Officials say on-site parking at Broncos Stadium was sold out before the day of the concert, so they encourage attendees to carpool, use public transportation or ride their bike.

Fans who didn't pre-purchase parking permits are encouraged to park at offsite lots like the Pepsi Center, Auraria Campus and the Aquarium.

Handicap-accessible cash parking is available in lots D, G and L until sold out.

For a few more dollars, fans can park in a privately owned lot near 17th and Federal. Drivers can purchase a parking space ahead of the concert through the ParkMobile app on their smartphones. The closest lot to Mile High, 17th and Federal, will cost you about $60.
