Campbell Hall is located off Mesa Road across from Cheadle Hall, UCSB’s main administration building. Give yourself a little extra time for a relaxed arrival and enjoy refreshments available before performances on the plaza.
Campbell Hall Parking
There is ample parking close to Campbell Hall. When attending events in Campbell, park in Lot 14 or 16 close to the theater. (Lot 12 is the future site of the Alumni House.) In the event that you are unable to find a spot, use the Mesa Parking Structure, no more than a 5-minute walk to Campbell. See map below.
Parking Fees at the UCSB campus
UCSB charges $2 for evening and weekend parking.
UCSB Arts & Lectures sells open-dated UCSB parking permits at a discount to our patrons. Buying $1.50 permits from Arts & Lectures eliminates time-consuming pre-show purchases. You can order discounted permits with your series subscription. We will mail them to you with your tickets. Whenever you come to campus, just write the date on one of your permits and display it on your dashboard. You can buy more permits anytime at our Ticket Office or by calling (805) 893-3535. Unused permits cannot be refunded and lost permits cannot be replaced.
UCSB parking rates are subject to change.
Parking at UCSB without a prepaid pass
If you do not have a prepaid pass that you bought from Arts & Lectures, you must purchase a parking permit once you get to campus. Simply drive to campus and park in the lot closest to the event you will be attending. Each parking lot will have several machines that vend parking permits that you can purchase with cash, credit card or even charge to a cell phone account. Remember the number of your parking space to be sure you pay for the correct spot. Evening and weekend parking purchased on campus the day of an event costs $2. Machines only take bills and do not provide change.
Parking to visit the Arts & Lectures Ticket Office
There are several parking-metered spaces for weekday ticket buyers immediately in front of the A&L Ticket Office. The meters take only quarters and cost 25 cents for 10 minutes, with a maximum stay of 30 minutes. No other permit is required to use these parking meters.
Daytime Parking on Campus
If you are attending a daytime event, proceed to any C designation parking area (lots are labeled by each entrance) closest to your venue. You will then need to pay for your parking from one of the self-pay vending machines located near each lot.
