The Fillmore Miami Beach At Jackie Gleason Theater Miami tickets

Parking information

Welcome to The Fillmore Miami Beach! We understand that finding suitable parking for a concert can be a significant part of your experience, so we've put together a detailed guide to help you navigate the options available near the venue at Jackie Gleason Theater.

The Fillmore Miami Beach is primarily a concert and live performance venue. Therefore, our parking recommendations are tailored specifically for these types of events. You won't typically find sports events held directly at this location, so we'll focus on what's best for concert-goers.

• Valet Parking at The Fillmore:

  This is by far the most convenient option, as it's right at the venue's entrance.

  • Distance: Right at the door.
  • Price: This is usually the most expensive option, often ranging from $40 to $60+ per event. Prices can fluctuate based on demand and the specific event.
  • Availability: Generally available, but the queue to drop off and pick up can be long, especially after a show.
  • Recommendation: A good choice if convenience is your top priority and budget is not a concern.

• Miami Beach City Garages (Highly Recommended):

  The City of Miami Beach operates several public parking garages within easy walking distance. These are generally your best bet for a balance of price, security, and proximity.

  • 17th Street Garage (Convention Center Garage):
  • Distance: Approximately 0.1 to 0.2 miles (2-5 minute walk). Located directly across Washington Avenue, part of the Miami Beach Convention Center complex.
  • Price: City rates are typically more reasonable than private lots or valet. Expect hourly rates that can accumulate to around $15-$25 for the duration of a concert, with a daily maximum. Rates can be slightly higher during special events.
  • Availability: Very large capacity, but it can still fill up for major events at both The Fillmore and the Convention Center.
  • Recommendation: This is usually our top recommendation due to its extremely close proximity and relatively reasonable pricing. Arrive early to secure a spot.
  • Pennsylvania Avenue Garage:
  • Distance: Approximately 0.2 to 0.3 miles (5-7 minute walk). Located just a block or two west of Washington Avenue.
  • Price: Similar city rates to the 17th Street Garage, generally in the $15-$25 range for an event.
  • Availability: Good capacity, often a solid backup if the 17th Street Garage is full.
  • Recommendation: An excellent alternative to the 17th Street Garage, offering similar convenience and pricing.
  • Lincoln Road Garages (e.g., 16th Street Garage, 17th Street & Washington Ave Garage):
  • Distance: Approximately 0.4 to 0.6 miles (8-12 minute walk). These are slightly further but still very walkable, especially if you plan to enjoy Lincoln Road before or after the show.
  • Price: Similar city rates, typically in the $15-$25 range.
  • Availability: Ample space, making them a reliable option.
  • Recommendation: A good choice if the closer garages are full, or if you want to combine your concert experience with a stroll down Lincoln Road.

• Private Surface Lots:

  You may find various private surface lots scattered around the area.

  • Distance: Varies, from very close to several blocks away.
  • Price: Can be highly variable and often quite expensive, especially on event nights. Expect anywhere from $20 to $50+, sometimes even matching or exceeding valet prices for prime locations.
  • Availability: Varies by lot.
  • Recommendation: Use these as a last resort. Always check the posted rates carefully before parking, as they can be predatory during events.

Options to Avoid (or approach with extreme caution):

• Street Parking (Metered):

  • Distance: Can be very close if you're incredibly lucky.
  • Price: Metered rates are typically $4-$5 per hour in this area, which can add up quickly.
  • Availability: Extremely difficult to find, especially on concert nights. Miami Beach has very strict parking enforcement.
  • Recommendation: We strongly advise against relying on street parking. It's rare to find an available spot, and the risk of receiving an expensive parking ticket or even being towed for expired meters or parking in restricted zones is very high.

• Unmarked or Suspicious Lots:

  • Recommendation: Avoid any parking lot that doesn't clearly display its rates, terms, or an official attendant. Always use well-lit, established parking facilities to ensure the safety of your vehicle.

General Tips for Concert Parking:

• Arrive Early: Especially for popular shows, parking garages can fill up quickly. Arriving 60-90 minutes before doors open gives you ample time to find parking and walk to the venue.
• Consider Rideshare: Services like Uber or Lyft are excellent alternatives, allowing you to be dropped off directly at the venue and avoid parking hassles altogether.
• Check Event-Specific Information: Sometimes, The Fillmore or ticket vendors will provide specific parking advisories for particular events. Always check your ticket or the venue's website closer to the date of the show.

We hope this detailed guide helps you plan your visit to The Fillmore Miami Beach and ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience!
