Thanks for posting the tailgating info, Bob. Much appreciated.
I just purchased an RV pass, so we'll be there in Lot 5 to enjoy the party!
Now off in search of the mythical amazing deal on tickets for the concert

Two weeks to go!
FYI, I contacted the Honda Center regarding overnight parking.
Here is the response from the parking manager.

Thank you for your email.
Overnight camping is not encouraged. All activities in the parking lot must cease after 11pm. However, for guest safety, vehicles are permitted to remain parked in the lot until 8am.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,
Jeff Grant
Parking Manager

Since lot passes are sold out, what are others doing? Any nearby bars where folks may be pholcking to? Any word on when the other lots might open and folks can just walk over to lot 5 in order to partake in the fun and have a few cold beverages?

It’s a shame they are so strict....

I asked the parking manager about the other lots as well. He said the remaining lots will be openeing at 2pm.

The 2019 wheel is ready!

Thanks, I saw that online as well. Since you seem to have a contact, are they trying to police the coming and going from the main lot? In other words, if I park in a secondary lot at 3 pm and have a cooler of beverages, will I be allowed to walk over to the tailgate lot and enjoy my beverages with other folks? I assume that would be ok, but would love to know for sure. Would be a shame to roll up early and then be stuck without options...

Yeah, you can just walk across Douglas Street to get to lot 5. I've never seen a situation where they're controlling pedestrian entrance between lots, but I PM'd you the parking managers contact info if you want to be sure.

Does anyone have an extra RV pass?

From Parking Manager:

"A ticket is not required for pedestrian access into Lot 5."
