2. Parking & Vouchers

  • Parking location: We have use of the Wells Fargo Garage on Sherman St., half a block north of the church, for singer and staff parking if you want to use it (you are welcome to find other parking if you prefer). DO NOT PARK HERE IF YOU HAVE NOT PURCHASED A VALIDATION STICKER!
  • Parking Validation stickers: For those who purchased a parking validation sticker, please be sure to follow these instructions:

  • Entry: Pull into the garage from the Sherman Street entrance. Take a standard entry ticket from the machine. Do not lose this ticket. I suggest keeping it in your car. If you lose the ticket you will have to pay $18 to exit the garage.

  • Voucher Pickup: Walk to Central Presbyterian Church (1660 Sherman St). Visit the check-in desk BEFORE your scheduled sound check window to pick up your physical validation sticker.
  • Validation: Peel the backing off the validation sticker and apply it to your original entry ticket.
  • Exit: When leaving the garage, insert your validated ticket into the exit machine. The gate will lift automatically.
  • Validation sticker pickup: Vouchers will be organized by choir at the Ticket Table in the lobby. Singers should pick up their voucher before their choir’s rehearsal time. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE CONCERT TO COLLECT YOUR VOUCHER!!!
