TD Garden is one of Boston’s premiere venues, between concerts and obviously sporting events. It’s known for hosting some of the biggest names in music. Whether you’re heading there to see a sold-out show or catching your favorite artist for the first time, a little planning can make your concert experience at the Garden even better. Here’s everything you need to know before you go!

  • 🚗 Parking

    If you’re driving to TD Garden, there are a number of parking options nearby, but you should know that spots fill up pretty fast, especially on event nights.

    • North Station Garage – located directly underneath the Garden. It is definitely a convenient option but can be pricy on event nights.
    • Government Center Garage – it’s about a 10 minute walk from the Garden, a bit more affordable.

    Pro Tip: Find a parking app for your phone that will allow you to book your parking spot and guarantee a space, and even save you some money.

  • 🚆 Public Transportation

    A great way to avoid the hassle of parking is by taking the MBTA! It’s a great time to do so, because North Station is right underneath the Garden, so it’s one of the easiest venues to reach by public transportation.

    • Subway (“The T”) – you can take the orange or green line to North Station.
    • Commuter Rail – North Station is connected to multiple commuter rail lines.
    • Bus – there are several MBTA bus routes near the Garden. Check the MBTA website for schedules.

  • 🍽️ Dining Near The Venue

    If you’d like to grab a bite to eat before or after the show, here are some great spots within walking distance for you to check out.

    • The Harp – a great sports bar with burgers, wings, beer, etc.
    • West End Johnnies – a local favorite with Southern-inspired food and live music.

    Pro Tip: Make a reservation if possible, concert nights and sporting event nights can get busy!

  • 🎶 Concert Tips

    Here are a few pointers to help maximize your concert experience!

    • Arrive Early – doors usually open about 60-90 minutes before the show. Make sure you give yourself some time to get through the security checkpoint and find your seat!
    • Check The Bag Policy – make sure you check the venue’s website for their most up-to-date policies surrounding what you can bring into the venue.
    • Stay Hydrated – not just so you don’t pass out, but so your voice isn’t gone after screaming songs all night!
    • Know The Set Times – you can always check out Country 102.5’s social media accounts for set times and other important information about the event!
