You can avoid a lot of the traffic by using the OC Fair Express bus service on Saturday and Sunday. The Bus service leaves from nine locations from 10 am to midnight.
OC Fair Express costs $2 each way, 75¢ for seniors or persons with disabilities.
Riding the OC Fair Express will also give you a coupon for $4 OC Fair admission.
Parking is available before, during, and after the OC Fair is taking place. If you are attending an event that takes place before or after the fair, you’ll need to follow the directional signs provided. Staff will also be on hand to guide you if needed. You will be directed to the best parking area that is available when you arrive. The entrance to the venue is adjacent to the box office area.
When attending an event taking place during the fair, guests will also be directed to the most appropriate parking area. When the fair is going on, the entrance to the venue can be accessed by going through the fair. After you have parked, you can enter through the closest gate.

Parking costs are $15 for cars and motorcycles and $24 for buses and limos. Both cash and credit are acceptable in the parking areas.
Limited reserved parking is only available via the combo purchase with a Pacific Amphitheatre Preferred concert ticket. You can purchase reserved parking at the amphitheater box office.

Do not park on any of the residential streets in the area surrounding the venue, as some of these areas need parking permits issued by the City. Vehicles found parked in these areas without permits could be subject to tow at the owner’s expense.
