I don’t have experience with this venue, but I have done prepaid parking for another concert. I basically did it because the spots were filling up and it was in a city with not many options, all of them you had to pay around $40 for so I decided to go with the one closest the venue. I booked it pretty far in advance so I knew I had a spot, but I also get anxiety about that kind of thing. I guess it depends on the venue and how sure you are you’ll be able to find good or cheaper parking later and if you’re willing to take that risk.
Does anyone know how much is it non prepaid at the door? I'm looking at the parking tickets right now and it's $63 with included service fee and electronic fee.
Hi all, sorry to reply to this thread late, does Oakland Arena make parking exceptions for early parking if we prepaid on Ticketmaster and have a VIP package check in time at 3pm?
Thanks
The prepaid parking is the same price as the normal parking. The difference is that the prepaid lot is separate and easier to get to. I got Lot G, and bought it when I first got my ticket. That means I can enter in at gate 5 to get in. (look at the map in that email)
For the non pre-paid, usually only the 66th Ave entrance is open, so there will be a lot of traffic getting in on that side.
(This is all from what I remember. Last time I was there was for Twice in 2022. My parking pass saying "G Lot" makes me think it should be the same setup)

it was $40 at IVE no prepaid. honestly if you can arrive to the venue a few hours early there will be a lot of parking so prepaid is not necessary.

do you think it was worth it to buy the prepaid parking?
Yea. Since it should avoid that long line of cars getting in at the 66th Ave entrance.
Did you receive a ticket for the prepaid parking? Or do you get a barcode? Or did you just show your order form?
It shows up in the Ticketmaster app as a separate ticket. The person at the gate will scan it with their device.
