NO PARKING AT THE VENUE
There's no parking lot at the F&M Bank Amphitheater or the Queen Mary. If you drive here to park, you'll be turned away at the gate.
Book parking downtown or grab a shuttle pass before show day — it takes two minutes.
GETTING TO F&M BANK AMPHITHEATER
We're on the Long Beach waterfront next to the Queen Mary. Most guests park downtown and ride a shuttle straight in — dedicated lane, no traffic. Others take the water taxi, bike, or walk the waterfront.
Pick the one that fits your night, book it ahead, and you're set.

SHUTTLE PASSES
The shuttle is the easiest way to reach the amphitheater — it runs a dedicated lane straight to the gate, so you skip event traffic entirely.
Passes are sold separately from parking, so you can grab one whether you're driving, ridesharing, or already downtown.
| $12 | round trip — before event day |
| $15 | round trip — event day |
Sold per person. Your pass covers both directions and guarantees your seat.
Shuttle Info
1. Buy your pass. You'll get an email with a QR code.
2. Add it to your wallet before you leave home. Apple or Google Wallet — service gets slow near the stops, and screenshots don't scan reliably.
3. Head to either stop on Shoreline Dr. Look for F&M Bank Amphitheater shuttle signage.
4. Scan and board. Same pass gets you back after the show.
Shuttles start about 2.5 hours before showtime and run until roughly 90 minutes after the show ends. Times vary by event — check your event listing for the most up-to-date info.
Want to take the shuttle home but didn't buy a pass? Visit Harry Bridges Park, outside of West Entry, to purchase a shuttle pass home.
Where to catch the shuttle
434 E. Shoreline Dr, Long Beach, CA 90802
Curbside on Shoreline Dr at Linden Ave, same side of the street as the Convention Center parking lot.
→ Get Directions
21 W. Shoreline Dr, Long Beach, CA 90802
Curbside on W. Shoreline Dr, right in front of the Ferris wheel — on the street, not inside The Pike. Parked at the Cedar Ave garage? The stop is a short walk south toward the water.

PARKING
All event parking is in Downtown Long Beach, across the water from the venue. Book in advance and choose from lots and garages all over downtown — near a shuttle stop, near dinner, or near the freeway for your drive home.
A few things to know:
- Your pass has an address on it. It isn't the venue. Check it before you leave the house.
- These are public lots and garages. Each sets its own hours, rates, and rules — read the posted signage so you know what applies and when you need to be back.
- Accessible parking varies by lot and is first-come, first-served.
- Shuttle passes are sold separately. Parking gets you a space downtown. If you want to ride the shuttle in, you'll need a shuttle pass too.
Want the easiest night? Both shuttle stops are on Shoreline Dr, and the shuttle runs a dedicated lane straight to the gate. Check your lot's location before you book so you land close to one.
Book Your Parking
Choose from lots and garages across Downtown Long Beach — park near a shuttle stop, near dinner, or wherever suits your night. Book in advance, then head to the address on your pass.
RIDESHARE
We recommend ridesharing to a shuttle stop rather than to the venue. The shuttle runs a dedicated lane, so you'll get in faster and your fare will be lower.
CAUTION: If you do come straight to the amphitheater, expect heavy traffic and significant delays getting in and out. Rideshare drop-off and pick-up is at the East Entry, Queens Way at Windsor Way. Follow event signage and your app's directions on show day.
AQUALINK WATER TAXI
Arrive by boat. It's the best entrance in Long Beach and the same price as a shuttle pass.
- $12 round trip
- Inbound service begins 3 hours before showtime
- Return service begins 1 hour before the concert concludes
Check the return schedule before you go. Boats fill up after the show, and service may end before you're ready to leave. If you're not sure you'll make the last boat, buy a shuttle pass as a backup.

BIKE VALET
Ride in and leave it with us. Free, staffed valet in Harry Bridges Memorial Park, just outside the West Entrance.
Bikes, scooters, skateboards — the valet takes them all, at no charge. It's the only free place to leave your ride at the venue.
Presented by Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE) — look for their branding at the valet tent.
Open 1 hour before doors, until 45 minutes after the show ends. Pick up in the same spot on your way out.
WALKING
There's a walking path from Downtown Long Beach over the Queensway Bridge that brings you to the West Entrance of the amphitheater. It's about 20 minutes and the views are worth it.
The path is ADA accessible and lit the whole way, including the walk back after the show.
LONG BEACH TRANSIT PASSPORT -- FREE
Complimentary Passport bus service runs through Downtown Long Beach, Friday through Sunday, roughly every 30 minutes from 6:20 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Free to ride.
Passport runs a nearby stop and is free to ride. Check the return schedule before you go — service is in high demand after a show and may end before you're ready to head back.
Schedule: www.ridelbt.com/passport
METRO A LINE -- COMING FROM LOS ANGELES
The Metro A Line runs from Downtown Los Angeles to Downtown Long Beach. Ride to the end of the line, then walk, bike, or catch the free Passport bus or an event shuttle the rest of the way.
Late-night train frequency varies. Confirm your return departure time before you leave for the show — the last train back is earlier than most people expect.
