Parking sold out for OSU game

[cvilleelkscoach]

For those of you who do not have a prepaid or advance parking pass for the game you are out of luck. They have stopped selling passes and will not offer parking without a pass on Saturday. Please see the link for more info. This has been a public service announcement.

When did pre-pay go up to $22.25 a game. Thought it was $20

There is a "processing fee"

So running over the espn gameday set and parking on Old Main Lawn is not an option?

Since the lots are sold out, what happens if we get a lot of rain on Thursday and Friday? Can they still close them?

Rain is not in the forecast.

If it were, maybe the Nittany Mall would finally have a few cars in its parking lots.

Wow... has parking ever sold out? That could be a nightmare for folks that aren't checking the website and expecting to pay cash on game day. I'm sure they'll have signage early along entry routes.

 

[NittPicker]

What are the chances of me being able to sell my spare yellow pass on the way in?? People who don't already have one won't be there to buy it.

Probably have to sell to people out by wal mart, or to someone who somehow gets all the way to park ave and is told to turn around.

I can guarantee that all the lots are not filled. They have port a potties down at the end of orchard road, near mill brook marsh and I’ve never seen any cars down there.

Only if you want to play offensive line for Pitt

It's going to be a nightmare for the rest of us, too. There are probably going to be 1000's of people driving up to the lots, unaware that passes are sold out, expecting to buy a parking pass and tailgate. They'll have to turn around and go against traffic. No doubt some will make a big stink and clog everything up. This has the makings of a traffic disaster.

Good odds I'd say. People who don't already have them are still going to be there because not everyone is going to hear they are sold out.

Post it on CL they are selling like crazy. $60 - $100

 

[LoyalandTrueLion]

What is the metric for measuring this? Two of us that work looked at each other yesterday and we're like it's the how do you run out of parking? I never remember seeing this anybody.

 

[jim cummings]

Amazing. Parking passes were $50 yesterday on stub hub and now after the announcement the cheapest is $193+ fees

Apparently it was pretty bad for Kent State.

What time do the lots close?

Has this happened before? I admit I do not pay much attention, but wow.

I think there have been times where the lots have filled up and people have been turned away on game day, but with the passes costing 3x as much if you buy them at the lot, and the big push by PSU to have them purchased in advance, we are in new territory here.

With the extra demand from the team being consistently good and the future bright, OSU being the biggest game of the year relatively early in the season, and a nice forecast (no jinx), we have the perfect setup.

We can probably expect this 1-2 times per season going forward if the trajectory of the program holds. What a great problem to have as fans!

 

[Agoodnap]

I suppose some enterprising young men and women may be going around the lots purchasing "used" tickets?

I'd sell it to you but I'm on the other side of the state. And I'm afraid to try the phone number. I smell some type of Rick Roll trap.

 

[RGWhirly]

If I didn't have a permit I would drive up Burrowes from College Ave around 7:45 am and start looking for one of the $25 cash lots around Palmer, the Pavilion, etc. and tailgate in the grass around there.

It was not a big deal for us, but we go in off Fox Hollow and were in the parking pattern not much past 9 am.

I had no problems before or after via 26.

Get there early.

Some fool has a yellow lot pass posted on stubhub for $9,000!

Only if you beat the traffic to park on Desmond

Only if Mr Howard is on said set at the time, then it will be OK

I'm no fool...you know that!

Someone just posted one (yellow pass) on a FB group for $150 and he was getting blasted. There is def a crapload of Greed going on in SC this weekend

 

[pandaczar12]

What time do the lots open?

 

[srg1]

What time do the lots open?

Now they need to come up with a system to stop people from scalping parking passes?

 

[NittPicker]

So does anyone know where a good place would be to try to sell my spare yellow pass on game day? I'm going to ask for $60 since that's what someone would normally pay if they arrived without a pass.

The day of the common man scrimping & saving to take his family to a PSU game has just about passed us by.
