Special Event Parking Validations
Special Event Validation (Chaser) tickets are available for use at all of the City of Tampa Parking garage locations. These tickets are used for single or multiple-day events to cover all parking charges for your event guests for up to a week. These tickets will cover either the hourly charge or the event rate charge for the facility. Due to high demand, it may take up to 2 weeks to complete your request for Special Event validation tickets and the order must be for 20 or more validation tickets.
The guest will pull a ticket to enter the parking facility and will need to save that ticket to exit the garage. All of the garages have automated equipment to exit the garage. The process is the same with the use of chaser tickets at these automated locations. Simply scan the original entry ticket at the machine followed by the chaser ticket and be on your way!
Please note the ticket will have the name of the event on the bottom of the ticket. You may receive more tickets than you requested since we understand that attendance can change without notice. You will only be billed for the tickets used during your event. We do not bill based on the number of tickets issued. The parking charges will be invoiced on the 16th of the following month after your event and will be emailed to the billing email on file. The Poe and Tampa Convention Center Garages are now FRICTIONLESS GARAGES and only use codes for special events.

New Daily Billed Accounts (Chaser)
New Daily Billed Accounts (Chaser) tickets are used for reoccurring monthly billed validation accounts. Daily Validations are available for use at all of the City of Tampa Parking garage locations. The validation tickets are used by surrounding businesses, offices, and agencies to validate parking for their customers or employees. These are NOT used for events. Parking charges are invoiced each month and are payable by Cash, Check, or Credit Card.
Daily parking validations can be set to cover all of the parking charges or only cover a certain time period for parking. For example, if the customer is parked for two hours in the garage your validation ticket can only cover the first hour of parking and the customer will be responsible for paying the remaining hourly charge. You will only be billed for one hour of parking. Due to high demand, it may take up to 2 weeks to complete your request for a reorder of an existing validation account and the order must be for 20 or more validation tickets.
