Frequently Asked Questions

When is the 5 Seconds of Summer concert in San Diego and what time does it start?

The 5 Seconds of Summer concert in San Diego, California is scheduled for July 9, 2026 at Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl, San Diego State University, as part of the EVERYONE’S A STAR! World Tour. The show is set to start at 8:00 PM, with doors opening at 7:00 PM, so arriving 60–90 minutes early gives you plenty of time for parking, security checks, and finding your seats before the band takes the stage.

Where is Viejas Arena located and what is the area like on show night?

Viejas Arena is located on the San Diego State University campus at 5500 Canyon Crest Drive, a busy university area with campus parking structures, student housing, and a few nearby food options. On concert nights the area around SDSU can be congested with both student and event traffic, so it is smart to plan your route, allow extra time to navigate campus roads, and follow posted signs to the correct parking structures.

How can I buy tickets for the 5 Seconds of Summer San Diego show?

Tickets for the San Diego date of the EVERYONE’S A STAR! World Tour are available through Ticketmaster’s official event page, which lists the July 9, 2026 show at Viejas Arena. You can also find tickets via other reputable outlets and resale platforms that link to this event, but always check that the date, time, and venue are correct and that you are comfortable with the total price including fees before you purchase.

What are some tips for getting cheap tickets to the San Diego concert?

To find cheaper tickets, compare prices across multiple ticket sites and look at different seating zones, because upper-level or side sections at Viejas Arena often cost less than lower-bowl or floor spots while still offering a good view. Watch for presales, radio promotions, and late resale price drops, sort by “lowest price,” be flexible about exact rows or sections, and focus on solid-value seats rather than only aiming for the closest locations if you want to keep your costs down.

Are there VIP or special experience packages available for this San Diego date?

Yes, VIP Nation lists special VIP packages for the EVERYONE’S A STAR! World Tour that include premium tickets, access to the 5SOS pre-show soundcheck, exclusive tour merchandise, early entry, and a dedicated VIP entrance, and the San Diego Viejas Arena date is included among the U.S. stops. These packages are more expensive than standard tickets but are ideal if you want a more immersive experience with closer views, extra pre-show time, and limited-edition 5 Seconds of Summer items.

What time do doors open and when should I arrive?

Event information for the San Diego show notes that doors open at 7:00 PM, one hour before the 8:00 PM concert start. Planning to arrive 60–90 minutes early helps you handle campus traffic, park in the correct structure, walk to the arena, pass through clear-bag security checks, and grab merchandise or refreshments without rushing.

What is the bag policy at Viejas Arena for concerts?

Viejas Arena is a clear bag venue: bags must be clear plastic or clear vinyl and may not exceed 12" x 6" x 12", or you may bring a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag instead. Small purses, clutches, or wallets (clear or non-clear) no larger than about 4.5" x 6.5" are allowed, but backpacks of any size are not permitted, so using a compliant clear bag or just a small clutch is the best way to move quickly through security.

Are there other important security or venue rules I should know?

All personal items at Viejas Arena are subject to inspection, and the clear bag policy is strictly enforced to speed up entry and support safety on campus. The venue is also cashless, so plan to pay for parking, food, and merch with credit or debit cards or mobile payment options, and check current arena guidelines before the show in case of any updated entry protocols.

What are the parking options and typical costs at Viejas Arena?

Concert parking for Viejas Arena is available mainly in SDSU Parking Structures 12 and 7, with event parking typically priced at around $31 per vehicle, payable by card or mobile pay only. ADA parking is offered in designated areas like Parking Structure 7, Parking Lot 8, and Parking Structure 12, and parking areas usually open about 90 minutes before doors, so early arrival makes it easier to get a good spot.

What are some ways to save money on parking and transportation for the San Diego show?

To keep your transportation costs down, consider carpooling with friends and splitting the parking fee, or using the San Diego Trolley (MTS) to the SDSU station, which is within walking distance of Viejas Arena. Arriving early can help you avoid circling for spaces, and checking the campus map and trolley schedule in advance makes it easier to choose the most budget-friendly combination of transit and walking.

How can I keep my entire San Diego concert night affordable while still having fun?

Start by setting a clear budget for tickets, parking or transit, food, and merch, then look for value seats in upper or side sections across several ticket sites and always compare final prices including fees. You can stretch your budget by carpooling or taking the trolley, bringing only a compliant clear bag to avoid delays, eating before you arrive, and limiting impulse merch and drink purchases so most of your spending goes toward enjoying 5 Seconds of Summer live at Viejas Arena.
