Bus parking: We cannot provide parking for busses or bandwagons (any vehicle over 40’)
Please see the list of hotels for info on which can accommodate parking larger vehicles. Oversize vehicles will
have to arrive and unload immediately, and then leave.
Load in is at 50 Church St. through a set of double doors, up a slightly inclined hallway, through double doors
into the venue and 14’ truck ramp to stage. Total push <175’.
The Sinclair does not provide dedicated loaders, our 4 person production staff will assist in loading. Please be
conscious of the fact that these are your house staff all day and treat them as such. Please reach out if you
need to arrange dedicated loaders.
The Sinclair does not provide runners.
Timing:
*** There is a sound curfew of 5PM Monday through Friday***
Standard load in time is 4PM for headliners during the week for 5PM soundcheck (doors generally 7PM.)
If you are travelling in a bus, standard load in time is 1PM to accommodate driver downtime.
Room access no earlier than 30 minutes before scheduled load in.
If you are arriving in a bus or bandwagon, please call 30-60 before your arrival to confirm that the spaces are

that hour.
