    I waited too long and parking is basically sold out. If anybody has a pass they’d be willing to part with please let me know. Prefer lot F or N, but open to any. Willing to pay a reasonable premium.

    PM me. Don't have a pass but might have a COTA contact if you haven't already tried him.

    There ARE Cash Lots, don't panic.

    And from town you can get an Uber or a cab and skip the bus lines.
    Most owners near the track offer parking in a field and a modest Shuttle.

    I have some other secrets too.....;)

    Park at the demolition company lot across from the gas station, 13000 FM-812.

    Park for $20 & walk right up to the main entrance.

    There is a city park on Hwy 71 just east of 130 where we parked one year. Just had one pass, and left 2 other cars there.

    Being so close to COTA, you could probably catch an Uber back and forth from there, and park for free.

    Tip: NEVER buy Lot Q parking!

    If you didn't see the news, COTA had something like 30 buses NOT show up as contracted to support transportation for Lot Q. People waited hours for a ride on Friday and it wasn't much better Saturday. My son was one of those stranded on Friday and made the 4 mile trek back to his car on foot rather than wait for a bus. His friends waited, took nearly 2 hours to get a ride. I found parking at a guys house that was a pretty close to Lot A and paid for Saturday and Sunday parking.

    On Monday, I sent COTA a letter asking for a refund due to their failure. To my surprise, they gave it to me! I'm still out $40 for handling and processing fees but I actually saved money by parking in the guys yard over using the COTA passes. I'll never miss out on parking again, lesson learned. BUY EARLY!

    I ended up in one of those houses across Elroy from Lot M....I tried to explain...

    COTA has ruined the Rolling Stones show as well, they have lost the plot IMO, as well as the County Traffic Plan of 2012
    I guess someone left, and took it with them!!

    They are lucky no one got killed in the dark, along FM812.
