What visitors say
Brilliant parking but IDIOT Showsec staff who don't let Car Park users go through to Victoria station for a drink or something to eat if they're early. We were made to walk down the hill and across then back up towards Victoria station just because the Showsec staff weren't ready to let us through doors to the train station. Stupid!!!! The Car park had plenty of spaces and had a good flow of traffic at the end of the Gig we attended.

I used this parking for a concert in the AO Arena. I pre-booked online and arrived late (after the door time of the concert) and still managed to find a place on the top most level. After the concert, the staff managed the queues well to help people exit the parking. Bare in mind that it can take some time to exit if you park on the top levels. Bays and ramps are very narrow so might be difficult for large vehicles.

Brilliant parking for getting to places like Arndale, the football museum, and surrounding attractions. We’ve parked here four or five times when visiting Manchester and it’s always been in a great location and very easy to use. I’d recommend pre-booking, as it seems to be cheaper. The only thing worth noting is that the car park is quite tight, so just take a bit of care when parking.

People say this car park offers convenient pre-booking, reasonable pricing, and helpful staff who manage queues well, especially for events.
Other reviews mention the ramps and turns can be extremely tight, and exiting can be slow after events.
