Parking

Convenient, heated underground parking

While there is street parking nearby, PTE recommends parking in the underground parkade at Portage Place. It's secure, patrolled and offers easy, direct access to PTE via both Elevator 6 and Elevators 4 & 5.

It's also one of the most reasonably-priced downtown parking lots - $7 for an evening after 6 pm (compared to upwards of $12-$15 around the Concert Hall), $15 during Canada Life events.

Parking in the Portage Place Parkade:
Enter off Vaughan Street (the Carlton entrance is now permanently closed), then park in the section with blue pillars (near Elevator 6) or the yellow pillars (near Elevators 4 & 5), and pay before coming upstairs. There are payment machines next to the elevators, and you'll pay for parking at these machines in advance by entering your license plate number and payment.

NOTE: any of those elevators will take you up to the 3rd floor to get to PTE.

Portage Place Parkade is Zone # 46615.

There is a QR code on the side of the payment machine that will take you to the ParkMobile website, where you can pay for parking without standing in line for a machine and check out as a guest, so no need to create an account.

You can also download the ParkMobile app at the usual app stores and pay by phone to avoid the lineups at the payment machines.

NOTE:  if you're attending PTE at the same time as a Canada Life Centre event, we will send you an Access Code to discount your parking from the higher "event" price.

Parking for Subscribers

Your free Subscriber Parking is easier than ever!

1. Enter and park. There's no gate and no ticket you need to take.

2. Place your Subscriber Parking Pass face-up on your dashboard. The instructions are on the back.

3. Attend the performance. There is no need for any kind of validation - the Parking Pass takes care of it all.

NOTES:

  • Free subscriber parking applies ONLY to the five mainstage plays and the two holiday shows. You are responsible for paying the regular $7 charge (or the increased "event" price") when you attend something at PTE outside of those seven shows, including any additional live performances.
     
  • If you did not receive a Parking Pass with your subscription ticket package, or if you did not receive enough passes for all the vehicles in your party, please contact the PTE Box Office at 204-942-5483 or email boxoffice@pte.mb.ca.
     
  • If you forget your Parking Pass when attending the performance, you will need to pay the regular price of parking that performance. If there's an event at Canada Life Centre that increases the parking fee, come up to PTE and we can give you an Access Code to reduce the fee back down to $9..
     
  • If there is a Canada Life Centre event coinciding with your performance, please give yourself extra time to find parking space in the parkade. Now that the walkway system is closed to the arena, there are a lot of spaces available. Remember that both our Lobby Lounge and Café are open an hour before the performance - come and relax with us.

BIKE PARKING
PTE has a permanent bike rack just inside the lobby doors, available for all performances. It’s advised that you bring a lock, but once the show has started, the lobby doors are locked for security.
