Know Before You Go

Know Before You Go

Broadway In Detroit is committed to providing a healthy and safe environment for audiences, performers and staff, and to make sure you have as much information as possible for your visit.

All ticket purchasers will receive a Broadway In Detroit Know Before You Go email in the days prior to their performance. This guide will also be posted at the bottom of this page approximately 1-week prior to the first performance of each show. It will have the latest information on the show such as the running time, number of intermissions, show time and more.

PARKING & DIRECTIONS

For shows at the Fisher Theatre, parking in the Fisher Building Surface Lot at 3rd Street, and the Fisher Parking Structure on Grand Boulevard is included with your ticket to the show. Due to new management of the Fisher Parking Structure, a new process is in place.
To ensure your car is properly validated for the Fisher Parking structure, please follow these steps. If you park in the garage without following these instructions, you may receive a violation in the mail of up to $80. Validated parking in the garage is included in your ticket, but you must follow these steps to claim it:

  1. Before your visit, pre-register your vehicle at metropolis.io/join. (Registering beforehand will help to save you a significant amount of time at the theatre). You will need:
    • Your license plate number
    • Your cell phone number
    • A credit card number (Your card will not be charged if you follow these steps).
  2. Once your vehicle is registered, pull into the garage and park like normal.
  3. As you enter, you will receive a text message from Metropolis confirming your arrival.
  4. Once you enter the Fisher building, make sure you are connected to the Wi-Fi network, TheatreGuest.
  5. Once inside the Fisher theatre, locate the tall "Validate Your Garage Parking Here" pull-up banner.
  6. Click the link from your text message and scan the QR code on the banner to validate your parking. You will receive confirmation from Metropolis Parking that your session has been validated for $0.
  7. If you need any assistance, please see an usher and have your license plate information ready.
  8. Please note that validation is only valid for 6 hours. If you leave your car in the garage after the show, you may be charged for any parking exceeding six hours after you enter the structure.

Please note this process is only for the Fisher Parking Structure. No action is needed for the Fisher Building Surface Lot.

You can also visit our Parking & Directions page for the most up to date information on directions to our venues and parking (NOTE: Fisher Theatre Parking information has been updated on 02/01/24 for the Fisher Parking Structure on Grand Boulevard.)
