2025 GA Parking Scalpers??

Yeah I have GA passes for every game that I bought the morning they went on sale but may need to get a 2nd possibly. At that price no way, will be parking 2nd car on campus if needed.
Glad I'm not alone.. I'm leaning towards the private lot across from haunted forest at this point unless we pick up some GA for 100 or less.
They had limits last year. One per account as I recall as I couldn't get a 2nd for my parents when I got mine for the KSU game.
Only way to beat the scalpers is don't buy the inflated prices. If its not profitable for them then they won't buy them up. No way I hell would I pay over $200 for a GA parking pass that originally sold for $40. Park for free on campus and find a friend's tailgate l.
Yep. If anyone is paying $275 for a grass lot pass for Arizona…why?
I didn’t realize they would sell out this far out and missed the ASU and BYU games. Will park on campus and pile into a friend’s car rather than pay those scalper prices.
Also, if you already have one why wouldn't you sell it for $250?
Planning on going to the ASU game and now seeing GA passes are sold out for that as well.
Any idea what time this grass lot opens on game days? Feeling like it might be the best shot at the moment for a poor guy like myself.
I assume they open at the same time as the grass lots. Noon I believe.
This lot is owned by The Randall Corporation, and typically Matt Randall is there on gamedays overseeing the parking. Not sure when they open the lot, but one can likely call the Randall Corp in Ames and ask (may need to specifically ask for Matt Randall). When leaving, they only exit to the North which puts you on S Russell Ave. My advice would be to take the first right on S 3rd street, then left on S Hazel if you are trying to get to Lincolnway (there is a stoplight at Hazel and Lincolnway intersection). Otherwise traffic gets backed up and stuck on S Russell with people stuck at the stop sign not able to cross or turn left on Lincolnway.
*I live on S Russell and walk through this lot to/from the stadium, have talked to Matt Randall in the past regarding them pushing the cars up S Russell, to which he said they have an easement agreement with the city to send cars up the walking path to get to S Russell.
GA is the grass lots. So if the GA lots show sold out, then that means the grass lots are sold out.
Your best bet would be to park on campus free and walk to the stadium.

Edit: I do see now you were talking about the Haunted forest area, which is private owned. So that would be different.
There was a policy last season where season ticket holders could purchase GA parking on M and T before non season holders for the week of a home game. This worked, the current process is flawed. Having to walk a mile or more to the stadium isn’t worth keeping my tickets.
Yeah I should’ve been more clear in my post. Went onto ticketmaster to purchase a GA spot for the usual $25 (at least that’s what I’ve paid the past couple years) and was shocked to only see re-sale options that were much much higher!GA is the grass lots. So if the GA lots show sold out, then that means the grass lots are sold out.

Allowing all the general parking passes to be bought ahead of time this year really sucks. I usually get up to 2 or so games a year and it’s impossible to buy a parking pass at close to regular price for any game. They need to go back to selling them 2 weeks out from each game
I assume by selling the GA passes as they do now, the AD sells out the GA lots for every game, and from the AD's perspective, that's what they want. And, of course, they can also say that if you want to tailgate, then donate, buy season tickets, and get your season parking pass.
This year's GA parking prices have kept me away from games. Loved tailgating in my donor days, and always bought GA parking for the 2-3 games a year we would attend once we gave up our season tickets. Now the team appears to be the best it has ever been, and I tailgate in my kitchen.
This maximizes the most money. When you have multiple November games and people decide to not come you lose that revenue.
