What time does the show at Chase Center start?
Doors are slated to open at 6:30 p.m and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.
As with many concerts, be prepared for a long night. If you don’t mind spoilers, you can view Charli xcx and Troye Sivan’s likely setlist for San Francisco on Spotify.
Concertgoers on the Sweat tour have reported heavy use of strobe lighting, so folks with light sensitivity should be advised. Even if you don’t have any documented issues with strobe lights, you may want to consider taking a style note from Charli herself and packing a pair of large dark sunglasses.
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 Chase’s two bag check locations for a fee of $10. Bag check is at the corner of 16th Street and Terry Francois Boulevard.
Here are some more things you cannot bring into the Sweat tour show at Chase Center:
- Bottles and cans
- Refillable water bottles

How do I know if I’ve got a good seat at the Sweat tour 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 its online A to Z Guide, which includes 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?
Chase Center has a guide to its parking garage. Tickets for the parking garage are $50.
The venue’s website also refers fans to the third-party parking website SpotHero for other non-Chase Center parking options nearby. It costs $75 to reserve a spot nearest to the stadium, with a 2 minute walk.
There are also cheaper parking options farther away. So, if you’re driving to the show but haven’t secured your parking yet, consider wearing comfier shoes for the walk over and back.
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 — and this author is 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 Forth Street towards the Forth and King Caltrain Station.”
As you leave the show, rideshare apps will automatically display 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 Sweat tour?
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.
SF Muni
Any Chase Center patron who shows their event ticket at Muni turnstiles and boarding platforms can ride Muni without charge.
There is a Muni Metro rail stop serving the venue on the T Third Street line, which connects Chinatown and Sunnydale. See the Muni Metro schedule.
BART
Several BART stations have convenient connections to get to the venue.
Muni Route 22 connects to the 16th Street and Mission BART station. This stop is located on Third Street and Gene Friend Way.
Muni Route 15 serves as a connection to Montgomery Street BART station. This stop is located on Third Street and Warriors Way.
You can transfer to the new Union Square Muni Metro rail station from Powell BART station via the underground corridor to take the T Third Street line or S Shuttle Mission Bay line to the UCSF/Chase Center stop.
You can find more information and schedules on the BART website.
Caltrain
If you take Caltrain to San Francisco, you can walk 15–20 minutes along Fourth Street and turn left on Gene Friend Way to Chase Center.
You can also transfer from the Caltrain station to the Muni Metro T Third Street platform, which is located across the street, and take Muni to the UCSF/Chase Center stop.
Since the show is on a Sunday, the last train leaving San Francisco is around 12 a.m., but be sure to check the Caltrain’s weekend schedule.
Biking
Chase Center offers guests free bike valet for the first 300 bikes an hour before start time. The valet is available along 16th Street. Public bike parking is available along 16th Street and Terry Francois Boulevard.
There is also a Lyft/Bay Wheels bike share station at the intersection of Warriors Way and Terry Francois Boulevard. While they’re convenient and easy to use, the limited availability of these bikes means you should have a backup plan — or you might get stranded.
Can I still get a ticket to the Sweat tour?
According to Ticketmaster, tickets are still available, with the lowest at $279
You may find better deals with resale tickets on sites like StubHub, but you should make sure you are not purchasing fake tickets. Read more tips about avoiding ticket resale scams.

Multiple people lose eyes, hands in illegal fireworks-related injuries in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — San Francisco emergency departments and first responders experienced a sharp increase in serious injuries over the Fourth of July weekend, with illegal fireworks and electric scooter crashes contributing to some of the busiest days in recent years.
At Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, medical teams treated a wave of patients suffering severe trauma. In one incident, bystanders rushed to help a person who was bleeding heavily after a hand injury. A 911 dispatcher described the call as “Extreme Trauma. Hand injury.”
Dr. Christopher Colwell, chief of emergency medicine at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, said surgeons worked to treat patients with devastating injuries.
“We are able to do a lot with and sometimes save the function of the hand and eye. Unfortunately, there are injuries that exist every year where we are not able to do that even with the expertise that we have,” Colwell said.

According to Dr. Colwell, four people lost eyes, five lost hands and at least 15 people suffered serious injuries related to electric scooters over the weekend.
“We saw a lot of electric scooter accidents. And I think part of it was that their traffic was such that that was a more efficient way of getting around town. But we also learned very clearly that the combination of electric scooters and how fast you can go in San Francisco, particularly going downhill along with not wearing a helmet and adding alcohol on board, is a really bad combination,” Colwell said.
ABC7’s data team reviewed San Francisco EMT data and found that medical incidents on July 4 and July 5 were about double the number reported during the same period in 2025.
Lt. Mariano Elias of the San Francisco Fire Department said emergency crews handled significantly more calls than usual.
“We had almost 200 more calls than we normally have so we had roughly 576 calls in a 24-hour period,” Elias said.

