About Tower Theater Transportation
The Tower Theater sits at 19 S 69th St in Upper Darby, PA, at the corner of 69th and Ludlow in Terminal Square — right next to the SEPTA Market-Frankford Line's 69th Street Transportation Center. Originally built as a 1928 movie palace, it was converted to a concert venue decades ago and is one of the most storied performance rooms in the region. David Bowie recorded his 1974 live album David Live here during the Diamond Dogs tour. Capacity today is commonly cited at 3,140 seats (older listings show 3,064 or 3,119). The room's charm is that it's an old-school ornate theater at a size where mid-tier touring acts — indie rock, hip-hop, comedy, R&B, folk — play a real listening-room show rather than a shed or an arena.
The Tower's location is both its strength and its group-transportation challenge. Terminal Square is a busy commercial and transit corridor with limited on-street parking, a metered small lot behind the theater, and no meaningful dedicated concert-venue parking. That's fine for the transit-riders coming out of 69th Street Terminal, but it's a problem for a group of 10-40 who want to arrive together. Charter buses drop passengers at the curb on S 69th Street near the theater entrance and then stage off-site — typically at a nearby commercial lot or by circling back for post-show curbside recovery. Our chauffeurs work this room and know the drop-and-recovery patterns.
Best-fit vehicles for a Tower Theater show are 14-22 passenger party buses and stretch SUVs for smaller friend groups and birthday parties, 25-32 passenger mini-coaches for corporate outings and larger fan groups, and full 40-56 passenger motor coaches for multi-city fan trips coming from Wilmington DE, KOP, or Cherry Hill. Show doors typically open 60-90 minutes before showtime; concerts run 2-3 hours depending on the act.
Getting to Tower Theater: Routes, Exits, and Bus Drop-Off
From Center City Philadelphia: the fastest driving route is west on Market Street or West Chester Pike (Route 3) into Upper Darby, then Terminal Square — about 20-30 minutes off-peak. The SEPTA Market-Frankford Line's 69th Street Terminal is next door, but a group of 10+ is more efficient on a private charter.
From King of Prussia and the Main Line: I-476 south (Blue Route) to Exit 3 (Route 1 north/Media), then east on Route 1 to Upper Darby, or take I-476 south to US-1 north to Upper Darby. About 25-35 minutes off-peak.
From Wilmington DE: I-95 north to the Blue Route (I-476 north) exit, then Blue Route north to Route 1/Baltimore Pike or Route 3/West Chester Pike east. About 40-50 minutes off-peak.
From Cherry Hill and South Jersey: Walt Whitman Bridge or Ben Franklin Bridge into Philadelphia, then I-76 west to Route 1 south or west on Market Street to Upper Darby. Typical 45-60 minute drive off-peak.
Highway access: I-476 (Blue Route) to US-1 or Route 3 is the main highway approach. I-95 south to Route 320 north/Providence Road is a backup.
Bus drop-off and parking: curbside drop-off happens on S 69th Street directly in front of the theater entrance. On-street parking in Terminal Square is limited and metered; the small metered lot behind the theater is not a practical charter-bus solution. Buses stage off-site (nearby commercial lots) or circle back for post-show curbside recovery. Our chauffeurs coordinate the staging with the surrounding Upper Darby traffic pattern.
