She’s so unusual! And she’s coming to the Chase Center stage for a Tuesday night party that will have all the shes bopping one more time!
Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell tour is coming to San Francisco Nov. 26, and she’s bringing all her singalong hits. The ‘80s icon has led a storied career, blazing a trail with her powerful vocals and quirky style. Now is the time to celebrate a star and see her in all her glory before it’s too late.

Before you go, check the guide below so you have all the details to have the best night ever.
First of all, whether you’re using rideshare to get to the venue or driving yourself, we highly recommend buffering your travel time with an extra half hour or so to account for heightened traffic in the area. Then go ahead and add another 15 minutes to handle your parking your own car.
The Chase Center offers space to pre-paid parking pass holders at two distinct garages: the Mercedes-Benz Garage, accessible from 390 16th St. and 99 Warriors Way; and the Warriors Way Garage, accessible at 150 Warriors Way. Both garages are set to open at 5 p.m. the day of the concerts, and both garages close at midnight. You can learn even more about how to reach these garages at chasecenter.com/parking.
If you didn’t nab a limited parking pass in time, there are third-party operated garages recommended by the Chase Center at 1800 Owens St., and the corner of 19th Street and Illinois Street. When there are no events at Oracle Park, the Chase Center also recommends parking at Lot A at 74 Mission Rock St.
Yes, we’re sure you have the cutest purse picked out for this highly-fashionable show, but if your bag is any larger than 14” long and 6” wide, it’s going to have to be checked at the bag valet on Terry A Francois Blvd for a $10 fee. Backpacks are never allowed, although smaller fashion backpacks and diaper bags that look like backpacks can get a pass if they meet the 14” x 6” requirement. All bags will be searched and screened.
First of all, get your tickets for Tuesday’s show here. Now that that’s out of the way:
Printed tickets are a thing of the past at the Chase Center, because the venue has gone completely contactless—at least for entry. Make sure your mobile ticket is ready to be scanned once you get to security, either on your TicketMaster app or the Warriors + Chase Center Mobile App.
It’s always a good idea to download and access your ticket page before leaving the house, in case of a lowered cell signal due to crowds or lack of on-site WiFi. However, please be advised that screenshots of digital tickets don’t always work. Be sure to read the fine print of your mobile ticket.
Lauper is bringing a rotating cast of characters for opening acts throughout this tour journey, and San Francisco is lucky enough to have drag queen superstar Trixie Mattel! The singer-songwriter and TV personality is a Drag Race favorite, and she’s sure to put on one helluva show!
