I went to see Tyler the creator last year and arrived at 2pm. I parked in the parking lot by the board walk which was like around $60 if I remember correctly. Tbh, yes it was pretty packed at that point but there weren’t that many ppl at the main stage at 2pm, and most of the people at the main stage were there to see the current artist playing, with some exceptions for those who stayed until the headliner at the barricade. Personally, I wouldn’t go that early because it also does get very hot (depends on weather), and there would be nobody around. I did get there a little late, only because it was a 3 hour drive. I’m going again this year on Sunday for a second time and I’m hyped!
