Teams,
You
learn something new every day. I learned today, that there is a
finite number of pre-sale parking spots at Georgia Tech for events. I
have heard from several teams that when they try to pre-buy parking that
they are getting a message saying that parking is SOLD OUT for their
particular session. Georgia Tech's parking department is working to
add some inventory to the system, however, with school in session it is not
an infinite supply of spaces. However, don't panic, no need to get
Uber, there is parking available for all to come, it just will be at the
day of purchase rate of $15 per car. I apologize for any confusion and
extra work this may have caused for you, as I am certain you are getting
calls and e mails about his. However, like I said, you learn
something new every day. A general reminder about parking and the
process is listed below just as an FYI.
Just a
reminder that parking at Georgia Tech is unfortunately not free. This
includes coaches as well unfortunately, they will not receive a parking
pass. You can save a little money if you prepay for your
parking and get your pass in advance, please visit the following link https://gatech.clickandpark.com/ .
Parking is $12 per day for the event. Due to construction
around campus and the recent removal of one lane side of Tech Parkway, we
will likely be unable to provide the usual 1 parking pass per team, we have
a very limited number of parking passes for our meet staff and officials
compared to years past and unfortunately will not have leftovers for the
teams.
Please
only buy the day you need and make sure you select the correct day (Day 1
is Wednesday, Day 2 is Thursday, Day 3 is Friday, Day 4 is Saturday), no
one will need an All Day pass. The cost for the advance passes is
$12. If you do not prepay for parking you will need cash to
park, the cost is $15 at the gate. Please be sure to share this info
with your teams. A map to the area around the Aquatic Center can
be found at :

There will also be signs around the venue that will point you in the
direction of the lots for the meet.
Teams,
please be advised that barring a miracle, traffic is still bad in Atlanta.
Please advise your swimmers and families to build in a little extra
time to account for any delays.
