    When you think of Providence Park, what do you think of?

    Thrilling moments. Cheering crowds. And don’t forget: TriMet bus and MAX service right outside the stadium!

    As many as 30,000 people will pack Providence Park, and there’s no parking at the stadium! But getting there on TriMet couldn’t be easier — and, if you have a ticket to the concert on Saturday, June 28, it’s also free! You can use your digital ticket to see Post Malone with Jelly Roll as proof of fare on any TriMet bus, MAX, LIFT paratransit and the Portland Streetcar for up to three hours before and after the 6:30 p.m. concert.

    This is the first concert at Providence Park where you can use your ticket as fare on TriMet — the same way you can for Portland Thorns and Timbers home games! Learn more at trimet.org/providencepark

    Going to the show

    Riding TriMet to Providence Park is ridiculously easy. Just plan your trip at trimet.org, have your digital ticket on your smartphone or another device, and hop off at a bus stop or MAX station close by.

    The MAX Blue and Red lines stop at the Providence Park MAX Station, directly across Southwest 18th Avenue from the stadium. Several bus lines stop close by as well.

    If you’re riding the MAX Green, Orange or Yellow line or a bus that stops along the Transit Mall, you can transfer to a Blue or Red line train at Pioneer Courthouse Square. Portland Streetcar riders can transfer to MAX at the Library/Galleria stations.

    Your concert ticket is valid for riding anywhere on TriMet and the Portland Streetcar before and after the show — whether you’re taking a direct route or making a stop or two along the way.

    Additionally, TriMet will run extra buses and trains to serve riders heading to and from Saturday’s concert, reducing wait times. We’ll also have extra safety and security personnel on hand.

    Ride and save

    No one likes paying for parking. With TriMet, you don’t have to.

    We have TriMet Park & Rides all across the tri-county area! Find a free parking facility that’s convenient to you at trimet.org/parkandride. Locations include:

    Instead of paying $6 per hour for event parking, you could save over $20 on parking fees alone by taking TriMet. And, while the search for street parking can be super-stressful, TriMet’s parking lots and garages have hundreds of parking spaces, not to mention bright lighting and security cameras.

    Know before you go

    Check out TriMet’s Rules for Riding. Please be courteous to fellow riders and TriMet employees! You can report any unwanted behavior to TriMet by calling or texting 503-238-7433 (RIDE).

    If you’re asked to show proof of fare on concert day, simply present your digital ticket. Our bus operators and Customer Safety Supervisors will recognize it as valid fare for up to three hours before and after the concert.

    So, when you put it all together:

    • Park for free at a TriMet Park & Ride
    • Ride to Providence Park for free by showing your concert ticket as proof of fare
    • Ride back from Providence Park for free, again using your concert ticket

    You might not find a better deal all year!

    Saving money, skipping stress

    Traffic and parking in the area around Providence Park can be a major headache on game day. Event pricing means parking costs more, and limited availability means soccer fans are often in for a long walk or roll to the stadium.

    Fortunately, there’s an easy way around all of that: ride with TriMet!

    The MAX Blue and Red lines will drop you off just feet from Providence Park. Several bus lines also have stops at or near the stadium, including:

    If you use our LIFT paratransit service, you can also book a trip at lift.trimet.org and present your digital ticket to the game or concert as your ticket to ride.

    Getting there from where you are

    It’s easy to ride TriMet, even if you don’t live near a bus stop or MAX station.

    We have dozens of parking facilities throughout the region, where you can leave your car and hop on board. At every TriMet Park & Ride, parking is free for anyone taking TriMet.

    That’s right: If you have a ticket to a game or concert at Providence Park, you can both park and ride TriMet to and from the event at no additional cost!

    Some of our most popular Park & Rides, like the Sunset Transit Center, can fill up during the day, especially on game day. Instead, consider one of our other westside Park & Rides also served by the MAX Blue and Red lines, such as:
