How Much Is Parking at Rogers Place?
Parking near Rogers Place runs between $10 and $40 per event depending on how close you park and whether you pre-book. The most affordable spots are surface lots operated by Vibe Parking, which list evening and event rates ranging from $10 to $20. Mid-range options in City of Edmonton EPark zones clock in at $3.50 per hour on event nights, with the extended operating window running from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. — and the standard two-hour limit is bumped to five hours after 5 p.m. on those nights. Premium spots in the ICE District Central Parkade or through OEG’s Lot B tend to run at the higher end of the range, particularly for pre-reserved event night passes.
Event-rate pricing kicks in for any Rogers Place event with expected attendance of 5,000 or more. City EPark rates apply to stalls from 97 Street to 109 Street and Jasper Avenue to 107 Avenue. Pricing also varies between surface lots and heated underground parkades — indoor heated spots typically cost more than open-air surfaces a few blocks away.

Preferred/Premium Parking at Rogers Place

It is brightly lit, security patrolled, and provides hundreds of heated spaces with direct access to Rogers Place, the Stantec Tower, JW Marriott, and the downtown Edmonton Pedway System.

Free Parking Near Rogers Place
Free parking near Rogers Place on event nights is extremely limited. City of Edmonton EPark zones in the downtown core are not free after 6 p.m. on nights when there is a major game or concert at Rogers Place — those meters are active and enforced. Budget fans should not count on finding free on-street parking within the immediate event zone (97 Street to 109 Street, Jasper Avenue to 107 Avenue).
The best strategy for budget parking is to look for spots further from the arena — outside the EPark event zone boundary — and walk or take a short LRT ride in. Neighborhoods north or south of the event zone may offer free or standard-rate street parking on residential side streets, though availability on sold-out Oilers nights is competitive. Arriving 90 minutes or more before puck drop gives you the best shot at securing a lower-cost spot. Using a parking aggregator like SpotHero or Vibe Parking in advance can also uncover discounted pre-paid rates that undercut walk-up prices at nearby lots.
Can You Tailgate at Rogers Place?
Tailgating is not permitted in the parking lots or on the property surrounding Rogers Place. The arena’s policies prohibit tailgating in all adjacent lots, and there are no official designated tailgate areas.

Rogers Place Parking Tips
Pre-purchasing your parking pass is the single most important step for Oilers game nights. Through Precise ParkLink or the ICE District portal, reserved spaces are guaranteed and held even if the lot sells out at walk-up — your electronic pass works from a smartphone or printed at home.
For the best indoor, weather-protected experience, book the ICE District Central Parkade on 103 Ave just west of 103 St — the pedway connection means you never have to step outside in winter. If you want to save money, look into Vibe Parking lots a few blocks out, where event rates start at $10. Arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before puck drop; traffic congestion in the surrounding blocks peaks in the 30 minutes before game time and again at final whistle. If you are coming from the south or east, consider parking near an outer LRT station on the Capital Line and riding in to MacEwan Station — it is faster than driving downtown on a sellout night. After the game, exercise patience exiting the parkades and follow the directions of parking attendants to ensure an orderly exit.
