You pay at the gate, per person, and an additional $5 per car if you take in your own snacks or drinks. We arrived last Friday at 7:30 and there were cars in line. They opened about 7:50 to accommodate. We got a good spot, but it was crowded and those who came late were observed driving around having difficulty finding a spot. A suggestion, if you have a newer car or plan to open a hatchback, figure out ahead of time how to disable the interior lights while the accessories are turned on (for the radio broadcast) or you may have a dead battery after the double-feature!
It's first come first serve. Gates open at 8 we normally show up at 8:30 and there's plenty of room.
