Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before showtime. This window gives you time to park in a nearby garage, pass through security, visit will call if needed, and settle into your seats without rushing. It’s also a great opportunity to explore the lobby and grab a drink at the café and bar before the music begins.

Since Miner Auditorium is an indoor venue, weather won’t impact your experience once you’re inside. If you’re parking in a garage or walking from transit, check the forecast and bring a light layer — San Francisco evenings can be cool. Cell service is generally good, but it may be slower during crowded events, so downloading tickets in advance is smart.

If you’re using public transit or rideshare, build in a few extra minutes for drop-off and navigation. The Franklin St entrance is the primary access point for most guests and the easiest meet-up spot for groups.
