[gaaaaaaaaah]

i use the side street (i think its 8th st) past the alley the tour buses use. always plenty of free spots there, but i guess it depends on the show and how early you get there.

I believe this is what I'll do versus paying $20 (or more) across the street.

Thanks.

Sort of ironic as it has gotten a lot safer to walk down the back streets near the club the spots seem to be filled up pretty quickly.  When i skip the openers I end paying to park in a lot on 8th street and pay the guy 20 bucks.  I have gotten a ticket on V street at the meters after the time that you don't need to pay anymore.  And I refused to pay.  They put in on my credit report but I wrote to the credit report companies and had it removed.  DC is such a fun place to visit.  I don't know how many time I have gotten bogus parking tickets which I have never paid.

I guess if you have an expensive car with Maryland tags on it they just give you a ticket figuring you will just pay it.  I have never parked anywhere that it wasn't legal to park.

I have a decent car with Maryland tags.  No parking tickets either and I have been going to DC from MD for shows since 2002.  I do check and double check where I park though.

Define Decent.

Accord with all the extras!  (though i do realize there are millions of accords around, and the parking person probably wouldnt go inspect it to see that it has leather and a V6 or care at all)

don't let the secret out...I've parked there easily 50 times and never towed/ticketed
but now that it's out on the internets...that is sure to end

Don't they have signs that tell you not to park there?

they probably do and that is why there are always so many spots. 
I may not be able to land any tickets for shows, but damn if I can get some free parking. 

[i am gay and i like cats]

i just buy my ticket and pay for it.

i just buy my parking ticket and pay for it.

Just note that the street parking rules have changed in recent months.  Spots that were available for years are now zone-whatever-only and have time restrictions late into the evening.
