Parking

Parking passes are required to park at The Skating Club of Boston or its adjacent lot. A parking pass is only valid for one performance of Ice Chips. If you plan on attending multiple performances, you will need a parking pass for each performance. Limited parking is available at 750 University Avenue and the Club’s adjacent, satellite lot at 846 University Avenue. Guests who pre-purchased parking will have a digital ticket that can be scanned when entering the parking lot. At this time, parking passes may only be purchased in advance at scboston.org/tickets, and no on-site parking sales are planned, as to expedite the entry and parking of all guests attending the shows.

If you or your guests require ADA parking, ADA-accessible spots will be available at 750 University Avenue to those with both a purchased parking pass and a state-issued ADA placard. Any inquiries regarding ADA parking should be directed to tickets@scboston.org.

Shuttles

A complimentary shuttle service will operate between the Route 128 MBTA Garage and the Club every ten minutes, beginning two hours prior to the scheduled start of each performance.

To accommodate larger shuttles, the shuttle’s pick-up location will not be in the interior of the MBTA garage, but instead at the Del Frisco’s Grille parking lot adjacent to the restaurant. The Del Frisco’s Grille restaurant is located directly across from the Route 128 MBTA Garage’s entrance on Blue Hill Drive. A Club representative will be at the restaurant parking lot to answer any questions you may have. A map indicating the pick-up and drop-off spot for the shuttle service can be found here.

Entering the Club

Doors will open 90 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the show.

All ticket holders will enter the Club through the East or West stairwell at the front of the building. A physical or electronic ticket will be required to enter.

If you or your guests require the use of an elevator, we ask that you enter the West stairwell as that is the closest entrance to an elevator.

Security Screening

The Skating Club of Boston is committed to ensuring a safe, comfortable and enjoyable experience for all spectators. Everyone, including staff, will be subject to a security screening each time they enter the facility to determine if they are carrying any illegal, prohibited, or suspicious items that may disrupt the show, or pose a threat to the building, staff, athletes or other guests.

A full list of prohibited items can be found here.

Screening procedures are in place to address guests with specific needs in accordance with ADA requirements.

Visitors who refuse screening will be respected, but denied entry.
