Parking
For any patron attending a Tufts Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies event, parking is provided FREE of charge in the Dowling Garage, Cousens Parking Lot, Lower Campus Garage, Talbot Avenue parking spots, Jackson Lot, and Cohen Lot. Review a map of the Medford/Somerville Campus parking lots.
On the day of a ticketed performance, a parking link will be emailed to all ticket holders and a parking QR Code will be available at the Box Office in the Balch Arena Theatre Lobby. The QR code will open the link for the appropriate performance date and then and then prompt you to enter your license plate number and state of registration in order to register for free parking for the event.
