CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today parking reservation service SpotHero announced a new way to help event organizers and planners provide easy and affordable parking for event attendees. SpotHero for Events is designed to remove barriers to event attendance by making it extremely easy for guests to find and reserve parking in advance through SpotHero’s mobile app and website. SpotHero handles all aspects of the parking experience so event organizers can stay focused on the main attraction.
“I used SpotHero for Events in Philadelphia. It was beyond helpful because attendees could easily find and pay for parking near the event location without having to drive in circles and compare prices,” said Sarah Burgoyne, Marketing Manager for NeoCon East at the Philadelphia Convention Center. "SpotHero was so easy to work with, made sure our attendees arrived on-time without any parking hassle, and gave us one less thing to worry about when planning our event.”
SpotHero creates a custom event parking landing page where attendees can easily view and reserve convenient and affordable parking options near the venue or location. SpotHero’s platform even reflects street closures and construction so attendees always have the latest information. Event organizers can embed SpotHero’s custom parking webpage on their event websites, emails and other event communication materials so attendees can reserve parking with one click. SpotHero then handles everything from communication to inventory management to customer support. SpotHero Customer Heroes are available to answer any customer service needs, even on nights and weekends.
“The struggle of finding parking and the high costs associated with it should never prevent people from getting where they need to go—whether it’s a concert or a convention,” said Mark Lawrence, co-founder and CEO, SpotHero. “SpotHero for Events ensures that event organizers can offer stress-free parking to attendees, and attendees can relax knowing they have a spot waiting for them, booked in advance right from their phones.”
SpotHero has partnered to provide parking at a number of leading events around the country from music festivals to cultural gatherings, marathons, fundraisers and charity events. These include Chicago’s Christkindlmarket, CureSearch for Children's Cancer, NYC Triathlon, and Denver’s Taste of Colorado, among more.
