Celebrity Theatre Parking Guide: Seating in the Round, Drop-Off and Upcoming Shows

Scottsdale Sprinters’ short answer on Celebrity Theatre parking: the theatre parks guests in its own secured lot at 440 North 32nd Street for $10 per vehicle, cash or card, and sends rideshare drop-offs to a walk-through gate on Filmore Street, just west of 32nd Street. The theatre seats 2,606 in the round around a revolving stage, no seat more than 70 feet from the artist, and every guest is wanded at the door, so arrive early. For a group, one chauffeured vehicle replaces the lot, the line and the drive home.

How does parking work at Celebrity Theatre?

Celebrity Theatre parks its guests in its own secured lot at 440 North 32nd Street for $10 per vehicle, paid in cash or by card on arrival, or bought early at checkout with your online ticket; the venue recommends arriving early for a sold-out show or for accessible parking. A limited number of accessible (ADA) spaces sit at the East entrance, directly off the 32nd Street entrance, first come first served, for the same $10 per vehicle; the wheelchair ramp is at that East entrance too. The venue names no second lot and publishes no overflow parking, so on a sold-out night the lot is the thing to arrive early for.

Where is the drop-off at Celebrity Theatre?

Celebrity Theatre sends rideshare drivers to a walk-through gate on Filmore Street, just west of 32nd Street, and asks that they do not enter through the paid parking entrance, to avoid delays; that gate is the one drop-off point the venue publishes for guests who are dropped off rather than parked. It is the point we use for a chauffeured group too. We unload the group at the Filmore Street gate, not in the paid lot, and agree one pickup point there for the ride home before the show. The venue publishes no separate area for limousines or charters, so no curb is held for booked vehicles. If the venue posts a different plan for a show, that plan comes first. A group that splits across cars also splits across the parking line and the walk in. One vehicle arrives with everyone at once and leaves with everyone at once.

Where is Celebrity Theatre, and how do you get there?

Celebrity Theatre is at 440 North 32nd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85008; guests driving in use the paid parking entrance to the secured lot, and guests arriving by rideshare use the walk-through gate on Filmore Street just west of 32nd Street. The theatre is a round building, designed in 1963 as a conference center that could turn into a concert venue in the winter months, and it opened on January 13, 1964 with the musical South Pacific. A chauffeured group needs no directions: the driver takes the group to the Filmore Street gate and waits for the ride home.

When should you arrive at Celebrity Theatre?

Arrive early at Celebrity Theatre: the venue wands every guest with a metal detector at all shows and asks guests to allow extra time for it, and its Encore Lounge opens 2 hours before showtime for anyone who wants to be there before the music starts. The venue publishes no doors time for its seats; the ticket and the show page have the show time. The box office is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and from 12 p.m. on show days. Will call needs a valid photo ID, and a ticket bought by card is released only to the cardholder with the card and a photo ID. Children 12 months and under may enter without a ticket, on an adult’s lap. The theatre serves food upstairs, charcuterie boxes, nachos, hot dogs, popcorn and pretzels among it, and has 5 bars that pour seasonal and specialty drinks, mocktails included.

What is the Celebrity Theatre bag policy?

Celebrity Theatre has a clear bag policy: clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches, and small clutch bags up to 4.5 by 6.5 inches; no backpacks, and the venue wands every guest at every show. Not allowed inside: Sharpies, pens and markers, outside food or beverages of any kind, smoking of any kind, firearms, knives, chains or weapons of any kind, backpacks and selfie sticks. Professional cameras with a detachable lens over 2 inches long, and video and audio recording devices, are not permitted. Strollers are not allowed inside, and the venue has no storage room for them; walkers fold in front of the seat outside accessible seating. Call the box office at (602) 267-1600 for medical clearance of a prohibited item. Settle bags before you leave: a group that is dropped off has no car in the lot to go back to during the show.

What is the seating like at Celebrity Theatre, and how many people does it hold?

Celebrity Theatre holds 2,606 in the round, 1,845 as a three-quarter house and 1,406 as a half house, around an extremely rare revolving stage, and no seat is more than 70 feet from the artist. In the round the stage rotates through the show and faces no one direction; as a half or three-quarter house it faces the artist ramp, between sections A6 and A7. Which layout a show uses is on its seating chart when you pick the ticket. Infrared assisted listening devices are available at every performance, free from guest services on the night or on request in advance, and sign language interpretation needs at least three weeks’ notice. For a group, the round room means every seat is close: book the seats together and the ride together, and the night stays together.

Which vehicle fits a Celebrity Theatre group?

A VIP night takes the Maybach Jet Sprinter, the Ultra Luxury Party Sprinter, the Maybach Shuttle Sprinter or the Luxury SUV (Suburban). Friends and birthday crews ride the Limo Party Sprinter (12-13 Pax), the Limo Party Sprinter (16 Pax) or the Party Bus (28 Pax). Company nights and big groups take the Executive Black Sprinter, the Executive White Sprinter, the Mini Bus (24 Pax) or the Executive Mini Coach (29 Pax). Seat counts are seated capacities from the fleet: the Ultra Luxury Party Sprinter seats 15, the Limo Party Sprinter (12-13 Pax) 13, the Limo Party Sprinter (16 Pax) 16, the Party Bus (28 Pax) 28 and the Maybach Jet Sprinter 9. The Executive Black Sprinter seats 14, the Mini Bus (24 Pax) 24 and the Executive Mini Coach (29 Pax) 29. Our pick for a show night at the theatre is the Ultra Luxury Party Sprinter, $250 an hour with a 4-hour minimum: fiber-optic lighting with eighteen modes, an ultra-premium sound system and a full partition with an intercom to your chauffeur. The Limo Party Sprinter (12-13 Pax) is $175 an hour with a 4-hour minimum, and the Executive Black Sprinter is $145 an hour with a 4-hour minimum. Every rate prices the whole vehicle, before tax. Count riders for the ride home as well as the ride there; the late list is the one that matters. For a group bigger than one vehicle, we plan two or more and quote them together.

How should a group plan the ride to a Celebrity Theatre show?

Plan backwards from the show time on the ticket, and leave room for the metal-detector wanding every guest goes through; a group that wants the Encore Lounge before the show can arrive up to 2 hours ahead, when it opens. The ride home is the part to plan hardest. Agree the pickup point at the Filmore Street gate before the show, and your chauffeur is there when the house lights come up, so the group walks out to its own vehicle instead of the parking line. The venue publishes no age rule for its shows. If even one passenger is under 21, the trip is alcohol-free for the whole group, adults included; we sell no alcohol on any trip. Book by the hour and the vehicle is yours for the whole night, dinner before the show included, or book a ride there and a ride back. Reach the reservations team at (623) 986-6339 or reservations@scottsdalesprinters.com with the show, the date, the pickup area and the rider count.
