So just some advice for fans making the trip down to Hamilton for the playoffs. Parking around the arena has wild fluctuations in pricing. The lot directly across the arena on Bay for example is usually a ludicrous 20 bucks. Parking under Jackson Square is a bit more reasonable, usually 10-15. However, I've also had good experiences with the lots across from the library on York Blvd, the large lot on Wilson and John as well as Jackson and MacNab (although it is a small lot). Usually they go for $2.50-$7.00 depending on time and if they realize there is an event that day. Behind City Hall is also an option, but I believe it is a flat $7.50 most of the time.
