is general parking still free at gillette stadium for concerts
yeah general parking is still completely free for concerts at gillette. as long as you have a show ticket, you can park in any of the general lots located across route 1 from the stadium without buying a separate parking pass.
the downside is route 1 becomes an absolute nightmare before and after huge stadium shows. getting out of the free lots can take anywhere from one to two hours of sitting in complete gridlock. if you want to skip that headache, you can check prked to rent a private driveway or spot from someone nearby. it lets you bypass the worst of the stadium traffic, get in and out much faster, and usually puts you a lot closer to the gates.
if you stick with the official options, stadium-side prepaid parking is around 50 bucks if you want a guaranteed spot closer to the entrances, but those usually sell out ahead of time. otherwise, just give yourself plenty of extra time on route 1 if you plan to use the free general lots.
hope this helps
