Its position beside the arena makes it the most direct choice when carrying equipment, travelling with children or arranging an easy post-show departure. The SEC says the campus is just off the M8 motorway and has plenty of parking (sec.co.uk). A separate multi-storey car park is available on the east of the campus, while the drop-off and pick-up zone is west of the SEC Centre (ovohydro.com). The venue’s parking page identifies the adjacent multi-storey facility as the main event parking area (ovohydro.com). Event traffic can make the campus approaches slower than normal, so pre-booking the main facility is useful when advance booking is offered for your event. ## Alternative Car Parks Near the SEC Campus The SEC campus provides another named option through its east-side multi-storey car park (sec.co.uk). The facility is part of the wider event-campus parking arrangement rather than a street space, making it a practical alternative when the adjacent arena car park is busy. For a lower-cost nearby choice, Blackcircles records parking for up to 9 hours at £8.50, located a six-minute walk away (blackcircles.com). The same guide states that standard event parking at the venue costs £12 for the evening (blackcircles.com). The SEC’s motorist guidance says residential parking cannot be accommodated at the SEC (sec.co.uk), so drivers should use a named car park instead of relying on nearby residential streets. The west-of-campus drop-off and pick-up zone is intended for short passenger movements, not all-day event parking (ovohydro.com). Show map of Glasgow City ## Street Restrictions Around Stobcross Road on Event Days The venue address is Stobcross Road, Finnieston, Glasgow, G3 8GF, and the adjacent multi-storey car park is at 10 Stobcross Road (ovohydro.com). Drivers should follow the signed campus approach rather than attempting to wait beside the arena, particularly when an event is releasing its audience. The SEC states that residential parking cannot be accommodated at the campus (sec.co.uk). Use the SEC’s west-side drop-off and pick-up zone for passenger movements, as identified by the venue’s access guidance (ovohydro.com). ## Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of the Venue Parksy lists a driveway space near Macdonald Alastair Endodontics, 0.3 mi away, at £4.20 an hour. A parking space in Glasgow G3 near Abode is 0.4 mi away and costs £2.30 an hour. Both are useful for drivers who prefer a booked off-street space outside the main campus. At 0.5 mi, Parksy lists parking at Premier Inn Glasgow Pacific Quay for £12 an hour, a space at Anderston Medical Centre for £3.05 an hour, and secure parking on Sandyford Street in Glasgow G3 for £1.03 an hour. These locations suit drivers willing to trade a longer walk for an alternative to the event car park. Secure and convenient Hilton Glasgow parking in G38HT is 0.6 mi away at £12 an hour. A 0.3 mi walk is around six minutes at a steady pace, while the 0.4 to 0.6 mi options take longer after a show or match, when crowds leave the venue together. ## Rail and Walking Access From Exhibition Centre Station Exhibition Centre railway station is the nearest station, 175 yd from the venue and a three-minute walk. It is the simplest rail arrival for visitors attending an event at the arena, avoiding the busiest vehicle movements around Stobcross Road. Cessnock subway station is around a 14-minute walk away, while Kinning Park subway station is also around a 14-minute walk away. Both provide alternatives for travellers approaching from the south and west of Glasgow. The arena is in Finnieston, near Glasgow City, at Stobcross Road, Finnieston, Glasgow, G3 8GF.
