Havent paid much attention to this little option.

How exactly does one benefit by getting VIP Parking?

Early Entry?
Or just closer to the venue?

    Most of the time its just a bit closer to the venue, and supposedly you get out faster at the end of the night. I've used it at numerous places and most of them are fine if you get out there right when the show is over but I've also had problems with it before and wasted the extra money. Alpine from what I remember has pretty bad traffic getting out of the lot after a show so it would probably be worth it.

    More than likely it won't. But I've never used vip parking at Alpine so I'm not sure how it will work.

    The VIP lot is up close the venue. There is another exit close to the VIP lot that leads out to the same road as the resort, but I don't know if they open that right away or not.

    The traffic would be a really mess.

    There are road constructions all over Country Road D, right lane closed going to east until highway 120 intersection near resort and also going to west to delavan or elkhorn.

    i have vip for saturday, hoping the exit would be differente than the other lots. trying going east to H120 then enter to H11, then Spring Palms and then I43 to delavan day 1 and elkhorn day 2

    even from VIP parking, I don't expect to be able to get out of the parking lot quickly - we will just pull the chairs and food back out and have a reverse tailgate.

    I read somewhere that the lot opens at 9, 2 hours before the gates.

    Are you directed where to park? I have attended michigan international speedway on many occasions...the traffic here will not even be as close to as bad as it was at MIS 160 000 race fans getting out opposed to 35000 at the concert.
