Here are 9 things you need to know before going to a Philadelphia Flyers game.


  • Who Will They Be Playing?

    It’s not always a no-brainer. You’ll have your Flyers gear on, but make sure a jacket, a hat, or any other clothes you wear don’t rep the visiting colors. Don’t risk getting stuck wearing yellow if it’s a matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

  • Where Is A Good Place To Park?

    Eight parking lots surround the arena. Availability changes depending on your arrival time, but the C, D, E, F, and H lots surrounding the Wells Fargo Center are typically the easiest to access. The arena lots no longer accept cash.

    If you’d rather take public transportation to the game, NRG Station is the terminal stop on the Broad Street Line (SEPTA Orange Line). It lets riders out at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, just a short walk from the Wells Fargo Center.

  • What Time Can You Get In?

    The entrances open 1.5 hours before most home games. Season ticket holders can access select areas before single-game fans.

    Concession stands and merchandise locations around the main concourse typically open at the same time. The Flyers don’t allow reentry.

  • How Will The Fan Screening Process Work?

    Limit what you bring into the arena to make the screening process simpler. Fans cannot bring any outside food and beverage items.

    The Broad Street entrance, the 11th Street entrance, and the new premium entrance now have bag entry locations with a screening process to allow bags bigger than 4.5 inches x 6.5 inches and smaller than 14 inches x 14 inches. 

    The venues at the South Philadelphia Sports Complex have made improvements since the Covid-19 pandemic to keep lines at the entrances moving quickly.

    If you’re buying or selling, the Ticket Transfer app has also made it easier for people to exchange tickets before the game.

  • What Time Does The Game Begin?

    Most weeknight home games begin at 7 pm during the regular season.

    However, the Flyers play some afternoon games at home. Plus, any nationally televised games can change the typical schedule. Make sure you check before heading to the game.
