All City-owned and operated parking lots will be available for the Brad Paisley concert, the first event to be held at the Intrust Bank Arena. The concert is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Saturday Jan. 9th. Parking prices range from $4 to $15, depending on the distance from the arena.

Residents are encouraged to visit the newly launched Web site, parkdowntown.org. The interactive site features information about pricing, location and which lots are open for downtown events.

“We recommend people visit parkdowntown.org before coming to the concert so they can identify where they want to park in advance,” said Mandy Pankratz, City of Wichita Parking Coordinator. “We have also put up new signs to make it easy to locate the parking lots.”

Maps of the downtown parking locations are available at area QuikTrip stores.

Free Park and Ride services will be provided by Wichita Transit. Two Q-Line trolleys will run the regular route from noon until midnight. Five additional shuttle buses will run from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. and from 10 p.m. until midnight. More information on the route and official stops can also be found at parkdowntown.org. There will be no street closures for Saturday’s concert.
