How Much Is Parking at Wells Fargo Center?
Parking at Wells Fargo Center ranges from approximately $19 to $44 depending on the lot, event type, and whether you prepay or pay at the gate.
The most affordable options are off-site lots like the Jetro Lot on S. Darien Street, which lists at $19 online for most events, and the Xfinity Live parking area at 1100 Pattison Avenue, which runs around $22 for sports events. Official on-site lots start closer to $20 at the gate for general parking. The SpotHero “Closest to the Exit” lot — the arena’s official prepaid partner — averages $29 for reserved spots, and averages around $32 for games and up to $44 for concerts and special events in that tier.
Paying on arrival without a reservation will almost always cost more than prepaying. All lots accept major credit cards, debit cards, and digital payment options including Apple Pay and Google Pay, so there is no need to bring cash.
Wells Fargo Center Parking Lots and Maps
Wells Fargo Center has eight event parking lots surrounding the arena, together totaling over 6,000 spaces across the South Philadelphia Sports Complex.
Here is a breakdown of each official lot: Lot A is a surface lot positioned near the intersection of Broad Street and North Access Road, adjacent to the Broad Street Subway Station — it is the farthest of the official lots from the arena itself. Lot C is one of the premier options, located directly on the venue grounds on the south side of the arena at 3601 S. Broad Street with minimal walking distance to the entrances. Lot D sits just south of the arena off 11th Street on the east side and is open for both general cash parking and reserved parking — it is the closest lot to the 11th Street entrance. Lot E is reserved for prepaid parking and is the closest lot to the AT&T Pavilion and 11th Street entrances. Lots F and G are open for general cash parking. Lot H is reserved exclusively for Premium Seat Holders and is the closest lot to the VIP entrance.
The SpotHero “Closest to the Exit” Lot is designated for prepaid parking and sits closest to the Broad Street entrance, making post-game exit onto the highway faster. The Broad Street Lot runs along South Broad Street and is a well-lit surface option popular for fans who prioritize quick post-game exits, with rates between $22 and $29. The Xfinity Live lot at 1100 Pattison Avenue offers both self-parking and valet options about a 7-minute walk from the arena, typically priced around $22 for sports events.
Preferred/Premium Parking at Wells Fargo Center
The top premium parking option at Wells Fargo Center is Lot H, which is reserved exclusively for Premium Seat Holders and places you closest to the VIP entrance on the Broad Street side of the arena.
For fans who are not Premium Seat Holders but want close, guaranteed parking, the SpotHero “Closest to the Exit” Lot is the next best thing. It is reserved for prepaid customers, puts you right at the Broad Street entrance, and is designed specifically to get you out onto I-95 quickly after the final buzzer. Rates in this lot average $32 for games and around $44 for concerts and non-sports events.
Lot C on the south side of the arena is another close-in option with a short walk to arena entrances and general admission and reserved options both available, with pricing typically between $20 and $40 depending on event demand. The Xfinity Live area at 1100 Pattison Avenue also offers valet parking for fans who want a premium, hands-free experience on game day.
Free Parking Near Wells Fargo Center
There is no free parking at or directly adjacent to Wells Fargo Center on event days. The arena is located in South Philadelphia’s Sports Complex, where all nearby lots charge event rates.
The most budget-friendly paid option is the Jetro Lot at 3899 S. Darien Street, which lists at $19 online for most events — one of the lowest rates in the area. The Xfinity Live lot at 1100 Pattison Avenue also comes in at around $22 for sports games, making it a reasonable alternative a 7-minute walk from the gates. Lots F and G offer general cash parking and tend to be less expensive than premium reserved lots.
For fans coming from within Greater Philadelphia, the most cost-effective approach is to park at a SEPTA subway station farther up the Broad Street Line and ride the train south to NRG Station. This avoids event-rate lot fees entirely and sidesteps post-game traffic. This strategy is most practical for city residents who already have SEPTA passes.
Can You Tailgate at Wells Fargo Center?
Tailgating is permitted in select lots at Wells Fargo Center, with the arena specifically offering a lot known as the “Beer, Wine and Spirits” lot that allows pre-game tailgating.
