Fans heading to the April 27 Luke Combs concert at Beaver Stadium can expect to pay a steep price for parking if they want a spot in the area of the venue.
In some cases, parking may cost more than a ticket to the country music star’s show.
Mobile parking passes purchased in advance will cost $60, $80 or $100, depending on the lot selected, according to information posted on the Penn State Athletics website on March 26. The day of the event, those prices will rise by $20 to $80, $100 and $120.
Concertgoers can also park further away in the East, Eisenhower, HUB, Nittany or West decks for a bit less.
“Parking prices for the Luke Combs concert are in line with the industry standard for concerts of this nature,” Penn State Athletics spokesperson Kristina Petersen wrote in an email. “There will also be parking available in the campus parking decks on show day for $40.”
Tickets, which went on sale in August, are available for as low as $49 on third-party platforms and $87 through Ticketmaster Verified Resale.
Parking prices for Beaver Stadium’s second-ever major concert are somewhat comparable to single-game Penn State football parking, which starts at $50 in advance and ranges from $60 to $100 on the day of the game.
Concert parking at the Bryce Jordan Center, which is far smaller than Beaver Stadium, has recently been $11 in advance and $20 day-of for shows by Drake and Zach Bryan.
For Combs’ shows May 3-4 at Jacksonville, Florida’s EverBank Stadium, which is about three-quarters the size of Beaver Stadium, parking ranges from $49 to $108.
Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia typically charges $35 per car for concert parking and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, charges $40 per car.
