Parking
The flat parking rate is $12 per vehicle (no time limit or hourly rate).
Patrons may use the parking lot at 240 Bay State Road behind the performance center, or the Warren Towers Lot (700 Commonwealth Ave), directly across from the front doors.
To access these lots:
Take ticket upon entry
At exit, insert ticket into ticket slot
Insert and remove credit/debit card into payment slot
Gate will open and vehicle can exit
BU parking lots are now automated with a ticketing system and gates, much like any other pay parking lot in Boston. There is no longer a person in each entrance booth, but a kiosk to get a ticket on entry. Pay at the kiosk when you exit. You cannot leave the lot and return to the lot later in the day on the same parking ticket, as you pay when you exit the lot.
A limited number of parking meters can be found on Commonwealth Avenue. Meters are in effect until 8:00 pm.
