Why these three?
1 · Official venue parking
O2 Apollo Official Car Park (Hyde Road) — the easy choice
One minute walk from the venue door, £10 flat rate, cash only. This is the venue's own car park, so it's trusted, it's close, and you won't waste time hunting. If you arrive by 5pm, you'll almost certainly get a space. No app needed — just walk straight to the gig.

2 · Make a night of it
Sheffield Street Car Park — space to breathe, pre-show time
Eleven minutes walk, £6.90 for 8 hours or £9.60 for the day. You're in Piccadilly, which means you've got time to explore before doors. The Northern Quarter is just a few streets over — grab a coffee or a proper pre-show pint, have a wander, then stroll into town when you're ready. Less frantic than hunting for street bays, and you'll feel ready for the night.

3 · Quick getaway
The Pitch car park — the smart exit strategy
Eleven minutes walk, public car park with paid parking. Built for quick turnarounds, so after the final song rings out and everyone makes a dash, you'll get out of Ardwick faster than most. Worth planning ahead if you know you'll want a smooth departure.
The Pitch car park · ~11 min walk
Getting parked for Megan Moroney - The Cloud 9 Tour: the plan
The O2 Apollo sits in Ardwick, just off Stockport Road. If you're driving, aim to arrive by 5pm on the night — parking fills up from about 4.30pm onwards as people make their way in. The venue's got its own car park (1 minute walk, £10 cash), which is your safest bet for a guaranteed space if you get there early enough. If that's full, there's street parking all around the Ardwick area, plus Sheffield Street car park in Piccadilly (11 minutes walk) and The Pitch car park nearby for easy post-show exit.
Your three main options: grab the official O2 Apollo car park if you're arriving in good time (it's quick, it's right there, it's cash only); head to Sheffield Street if you want a bit more breathing room and don't mind a short walk through Piccadilly — you could grab a drink or a bite while you're down there; or use The Pitch if you're thinking strategically about the exit crush after the encore. Street parking is free, but you'll be hunting, so download the Parkwise app before you leave home to see live, verified reports from the community.
After the show, the queue to leave the car parks can be solid for 30 minutes. If you've parked on street, you'll get out faster. The Pitch car park is designed for quick exits, so if you want an easy getaway over a sit in traffic, that's your play. Either way, avoid the main Stockport Road push and take a side route back out.
Make an evening of it
Download the Parkwise app before you head out. Live parking reports expire after 60 minutes, so you'll see real-time street availability as you approach — way better than circling the same three roads.
Arrive by 5pm if you can. The official car park and nearby streets fill up between 4.30 and 6pm, so earlier is genuinely easier.
If you're heading to Sheffield Street, grab food or a drink in Piccadilly first — there's good pubs and spots all around. Park once, eat first, stroll in.
Cash only for the O2 Apollo official car park, so bring notes. Card payment is available at Sheffield Street and The Pitch.
Remember: no large bags or rucksacks allowed in the venue, and there's nowhere to leave luggage. Travel light so you can enjoy the night properly.
After the show, everyone leaves at once. If you parked on street, you'll likely get out faster than the car parks. If you're in a car park, give it 30 minutes and it clears.
