The\u00a0Alamodome has been panned<\/a> for pricey $60 parking. But if they’re not careful, concertgoers could end up losing hundreds of dollars on what the Alamodome calls parking scams.<\/p>\n

Parking passes for Bruno Mars’ sold-out Sept. 23 performance<\/a> at the dome\u00a0are listed on sites including\u00a0StubHub, SeatGeek and AXS Marketplace at prices well above the venue’s official rate. At one point, a Lot C parking spot for the Mars concert was listed at $620 on\u00a0AXS Marketplace, according to a Sept. 2 Reddit post<\/a> by user @wewasanantonio. As of Friday, the most expensive parking pass for the concert was listed on the site at $488.<\/p>\n

The city-owned Alamodome isn’t charging those exorbitant prices, and city officials say parking passes being hawked online are not legit.<\/p>\n

“The Alamodome does not authorize third-party vendors to sell advance parking passes for Alamodome parking lots for concerts,” Victor\u00a0Caballero, marketing manager for the city’s Convention, Sports & Entertainment Facilities Department, told the San Antonio Express-News. “Concert parking in Alamodome lots is sold on-site when lots open, on a first-come, first-served basis.”<\/p>\n

The Alamodome price is $60, a rate approved by City Council. \u201cThe\u00a0Alamodome does not set or control prices advertised by third parties for parking passes purported to be for Alamodome parking lots,\u201d Caballero said. Nor does it receive any revenue from those sales, he added.<\/p>\n

In response to the Express-News’ inquiries, the Alamodome posted a “PARKING SCAM ALERT” on social media Friday afternoon warning attendees to steer clear of third-party listings purporting to offer on-site parking at the venue.<\/p>\n

According to a September 2024\u00a0Reddit post<\/a>, the grift isn’t new. One user, @quikopoi, described their experience paying $28 for a parking pass on Stubhub, only to discover on the day of the event that the lot was full and the actual parking charge was $15. The user, who did not disclose what event they attended or where, said they were unable to secure a refund.<\/p>\n

“When you buy parking from StubHub, you do not have a parking reservation AND you are not entitled to a refund if the parking is full. Apparently, you are just giving them money,” @quikopoi wrote<\/p>\n

For Alamodome concertgoers, the message from city officials is simple: If you want to park in an\u00a0Alamodome lot, the official rate is $60, and you won’t be charged until the lot opens. Authorized\u00a0off-site parking can be pre-purchased through\u00a0ParkWhiz using the link at Alamodome.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The\u00a0Alamodome has been panned for pricey $60 parking.
