I'll be in Durham Friday night, and am hoping to take my daughter to the game vs Dallas. Plans are still up in the air, though.
Is it pretty easy to snag tix at the last minute? And does everyone generally park at the arena or are there other places available?
I'm assuming parking runs $10-$15
Tickets - To say it is a buyer's market is an understatement. The other day, some of our STHs were bemoaning the fact that there are times when they literally can't give away their unused tickets. Most of the scalpers don't bother coming out anymore, but there are always a few people in the parking lot trying to unload tickets right before the game. Give them a try, or hop on StubHub. You can certainly make it a game-time decision.
Parking - I haven't parked in the arena lot without a pass in years, but normally the lot across Trinity Road from the arena is $10 (I think). Having said that, I haven't been charged for it yet this year. Could have something to do with the fact that the State Fair just finished up, and they use that lot too. I can't really say for sure what they'll be doing tomorrow, but if you'd rather not take the chance, I'd suggest parking at the business park on Wade Park Blvd. From there, you walk down the hill, follow the sidewalk to a tunnel under Edwards Mill Rd., and come out of the tunnel approaching the back side of the arena.
