sports bars, cocktail lounges, coffee shops and casual gathering places around the venue before the event begins.
MAKE A DAY OF IT
Explore Before Showtime
Arrive early enough for shopping, museums, attractions, entertainment, sightseeing or simply exploring the neighborhood around the venue.
THE MAIN ACT
Know Where You’re Going
Know the Venue
Understand the venue, surrounding area, entrances and other details before you arrive.
Plan Parking
Review official parking, nearby options and event-day pricing when current information is available.
Rideshare & Transit
Know where to get dropped off, picked up or connect with available public transportation.
Check the Conditions
Weather and outdoor conditions can become part of the plan when your event date is close enough.
YOUR ENCORE
The Night Doesn’t Have to End at the Exit
AFTER THE EVENT
Find What Is Still Open
Look for late-night restaurants, bars, cocktail lounges, breweries and other places still serving after the final whistle, curtain call or encore.
KEEP IT GOING
Make the Night Last a Little Longer
Explore nightlife, live music, entertainment districts or nearby hotels when going straight home is not how you want the night to end.
COMING FROM OUT OF TOWN?
Your Event Experience May Start Miles Away
A major event can begin long before you reach the venue. Your city or community becomes Point A, with the event destination, venue and everything surrounding it waiting at Point B.
Start Where You Live
Your home city or community is the real beginning of the event trip.
Plan the Drive
Consider distance, travel time, traffic and useful stops along the way.
Know the Destination
Explore the city, metro area and neighborhood surrounding the venue.
Decide When the Trip Ends
A hotel can turn a late night or long drive into a more relaxed event experience.

Opening Act. Main Act. Encore.
