    There are many parking options right around Fenway. You will have no trouble finding one. You will have trouble with the outrageous prices they charge.

    Last time I parked at the 100 Clarendon Garage.  It was a bit of a walk (~1.25 miles) but they had a special for Fenway parking if you parked after 4:30 PM.  I actually enjoyed the walk.  On the way to the park I got to see the city and on the way back I got to work off some of the energy from the show. Plus the garage is right of the Mass Pike.

    i highly recommend using uber.  i had never used it before 2016 at fenway. it was dirt cheap and REALLY easy to get to the venue.  literally dropped off in front and was able to park in a nice location with a meter away from Fenway.  If I remember correctly it was like $5-7 each way

    Directly around Fenway will run you about $45-$50, maybe a bit more. Slightly less as you go further out. I second Parkwiz but the exact prices are sometimes a bit off depending on event.

    Use my secret garage where Pilgrim rd and Longwood intersect. Always $8 and it's about a 15 minute walk. If you decide to walk on the Riverway to get to Fenway just watch out for the Turkeys in the trees, they'll shit on you.

    For Parking here are a few options I have used for Fenway in the past:


    Hynes Auditorium Garage, 50 Dalton Street: http://www.pilgrimparking.com/boston-parking-garages/hynes-auditorium-garage.htm

      Prudential Center Garage: http://www.parkprudentialcenter.com/facility_hours.html

      Garage at 100 Clarendon: http://www.100clarendon.com/

      The first two are right across from each other and about a 15 minute walk from Fenway. They are easy off/easy on to the Mass Pike though so you should have no problems getting in or out. The third one is also easy off/easy on but is a little further away - maybe 30 minutes by foot or a short subway ride. You should be able to find all of these on Google Maps or Mapquest and get a sense of what is the best option for you.

    What someone else said on parkingwiz, too - the garages right next to Fenway are a complete rip-off.

    The parking garages right next to Fenway will be obscenely priced and a nightmare to get out of after the show. Park a distance away you are comfortable walking and it will make your night much better. Plus, you'll be walking in large crowds with people who share your postshow high.

    I second the Pilgrim garage in Longwood.  Cheap ($8), easy in/out, and you'll pass a few bars on your way to Fenway on the walk.

    I did the same to get around Boston in 2016. It was never more than $7-8 a trip. So easy

    And you laughed at me when I reserved that $10 spot the day prior to the tour announcement!
