PARKING INFO
Parking is enforced at all times on campus. Sac State now uses
virtual permits
, which are based on
your vehicle’s license plate number. Discounted parking of $4/day is available for our ticketed
concerts; waived-fee parking is available for our free concerts.
Parking permit links will be provided for each of our concerts. Links will be available on the calendar
listing description for each event by noon on the day of the event, and will be posted in the lobby of
our building (via QR code) one hour before each concert.
The links provided will take you to the Sac State UTAPS login page. Use the Guest Login (or use Guest
Signup to create an account if you‘ve never used this system - you will need to register your car’s
license plate number).
Complete the permit checkout process to activate your virtual permit, making sure to select the
correct valid date. Permits will be valid for the entire date you select, up until 11:59pm, in any
student/daily space (employee spaces may also be used after 4:30pm)
• For FREE (non-ticketed) concerts: the checkout process will display a $0.00 amount for these
events
• For TICKETED concerts: a discounted daily permit of $4.00 will be offered for purchase
For events other than concerts: daily virtual parking permits may be purchased for $8 from the
machine on the 5th floor of the parking structure (PS1) adjacent to Capistrano Hall, as well as at
machines in other parking lots/garages on campus. The machines on campus accept exact cash or
credit card.
The School of Music does not arrange parking for community events held at Capistrano Hall. It is the
responsibility of the organizations that run these events to make arrangements with UTAPS directly.
Attendees at festival events such as the Winter Jazz Festival, Teagarden Jazz Festival, or Golden Empire
Music Festivals should purchase parking permits from the machine as outlined above.
NOTE: If for any reason you receive a citation while on campus, the reverse of the ticket has a web address for
appeals. Please note that the School of Music does not have the ability to contest or waive parking tickets.
