I just looked at the registration today and it looks like the parking is sold out!

It seems unclear as to where you park if not on site (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Uber is recommended (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Anyone has more info on this?

This event has gotten too 'trendy.' Unfortunately, it's become a victim of it's own popularity.

$35 and $65 seems like someone is making a lot of money off of a car show.

My $.02.

Normally I would agree, $65 is a pretty good chunk of change, but as the event gets bigger it drives a need for larger venues, which costs more money, to rent, get permits for, and pay insurance for. Not to mention that at luft4, harbor police had to be paid for overtime since city streets were being impacted so heavily. I'd imagine Luft5 will require similar police activity.

I have to agree with Ethan. Good example was the $20 general parking at the Phoenix club in The Honda center. They had to get permission and rent off them for space. Was not cheap to rent either.
