About this show
Guns N' Roses bring the same run that plays Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego on September 2 up to the Rose Bowl three nights later, with Ice Cube opening. If you missed the San Diego date, or want the bigger room, this is the one - a 90,000-capacity stadium on a Saturday with a Los Angeles crowd. Doors are listed at 6:25 PM; with an opener, expect the headliner to walk on well after dark and the night to end close to midnight.
Date, venue and 6:25 PM doors per the Songkick event listing (Rose Bowl Stadium, 1001 Rose Bowl Dr., Pasadena). Set times are published by the venue closer to the date. Checked .
One price, any car
This lane is priced differently from our SoFi runs on purpose. The Rose Bowl is a longer day - further north, a harder approach through Pasadena's residential streets, and a slower exit - so the vehicle is the same commitment for us whichever one you pick. $500 flat, round trip, any vehicle. Fill the Escalade IQ-L with six and it is about $83 a seat; two people in the BMW i7 pay the same $500 and get the best back seat in San Diego for 260 miles.
| Vehicle | Seats | Round trip | Per seat, full |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cadillac Escalade IQ-L | up to 6 | $500 | ~$83 |
| Rivian R1S | up to 4 | $500 | $125 |
| BMW i7 xDrive60 | 2 | $500 | $250 |
Included: pickup anywhere in metro San Diego, the drive both ways, the driver staged at the stadium through the show, gratuity. Not included: nothing. No surge, no parking, no fuel line, no waiting-time meter.
San Diego to the Rose Bowl — every option honestly compared
| Option | Real cost from San Diego | The honest trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Drive & park yourself | Rose Bowl event parking + ~$45–$75 fuel for ~260 miles | Cheapest on paper. Someone gives up the night to drive, parks on a golf-course lot, and sits an egress that regularly runs an hour-plus before reaching the 210 - then drives two hours home after midnight. |
| Uber / Lyft | ~$150–$250+ each way; surge after the encore | You pay it twice and gamble on a pickup inside a 90,000-person exodus on residential Pasadena streets with limited rideshare staging. |
| Amtrak / Metrolink + Gold Line | ~$45–$90 round trip per person plus transfers and a shuttle or walk from Memorial Park | Workable northbound. Southbound, the last trains to San Diego leave before a stadium show ends on a Saturday - realistically one-way plus an LA hotel. |
| Drive up + Pasadena hotel | ~$250–$450 hotel + parking + fuel | Only if you wanted an LA weekend anyway. |
| EGT — any vehicle | $500 flat round trip — no surge, no parking | Door-to-curb both ways in an all-electric BMW i7, Rivian R1S or Escalade IQ-L, driver staged through the show, you leave when you want. |
Being straight about it: a solo fan on a budget who is happy to stay in LA will spend less on the train. For a couple, a group of friends, or anyone who wants to be home in their own bed in San Diego after the encore, EGT is the best answer - one number, locked at booking, and nobody in your party driving the 5 at 1 AM.

Show-day plan from San Diego
Doors at 6:25 PM on a Saturday means leaving San Diego between 1:30 and 2:30 PM. The 5 north is steady on a Saturday afternoon, the 605 / 210 interchange is where it slows, and the last two miles into the Arroyo Seco lots are the part everyone underestimates - Pasadena routes event traffic through neighborhood streets with police-directed intersections. Arriving early is not wasted: the Rose Bowl lots are a tailgate scene and the stadium sits in a park.
Coming home, your driver is staged, so you walk out on your own schedule instead of sitting in the golf-course lot queue. Expect to be back in San Diego roughly two to two and a half hours after you leave the curb.
Set times shift. EGT confirms the adjusted pickup time with every booked guest directly.
One round trip per vehicle - then it's a cancellation list
$500 flat, any vehicle, round trip from anywhere in metro San Diego. September 5 is also SDSU's home opener at Snapdragon, so the fleet is spoken for in two directions that day. First-come, first-served.
