Commercial vehicle drop-off for Thompson-Boling Arena is along Phillip Fulmer Way on the UT campus. Groups should plan their staging point in advance — on major concert nights, campus access roads back up quickly after doors open. Arriving 60 to 90 minutes before showtime gives the bus time to reach the drop-off lane without sitting in the worst of the event traffic on Lake Loudoun Boulevard.

Designated lots on the east and north sides of Neyland Stadium accommodate charter buses for concerts and events. UT event parking runs roughly $20–$30 per car — so a group of 40 arriving in separate vehicles can spend $800–$1,200 on parking alone before the show even starts. One charter bus eliminates that cost entirely.

Check the UT Parking and Transportation Services athletic events page before your event date for current lot assignments.

Big Ears typically runs in early spring, and both hotel inventory and transportation availability tighten significantly in the months beforehand. If your group is attending multiple shows across the festival's scattered downtown venues — the Tennessee Theatre, Bijou, Mill & Mine, and others — comparing and arranging transportation as early as possible gives you the most vehicle options and the sharpest pricing. Waiting until close to the festival usually means limited availability and higher pricing.

Full-size charter buses have a harder time on Gay Street — there's no dedicated commercial drop-off lane, and the block immediately in front of the Tennessee Theatre and Bijou is tight. A minibus handles the downtown grid much more cleanly and can drop your group at the Gay Street curb without the clearance or turning-radius issues a 45-foot coach creates. For groups of 15 to 30, a minibus is almost always the right call for a downtown Knoxville show night.

The Mill & Mine (227 W Depot Ave) sits in the Old City, just off the Jackson Avenue corridor — close to downtown but on a different grid from Gay Street. Street parking in the Old City is limited on show nights, and the walk from the State Street Garage is longer than most groups expect. A minibus or smaller party bus drops the group at the Depot Avenue entrance and can stage nearby while the show is running, so post-show pickup is already handled rather than left to a rideshare queue on Jackson Avenue.

Yes — and this is one of the most practical uses for a charter bus or minibus during a multi-day event like Big Ears. Groups staying at hotels in the Cedar Bluff area near I-40, in West Knoxville, or near the airport along Alcoa Highway can book a daily round-trip shuttle into the festival zone rather than driving in and out each day. It removes the parking problem entirely and keeps the group on a consistent schedule.
