One of the biggest hassles of attending a sporting event or concert is finding parking. At TicketStumbler, we try to include as much information as possible on our venue pages to help you find directions and good place to park. Often times, however, the informal places to park (church parking lots, people’s yards, etc) aren’t listed on Google Maps or on the Venue’s website. Consequently, the only way to know the good and cheap places to park is through experience.

As any frequent concert goer or die-hard sports fan knows, parking tickets are inevitable. Parking spot hunting is often done when it’s dark, the street signs around the venue are usually ambiguous and you’re in a hurry. While it’d be nice to secure a comfy spot in the parking garage, who wants to pay $50-$100 for the privilege of doing so? Instead you’re left to fend for yourself along the winding streets usually found near campus stadiums or the confusing one-way streets wrapped around downtown venues. While this may be a massive headache for the driver, it’s also a prime opportunity for the passenger to play a practical joke.
