I live in Jersey but work in Philly. I am driving in around 3, and parking in Old City at the Ritz parking garage. Its a safe neighborhood with 24hr parking, and will probably be pretty empty on a Sunday night. Then we are grabbing a good beer at Eulogy before being stuck with InBev's menu, and grabbing a cab. Feel free to join us for a Belgian before some Run DMC!
I'll second this parking recommendation. Old City's a nice walk too.
Lot on Arch around 21st. $15 all day. Guy said it wasn't crowded yesterday.
Damn, i should have drove around more instead of paying $25 :fp:
Also someone on here mentioned one for $10 on 15th and callowhill.

Probably driving in a few hours early and just finding the closest lot possible. Only need to e in there by 8 or so to get in, find a spot and grab a beer before the set.
OK, so different but related question...if you're staying at the Best Western Center City which is within the festival grounds at least street-closing wise, how are we supposed to get into the parking lot? :roll: :?:
I would just make sure to have a print out of your hotel reservation info., then you should be able to get into the closed off area to get to your hotel. I would think...
Had my reservation printed off and ready to show but the Philly cops were actually really nice. Just had to go down to 20th and take a left (which apparently isn't a legal turn, but no one stopped me), then a left onto Hamilton. MUCH easier than I anticipated

decided not to drive thru center city - although it seems there wasn't much of an issue. I did take the shuttle from the Mann and it went supper smooth. Back at the car by 11:30!
well organized festival, Philly / Jay-Z
oh, round trip was $3.10

Also, what time is everyone getting there? I want to get a good spot up front for PJ, but don't want to be standing there all day.