Illegal fireworks activity also sparked fires across the city. Firefighters responded to Telegraph Hill, where crews quickly contained a blaze.
“We did have two house fires that night on the 4th of July, due to fireworks activities,” Elias said.
City officials estimated that more than 100,000 people were in San Francisco to watch Fourth of July fireworks, creating traffic congestion that complicated ambulance response efforts.
“All the gridlock between, people coming and going from, the Golden Gate Bridge. The city was very impacted on the streets. So that was an issue. The one particular ambulance did, involve themselves in an accident. So, someone hit the ambulance. So that patient had to be transported and moved to a different ambulance,” Elias said.
First responders warned that illegal fireworks activity typically continues for days after the Fourth of July and urged the public not to take unnecessary risks.

“No, no, no, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go,” one of the passengers is heard saying off-camera.

A Locals-Approved Modern Guide to Fisherman’s Wharf: Seafood, Beer Gardens + Iconic Bay Views
Most locals wouldn’t come within a quarter mile of kitschy, over-touristed Fisherman’s Wharf if they didn’t have to.
But if the last time you visited the neighborhood was when family were in town, prepare to be surprised. There’s more to this waterfront neighborhood than meets the eye—and more to come, as the resurgence of the area, hit hard in the pandemic, picks up speed.
In our locals guide to Fisherman’s Wharf, we remove the wheat from the chaff, directing you only to the good stuff that’s hiding in plain sight—along with a neighborhood hotel recommendation for when those out-of-towners inevitably come to visit.
Where to Eat in Fisherman’s Wharf
Contemporary Filipino at Abacá
(Courtesy of @restaurantabaca)
Scoma’s (1965 Al Scoma Way) is one of the city’s best seafood spots, and not just because it’s located right where the city’s last working fishermen bring in their daily catch. The bayfront restaurant has been in business since 1965 and it has a classy, old-school vibe with a warren of small dining rooms with views, signed memorabilia on the walls, and a mid-century-style showpiece bar at its center. Their cioppino is legendary, along with their Dungeness crab cakes, Louie salads, and perfectly-spiced Bloody Marys. // A leader in San Francisco’s contemporary Filipino food boom, Abacá (2700 Jones St.) chef Francis Ang is known for his creative, California-influenced takes on traditional flavors and dishes. Inside an airy atrium on the ground floor of the Kimpton Alton, the bright and unintimidating restaurant has an extensive lineup of seasonal small plates, barbecued skewers, noodle and rice dishes (you must try the lobster noodles!), and mains like stuffed quail tinutungan with fava beans and morel mushrooms. Don’t skip the cocktails: they’re inventive, unexpected, and pair beautifully with the food. // Stop by Cafe de Casa (685 Beach St.) at breakfast and lunch for Brazilian cheese bread sandwiches, tapioca crepes, and escondidinho, along with a variety of espresso drinks. // A recent addition to the neighborhood is the Japanese-inspired grab-n’-go vegetarian eatery, coffee shop, and market, Bunny Cafe (1327 Columbus Ave.), so named for its lounge full of adorable, adoptable rabbits. They work with a different local rescue organization every quarter, helping to find needy bunnies new homes, and you can reserve a 30-minute spot to visit them whether you’re in the market for a rescue or not. // Korean restaurant Surisan (505 Beach St.) serves up a mix of American-style and K-breakfasts by morning (think jook, bulgogi fried rice, and benedicts) and Korean fried chicken, BBQ, and dishes like bibimbap for lunch and dinner in an inviting, industrial-accented space off the tourist track. // On the second level at the entrance to Pier 39 is Eagle Cafe (Pier 39, Floor 2, A-201), a Fisherman’s Wharf staple since 1928 serving up crowd-pleasing classic breakfasts and lunches like fish and chips and burgers. If the weather is cooperating, eat out on their balcony overlooking the water. // Fog Harbor Fish House is the best spot for dinner on Pier 39. You may be one of the few locals in the crowd but if you’re in the mood to crack into a whole Dungeness crab or take down some clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl, this family-owned restaurant specializing in responsibly-sourced, sustainable seafood is the place to do it (plus, you can’t beat the views).
Coming Soon
The second location of affordable, delicious Saigon Sandwich (333 Jefferson St., #125) is set to open in Fisherman’s Wharf later this summer, adding soju cocktails to the menu alongside its beloved banh mi. // Cult-favorite fast-foodery Raising Cane’s is also planning to open later this summer, bringing their famous chicken fingers and Texas toast to the neighborhood (211 Jefferson St.).
Where to Drink Coffee, Cocktails + Beer