Tailgating is generally only allowed before the event and not during or after. Open-flame grilling equipment and oil-frying setups are typically not permitted in the lots, so tailgating is limited to drinks and cold foods. Always verify the current tailgate policy on the official Wells Fargo Center website before your event, as rules can vary by game and event type.
Fans looking for a full pre-game experience beyond the lots can head to the Xfinity Live complex at 1100 Pattison Avenue, just a short walk from the arena. It features multiple bars and dining options including the Victory Beer Hall, and serves as a popular gathering spot for both Flyers and 76ers fans before tip-off or puck drop.
ADA and Handicap Parking at Wells Fargo Center
ADA-accessible parking at Wells Fargo Center is available on all sides of the arena and is clearly marked with universal accessibility symbols.
Designated accessible spaces are located on Broad Street on the west side, on 11th Street on the east side, in Lot D on the south side of the building, and along Terminal Avenue also on the south side. Vehicles must display the appropriate state-issued hang tag or accessible license plate to use these spaces — no exceptions. Lot C also offers accessible spaces in addition to general admission, making it a convenient choice for fans with mobility needs who want to stay close to the entrances.
For fans who require ParaTransit services, vehicles have dedicated stops at the arena. For additional accessibility questions related to Flyers events, contact the arena directly. For Philadelphia 76ers accessibility questions, call 215-952-7000. More information is also available through the official arena accessibility page at XfinityMobileArena.com.
Uber and Lyft Drop-Off at Wells Fargo Center
Wells Fargo Center has designated rideshare pickup and drop-off zones clearly marked near Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, as well as near Pattison Avenue and 11th Street.
Lot D on the east side of the arena off 11th Street is also used as a designated Lyft zone for pickup and drop-off, placing riders just steps from the arena entrances. These zones are marked and staffed on event nights, so follow signage when your driver arrives at the complex.
After the game, rideshare demand spikes significantly, which can lead to surge pricing and longer wait times. To avoid the worst of it, consider walking a few blocks away from the arena before opening your app to request a ride, or stop at a nearby restaurant or bar to let post-game traffic clear before heading out. Booking your return ride while the game is still in progress can also help reduce wait times.
Public Transit to Wells Fargo Center
The SEPTA Broad Street Line is the fastest and most direct public transit option to Wells Fargo Center, with NRG Station located about a 5-to-6-minute walk from the arena gates.
From Center City or North Philadelphia, take the Broad Street Line (Orange Line) southbound directly to NRG Station or the AT&T Station at Pattison Avenue. From West Philadelphia or 30th Street Station, take the Market-Frankford Line (Blue Line) eastbound, get off at 15th and Market Street, and transfer to the Broad Street Line southbound toward Pattison Avenue. SEPTA also runs a Sports Express service on the Broad Street Line for major events, adding extra train frequency before and after games to handle the increased crowd.
SEPTA bus routes 4 and 17 both stop at NRG Station as well, providing additional options for fans coming from South Philadelphia and Center City. Fans coming from South Jersey can use the PATCO line, which connects to the Broad Street Line, making it easy to transfer south toward the arena. Using the SEPTA Trip Planner at septa.org is the easiest way to map out your exact route before game day.
Wells Fargo Center Parking Tips
The single most effective way to save money and reduce stress on game day at Wells Fargo Center is to book your parking spot in advance through SpotHero or another aggregator like Vivid Seats or Parking.com.
Arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before tip-off or puck drop. Lots fill up fast for Flyers and 76ers games, and walk-up rates at the gate are always higher than prepaid rates. The Broad Street side of the arena (Lots A and C) receives heavy traffic from fans coming off I-95 via the Broad Street exit, so if you are approaching from the south or east via the Walt Whitman Bridge, heading to 7th Street and then right on Pattison Avenue to reach the 11th Street lots (Lots D and E) is a less congested approach.
For the fastest post-game exit, the SpotHero “Closest to the Exit” Lot on the Broad Street side is designed specifically to funnel cars out quickly onto the interstate. If you plan to drink before or during the game, taking the Broad Street Line and skipping the parking hassle entirely is the smartest and most cost-effective call. All Wells Fargo Center parking lots are within a 5-to-10-minute walk of the arena, so no lot leaves you stranded far from the gates.
