• Thomas Street, south of EMP

• Mercer Street, between Bagley Wright and Intiman theaters

Bumbershoot day sales: $55 per day general; $25 seniors. Children 10 and younger do not need a ticket.

MAINSTAGE/COMEDY SHOWS

Entrance into Mainstage shows no longer requires a separate pass. Admission is first-come, first-served. Lines for Mainstage performances will form 90 minutes before show times, and no earlier.

A limited quantity of free comedy passes is available each day at the Comedy Pass Distribution booth. One comedy pass per person/ticket, per day will be available, while supplies last.

GETTING THERE

Parking in Lower Queen Anne during Bumbershoot can be tough to find and expensive. (Find a list of lots at www.seattlecenter.com/transportation/parking.) Better yet, take the bus — use Metro's Trip Planner, tripplanner.kingcounty.gov, or call 206-553-3000 for help.