The Buena Vista (2765 Hyde St.) has built its reputation on Irish Coffee, which was allegedly invented by a bartender here in 1952. But the classic cafe with wide windows overlooking the bay next to the cable car turnaround has charmed many a local and visitor for decades (check out the behind-the-bar memorabilia from frequent patron, Hunter S. Thompson). It’s an ideal spot for a nostalgic cocktail—coffee-flavored or otherwise. // Humble Sea (Pier 39, Unit N-111-1) may be a fairly recent addition to Pier 39 but the whimsical, ocean-themed brewery has been making waves since it opened its first taproom in Santa Cruz in 2017. Its newest location has a beer garden on the wharf, and a colorful indoor bar with plenty of hoppy IPAs on tap. // Tiny Signal Coffee Roasters (2701 Leavenworth St.) will brighten up your morning with small-batch, house-roasted coffee drinks and beans, specialty bevvies, and in-house bakes.
Coming Soon
Later this summer, homegrown SF brewery Woods Beer & Wine Co. will open their new taproom in the nautical-themed remains of the historic former seafood spot, Fishermen’s Grotto No. 9 (2847 Taylor St.). The long-term pop-up is slated to have a full liquor license that will add barrel-aged and batched cocktails to their craft beer and wine offerings.
What to Do in Fisherman’s Wharf

If you’re not charmed by the Musee Mechanique (Pier 45), you’re dead inside. No, seriously: This place is an absolute gem, featuring more than 300 antique mechanical arcade games (one of the world’s largest private collections) kept lovingly in working order. Many originally came from Playland, the amusement park that operated on Ocean Beach from 1928 to 1972, (along with creepy Funhouse mascot Laffing Sal) and each machine costs just 25 to 50 cents to play. // You don’t have to be from away to want to spend some time with the sea lions at the Viewing Area at K Dock (Pier 39). The pinnipeds post up here by the dozens all year round, barking, sparring, and swimming in the bay, oblivious to the crowd of onlookers. Come in spring to see babies just old enough to climb onto the docks. // If you get a kick out of the more gruesome side of science, check out the Truhlsen-Marmor Museum of the Eye (645 Beach St.). On the ground floor of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, it’s chock-full of interesting exhibits about eyeball anatomy, vision, perception, and medical innovation. // Despite its recent scandal, the Cartoon Art Museum (781 Beach St.), an institution endowed by comic god Charles Schulz, is worth a visit for its small but well-curated collection of cartoon and comic book art. // If you’re into naval history, step on board the S.S. Jeremiah O’Brien (Pier 35) or U.S.S. Pampanito (Pier 45), a restored naval ship and submarine from the World War II era.
Where to Stay in Fisherman’s Wharf

If you’ve got friends or family coming into town who’d rather avoid staying in the hustle of downtown, Fisherman’s Wharf is a good, transportation-connected alternative. While the Kimpton Alton (2700 Jones St.) is the most luxurious option in the neighborhood, the Hyatt Centric Fisherman’s Wharf (555 North Point St.) is an excellent, more affordable alternative that’s just been completely renovated with a special emphasis on sustainable design and guest wellness. The freshly redone guest rooms—some of the most spacious in town—have a modern look accented in responsibly harvested wood and natural materials free of toxic substances, bronzed lighting and mirrors, patterned wall coverings, and subtle nautical accents.
An outdoor sun deck framed by the hotel’s upper floors has a heated pool and hot tub, along with new loungers and cabanas, and the 24-hour fitness center is full of top notch equipment including treadmills, bikes, and free weights (in-room yoga classes are also available on demand). Brick & Beam, the hotel’s signature, brick-walled gastropub, is open all day, serving generous plates of brioche French toast and croissant sandwiches at breakfast, and a wide range of handhelds, flatbreads, and other crowd pleasers at lunch and dinner. Note the happy hour at the full bar (5:30pm to 7:30pm), where margaritas, beer, and wine are just $6—definitely among the lowest prices in town. A 24-hour market in the lobby also offers snacks and drinks to go. You can’t beat the location which is just two blocks back from the water and a short walk from Pier 39.
