3-Day Shuttle Pass - $39.00

As mentioned, parking is extremely limited around the Park.  So for your convenience, Outside Lands is proud to offer a pre-paid shuttle service from the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in the heart of San Francisco to the south entrance of Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park.  The shuttles are coach style buses that offer a comfortable ride to and from the festival each day.

 

The Bill Graham Civic Auditorium is located next to Civic Center Plaza, near BART, MUNI, and Caltrain stops. We suggest taking public transportation to The Bill Graham Civic, as parking is not included in the price of your shuttle pass.  If you do drive, parking is available in the Civic Center Parking Garage adjacent to The Bill Graham Civic for a fee.  The garage entrance is off McAllister Street between Polk Street and Larkin Street.

The festival will be taking place at Golden Gate Park, in the Polo Field, Hellman Hollow and Lindley Meadow. The Festival grounds are wheelchair accessible, but please be aware that this is a large venue with great distances between stages. In addition, it is an outdoor music festival situated in a park. Therefore, most travel is over natural terrain.

Although all entrances are handicap accessible, the North entrance at 36th Ave and JFK, which can be accessed by entering the park at 36th and Fulton, allows for a vehicle to pull up and drop you off closest to the gate. Disability parking spaces, marked in blue, are located on 36th Avenue, which can be reached via the 36th Avenue and Fulton Street entrance. These spaces are reserved for vehicles displaying state-issued (any state) disability placards or license plates. Raised seating areas will be reserved for people with mobility limitations and one companion at all of the stages. Please note that these areas have limited capacity and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Accessible restrooms will be located throughout the concert site. If you need assistance or help in any way, please contact any of our Festival Staff members and they will be happy to help you.
