- We've attend shows at the Straz and the Poe garage is nice for price($6) and convenience. After last night (We saw Riverdance) we'll never park there again. We parked on the top, it took over 40 minutes to get out of the garage. "they" made every car insert their paid parking ticket into the machine so the gate could be lifted. There we attendants standing there doing nothing when we got to that point. They should have the gate open and let people hand them the tickets, I'm sure our wait could have been reduced by half. It absolutely ridiculous given today's technology that there isn't a more efficient process.
