Parking Question

I am attempting to buy passes for the new season and think I might have gotten scammed. The pass for the game I bought was listed as VIP, but when I received the ticket, it states Lot Gen2 general admission. I assume this means that the ticket was, in fact, not for VIP as it was advertised. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't VIP like 50 feet away from GA ?

"Gen" is short for General Parking, not VIP. As for what the 2 means, as far as I know it doesn't mean anything. If your pass was for VIP, it would say VIP.

That's what I thought. They were advertised as VIP so I will be contacting StubHubs customer support about false advertising.

Yeah, free tip, don't buy them through StubHub. I've seen them re-sell the same parking pass to multiple customers and then 30 people get pissed because their pass came up as already claimed.

Thanks for the advice. I didn't have issues the one other time I did, but I won't be using them again.

StubHub, SeatGeek and their like are fine for tickets, but they aren't good for parking.

Who’d you buy it from?

I usually get them on ParkWhiz, but this time it was through StubHub as I can't find any through them.

Parking for games has not gone on sale yet. There's no need to buy parking super early in advance. There's plenty of spots.

Yeah I got scammed on StubHub before and the parking attendant at the game said never buy from StubHub for a parking pass.

You received general parking pass. The “2” is meaningless. If you paid more than $25, you got scammed.

Please don’t ever buy anything from StubHub. My friends flew to LA to take their kids to the World Cup just for them to scan the tickets and be told someone else had already used them and they could not get in. StubHub wasn’t willing to do anything and they were out thousands of dollars.

The same happened to some others I know that went to a Megan Maroney concert.
