Using a street space for your concert

For an evening show, street parking is free after 5 PM and on weekends. If you arrive earlier on a weekday, meters are enforced from 8 AM to 5 PM with a two-hour limit. Read the sign before leaving the car; private lots have separate rules.

Pay for the zone or space where you actually parked. Leave accessible spaces, loading areas, driveways and fire zones clear. During metered hours, a payment top-up does not override the posted time limit.

Park for Dinner, the Queue and the Show

  1. Use your own show listing for door time. There is no indoor waiting area before doors, and queues vary by show.

  2. Choose a stay long enough for dinner, a support act and the main performance.

  3. Save your payment confirmation and parking location before joining the queue.

  4. Arrange a pickup point in advance if leaving by a different route, keeping driveways and queues clear.

Discuss access with Cain’s before parking

Need help with access at Cain’s? Email or call 918-584-2306 at least 72 hours ahead. Discuss your entrance, seating needs and the route from your chosen lot.

Ask Cain’s where to arrange an accessible space or assisted drop-off for your show. The Cameron/Main recommendation does not reserve an accessible space. For Living Arts, check the space and route with the lot operator.

Alternatives to driving into the district

Arrange a legal pickup point with your driver and follow the signs outside the venue. Keep entrances, queues and loading areas clear.

For a transit option, use MetroLink’s current route planner and alerts. Check the return trip for your concert’s likely finish; an outbound daytime route is not a promise of late service.
