Prepaid Parking

Prepaid parking saves you time exiting the garage! 

Prepaid parking can be purchased at the Box Office.

If you are attending a show in Southam Hall or the Babs Asper Theatre, you can also pre-pay your parking at the kiosk set up in the main lobby one hour prior to the performance and during intermissions.

The more patrons who prepay their parking, the faster everyone gets out of the garage at the end of the night.  

We encourage you and your friends, and the person sitting beside you during the show, to prepay their parking.

World Exchange Plaza (indoor) - 111 Albert Street
