weemz, you here?

i'm, uh, looking for parking for staples center tomorrow and saturday night.  i just got an e-mail that offered prepaid parking, but hot damn - $20.

is that my best bet for close, safe parking, or do you have recs?  it'll be me, the teen, and BFF and i don't want to be walking around at 11:00 downtown (although i'm sure we won't be alone).

Re: weemz, you here?

  • I actually don't have big problem walking downtown post-event at 11 p.m. these days.  It's pretty safe.  For close parking, your $20 ticket is probably the best you can do.

    Most of our friends just park on the street -- it's free after 8 p.m., and, even if you get there before 8 p.m., you certainly won't pay $20 to the meter.

    Alternatively, you can park in my underground parking space and walk from there since I'll be in San Diego.  If you want to go this route, let me know.  I'll just leave your name with security.  It's a farther walk if you're concerned about safety, but we do it all the time, and it's free.

  • Luckily, the neighborhood in 2009 is much better than it was in 2004!
  • I'll be in the are tomorrow night as well. Is $20 the avg price for Staples Center parking? I haven't been to an event there in a while.
  • seems like $20 is the average.

    i'm totally torn here.  i love the ease and convenience of the lot across from the venue, but free is a big draw...

  • Yesif I knew Weemz IRL and offered me free parking.. I would go with Free!
  • i'm cheap, and there's plenty of street parking to be had close enough.  last time, winnie and i were walking to our cars in the area after an american idol taping let out, and there are so many people milling about and the lights from LA live seriously light up the whole freakin' neighborhood, so we felt pretty safe. 
  • When I was there in March, most events ended around 10:30pm/11. My friend parked at a lot one block down and one block over (Olympic & Flower?). The rate was slightly cheaper, $10 or $15, and there were a lot of people around. It felt pretty safe.

  • There's a lot somewhere that is a few blocks away that's $10 that we usually park in. There are so many people walking back to cars that I never feel unsafe.
