As we drove past the enormous Cavalia big top the other day, the obvious question sprang to our mind: Where the heck are people who go to see this show gonna park? Apparently, that question hasn't yet been answered, KTRK reports:
The trouble started when the parking lots near Post Oak and Richmond designated for the show filled up. Guests say the parking attendants took their money and directed them into a different parking lot across the street at Best Buy."We paid $8 through the circus. We paid $8 to them and they said, 'Park across the street. Our parking lot's full,'" said Ashley Frederick, who had her car towed. "We get here. We park here. We enjoy the show. We come outside and our car is towed along with the worker who was working there got towed, as well as employees of Best Buy."
The cost was almost $200 to get their car back. Some people were able to get some assistance and get their cars back for free, but we're still tracking what happened to all 40 to 50 cars that were towed. Best Buy says it did not call anyone to have the cars towed.
Cavalia officials said the show's designated parking lots weren't actually full and they don't know why people were told to park at Best Buy. Anyone who had to pay to get his or her car back can call the Cavalia box office for reimbursement. But still, if Best Buy didn't call to have the cars towed, who did? Chick-fil-A? (We also noticed the picture of a sign that's presumably in the Best Buy parking lot informing people that parking for Cavalia isn't allowed there. Oops!)
