They will just charge you an extra days parking if you pull in on Thursday. Or you could bring it in EARLY Friday morning. But folks do start to get there early to get good spots so if you want a good RV spot, you'd definitely need to bring it in early. I'd call the management to see what time you could pull in.Four Play wrote:The yellow corner is the best location-wise, but we'd probably have to hold it overnight on Thursday...Dezdemona wrote:The closer to the Ampitheater the better.
The last time I took the boat to Buffett at Smirnoff, they let me in for free with the concert ticket. I remember because my tickets were in the boat and I had to get them in order to get in. I took up 3 spaces and it didn't cost a thing...Dezdemona wrote:They will just charge you an extra days parking if you pull in on Thursday. Or you could bring it in EARLY Friday morning.

All parking costs the same amount regardless of how close you get.
They will charge you extra parking for an RV since it takes up extra spaces.
I love that idea, FP.Four Play wrote:As good as the yellow corner is, I think this island might be even better.Angel Beech wrote:I really liked the area we had in yellow. Easy to find, lots of room and easy to save spaces in back for later arrivals. Trees for hammocks so Deb can snooze, too.
If we get there early enough we could park all around it and put up signs that say Hoot Island or something.

I've already cleared it with the boss I work for-only thing left is to clear it with the boss I LIVE with.
I can't remember ever paying for a parking space at Starplex/Smirnoff, but then I'm older than dirt and the memory goes phirst.Four Play wrote:Hmmm...the website says unless otherwise noted on ticket, parking is $15 per car.
Maybe I did have to pay something, but I know it wasn't much.
Texas Stadium was a different story - $75 a day or something...
I'll call Smirnoff tomorrow to be sure...
It may not always be that way in Dallas, but at Alpine, they do their best to shoehorn the max # of cars into the area, and are less than happy if you try to leave much space for setup. And the Island/triangle area looks like a good plan if you can pull it off.East Texas Parrothead wrote:I can't remember ever paying for a parking space at Starplex/Smirnoff, but then I'm older than dirt and the memory goes phirst.Four Play wrote:Hmmm...the website says unless otherwise noted on ticket, parking is $15 per car.

I sure hope we can park sideways. Last time, we didn't have much room to spread out.
I've found if you get to Dallas early enough (which we didn't do last time) and you go past where everyone's parking, they let you take extra spaces. Maybe we can get there bright and early this time and get a little extra wiggle room!RinglingRingling wrote:It may not always be that way in Dallas, but at Alpine, they do their best to shoehorn the max # of cars into the area, and are less than happy if you try to leave much space for setup.

Is this list right? I'll keep it updated. I have to organize things. It's my one fault. Well....maybe one of my TWO faults...
They start letting people in between 9:00 - 10:00, as I recall.txaggirl91 wrote:i'm going to do some digging and see if i know anyone with connections up there. it would be cool if we could get in the night before or early the day of the show
Most of that happens on Thursday. D/FW is an hour (at least) from the venue, so I think everyone's flying in on Thursday.RinglingRingling wrote:so from an intellectual, "what if" point of view... what time does the "taxi service" start picking up folks from the airport?
hmmm.. so getting in on the first flight of the day would be a lot of napping on airport bench seats. GotchaEast Texas Parrothead wrote:Most of that happens on Thursday.

Thursday, the first pick-up is at 3:00, or thereabouts!
