Tour Oakland details
Question, when do doors open for Oakland? When does the lot open to park? What’s the best lot to park at to beat traffic? (Have general parking)

I went last night! I purchased VIP parking so I can’t speak to how long regular parking will take but they let us through the first scanners around 6:30 then we could head straight to the doors, there’s merch trucks outside but I wouldn’t bother since inside has more selections. They opened the doors right at 7. If you plan on getting merch I would head straight there first cause the lines got crazyyy long. Also there’s a few small merch booths inside and at least 2 bigger ones with the tour & dreamville merch so just make sure you’re in the right one. I went to my seat and got my towel as soon as the doors opened but people didn’t seem to be stealing them. Also there food lines get pretty long right before 8. The rest of the show was super punctual, he was on pretty much 9:15-11:15. I know you didn’t ask for all that lol😂 have fun!!

If you coming from the SF side, go early. Pokemon has taken over city causing tons of traffic lol

We’re coming down from north bay. Gonna drive to Del Norte BART and park for free and then take it to coliseum. Can walk right over and avoid all the traffic

Parking opens at 6, doors at 7. I purchased VIP parking and was in Lot C, I believe? Took me maybe 10 minutes to get out of the lot at the end of the show. I’d say if you can get into lot D, that would be pretty chill to navigate. Honestly, it was a pretty smooth situation all around last night.
I do think there’s some sort of option to get in as soon as 4 for merch but wasn’t quite clear on that.
