FAQs

When should I go?

Shoppers who want to get first dibs on the bargains—and appreciate a high energy atmosphere should head to Le Garage Boutique Sale first thing on Saturday. VIP Pre-Shop Shoppers begin lining up an hour prior to doors opening, so expect a crowd. Then again, if you prefer a more leisurely shopping experience, come later in the day Saturday or Sunday. FYI, many retailers will re-stock overnight—and often mark their prices down even more on Sunday! With over 140+ boutiques/designers in attendance, you are not going to miss out whichever way you decide to do it!!

How do I get tickets?

Admission is $12.00 per person, per day on Saturday & Sunday. Tickets for VIP Pre Shop (EARLY Admission: 9:30 a.m. on Sat.) are $30. Tickets are available at the door — or SKIP THE LINE and buy tickets in advance thru Eventbrite on your phone or on our website (see orange button)!

There are 3 ATM’s on site (bank transaction fees apply)-- one is in the Palmer lobby, two are inside the hall : at the front near concessions and at the back of the hall near the bar.

Do children need a ticket?

Kids 12 & under are FREE! 😃

Where can I park?

Parking is available in the 4-story Palmer Parking Garage, right next to the venue (to the east). It has two entrances: one on Barton Springs Rd. and one on Riverside Dr. Pro Tip: If there is any traffic, enter on Riverside. You can also carpool with friends -- or use Uber/Lyft.

Cost: Parking is $10 for most events.

The Parking Garage is owned/mngd by the City of Austin. Follow this link for more parking details/directions: https://www.palmereventscenter.com/directions-and-parking/

Where can I find a list of participating Vendors?

An updated list of Vendors is available on our website: https://legaragesale.net/vendors. You can click the Vendor's name to check out their Instagram or website.

Where can I find the Shopper Map with Vendor booth locations?

A couple of days before the event, we will post the Shopper Map on our Insta/FB. Be sure to screenshot and save to your Favorites! You can also use the scancodes on signs at the event to download the Shopper Map to you phone.

Are there change rooms?

Some stores set up a change room area but most do not. And because it’s final sale, unless you are comfortable “le nu”, dress accordingly. Many women wear biker shorts, bathing suits, modest lingerie. And voila! You’re prepared to score une grand affaire!!

Who do I Pay for Merchandise?

Every retailer processes their own sales, so you must pay for your merchandise in each booth. Some Vendors may be cash only, but most will accept credit cards or Venmo...just ask them!

Is there an ATM?

There are 3 ATM's on site (bank transaction fees apply). One is in the Palmer lobby and two are inside the hall: at the front near concessions and in the back of the hall near the bar.

Are strollers allowed?

It can be very difficult to navigate the aisles and booths with a stroller. If you need to bring one, you may want to come later in the day when it is typically less crowded.

What is the entrance fee used for?

Door charges cover venue costs, advertising, insurance, staffing, and all the millions of little things that have to happen to make this event a reality. Because the stores are selling at or below cost, Le Garage Boutique Sale keeps the Vendor fees low so they can pass those savings on to you!!!

Are food & drinks available?

Coffee, snacks, sandwiches, etc. are available at Palmer concessions — and we'll have a full bar + roaming bar cart!
