Texting your ex may be a bad idea — right? — but seeing Olivia Rodrigo live in San Francisco for her world Guts tour will probably be anything but.

The unbearably cool singer, who captures the angst and embarrassment of your early 20s like few other artists, will be playing two nights at Chase Center on Friday and Saturday night.

So if you’ve got tickets for one of Rodrigo’s SF shows on August 2 or 3, and you want to quit worrying about logistics, keep reading our guide to everything from Chase Center parking, bag policies, themed parties and more. Be sure to follow Chase Center on social media for any last-minute updates.

What time does the show at Chase Center start?

Doors are slated to open at 6:30 p.m., with the show starting at 7:30 p.m.

Rodrigo’s opener for the shows is bedroom pop singer PinkPantheress, and — in this reporter’s opinion — definitely worth being on time for. Rodrigo herself will likely be on around 8:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

As with many concerts, be prepared for a long night. If you don’t mind spoilers, you can view Rodrigo’s likely setlist for San Francisco on her official Spotify playlist.

If you are an American Express card holder, you may get to see the Guts tour bus outside the venue. When you enter, you can take pictures in a purple-tinged flashback to the ’90s, a bedroom decorated like the surly protagonist of a coming-of-age movie. If you buy some merch, you may get a complimentary gift.

The bus visit is first-come, first-served, and the time it opens has varied from city to city. Familiarize yourself with the other caveats on Rodrigo’s website around tour bus access, and consider monitoring fan page Livies HQ on social media to get updates.

What’s the Chase Center bag policy?

Backpacks (except for single-compartment drawstring bags) and hard-sided bags of any kind are prohibited from entering Chase Center. Any other bag you bring must be smaller than 14 x 14 x 6 inches in size.

Bags that do not meet the requirements can be checked at one of two bag check locations for a fee of $10. Bag check is at the corner of 16th Street & Terry Francois Boulevard.

Here are some more things you cannot bring into the Olivia Rodrigo shows at Chase Center:

• Bottles and cans.
• Refillable water bottles.
• Signs over 11 x 17 inches or attached to any pole or stick.
• Masks that cover the whole face. (Face coverings to lower your risks of catching — or spreading — COVID-19, like N95 masks, are allowed, which is just as well given the current COVID surge in the Bay Area.)
• Lights, tripods and professional recording equipment. Flash photography is not allowed.
• Noise-making devices, such as air horns, whistles or cow bells.
• Weapons and self-defense items of any kind, including mace, knives and tasers.
• Selfie sticks.

What else can you bring to Chase Center? These items include:

• Baby bags, plastic bottles and formula.
• Diaper bags (with a child).
• Bags accepted as medical bags.
• Umbrellas.
• Binoculars.

While portable phone chargers are not on the prohibited items list, Chase Center also offers charging stations compatible with most cellphone devices. Guests may rent a portable charger to take back to their seats at a cost of $2 for every 30 minutes.

How do I know if I’ve got a good seat at the Olivia Rodrigo Chase Center show?

If you are anxious about anything obscuring your sight of the stage or how you want to get to your seat fast, you can check out the view from your seat using Chase Center’s Virtual Venue map.

What should I know about accessibility at Chase Center?

Chase Center addresses questions about accessibility in their online A to Z Guide, where you can find information about accessible parking, hearing assistance, ADA-compliant restrooms and service animals.

The venue says guests can request complimentary wheelchair escorts by visiting the kiosks located at Portal 13 and Portal 52 or texting 833-CC4-FANS.

To schedule an American Sign Language interpreter, guests should contact guestexperiences@warriors.com ahead of time.

What should I know about parking at and near Chase Center?

There are some tickets left for official parking at Chase Center, at around $50.

The venue’s website also refers fans to the third-party parking website ParkWhiz for other non-Chase Center parking options nearby. It costs $56 to reserve a spot at the nearest garage, which is about a 10-minute walk from the venue.

Cheaper options starting at $12 are available for those willing and able to trek over a mile on foot — or take public transit for your last mile or two. So, if you’re driving to the show but haven’t secured your parking yet, consider wearing comfier shoes.

What about using rideshare services like Lyft and Uber at Chase Center?

While getting to the venue using a rideshare service might be fairly smooth, trying to find a car after the show is almost certainly going to be a challenge — speaking from personal experience. Due to surge pricing, it will also be far more expensive to get an Uber or Lyft as you exit the venue.

There are multiple designated pickup and drop-off zones located within one block of Chase Center. Upon arrival, use one of the designated passenger loading zones (white curbs) along Terry A Francois Boulevard for a safe curbside drop-off. The website also notes, under “Drop-off Locations” that “if you prefer to walk/take the train to a location where it’s easier to ride hail, we encourage taking the train/walking along 4th St. towards the 4th and King Caltrain Station.”

As you leave the show, the rideshare apps will automatically show you the best places to get picked up within a five-minute walk radius.

Accessible drop-offs and pickups are along the curb of 16th Street and Terry Francois Boulevard, with accessible entry and exit from the East Entrance. For folks with mobility considerations, the venue can provide a wheelchair to transport guests from Thrive City Plaza or the main lobby to their seats.

What’s the best way to take public transit to the Olivia Rodrigo concert?

Public transit schedules can always be subject to change. Check the timings for your route on the day of the show itself, and be sure of your very last service home. Chase Center has a comprehensive guide to public transportation on its website.
