About this show
This is the added second LA night. SoFi Stadium announced October 24 on July 27, 2026, describing it as a second Los Angeles show added "due to unprecedented demand" after the originally announced Friday, October 23 date - and after JAY-Z's sold-out three-night run at Yankee Stadium broke that venue's all-time concert attendance record on all three nights.
A Saturday-night 8:00 PM show is the better of the two dates for a San Diego group: no Friday rush-hour penalty on the way up, and no work the next morning after a show that ends near midnight. It is also the natural weekend pairing for out-of-town fans - base in San Diego (beach, Gaslamp, better hotel value than Inglewood), then take a door-to-door round trip up to SoFi and back the same night. No LA hotel, no parking app, no post-show drive.

The parking math - drive yourself vs. one flat rate
SoFi Stadium parking is prepaid, mobile-only, and zone-locked - there are no day-of parking sales at the gate. Published event zone passes run roughly $40-$80 prepaid depending on zone, with single-event close-in passes commonly listed at $80-$100 on resale and official channels. Add fuel for a ~250-mile round trip from San Diego (roughly $40-$70 depending on vehicle), plus the post-show lot egress that routinely takes 45-90 minutes before you are even back on the 405.
| Option | Cash cost (group of 5) | Per seat | What you still deal with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drive yourself | ~$80 parking + ~$40-$70 fuel | ~$25-$30 | 5+ hours behind the wheel, lot walk, 45-90-min lot egress, designated driver, home past 2 AM |
| EGT Escalade IQ-L (5 seats) | $400 flat round trip | $80 | Nothing - curb drop, staged driver, exit on your schedule |
| EGT Rivian R1S (4 seats) | $350 flat round trip | $88 | Nothing — premium EV SUV, staged driver |
| EGT BMW i7 (2 seats) | $300 flat round trip | $150 | Nothing |
For a full group, the per-seat premium over self-driving is roughly the cost of stadium parking itself - and nobody in your party drives 250 miles or sits in the lot queue after the encore.

San Diego to SoFi — every option honestly compared
There are really five ways to cover the 125 miles from San Diego to JAY-Z 30 at SoFi Stadium on October 24, 2026. Here is the fair version — what each actually costs from San Diego, and where each one genuinely wins.
| Option | Real cost from San Diego | The honest trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Drive & park yourself | ~$80 prepaid zone pass + ~$40–$70 fuel | Cheapest on paper — but someone in your party gives up the night to drive 250 miles and sit the 45–90-minute lot egress after an 8:00 PM show. |
| Uber / Lyft | ~$130–$220+ each way; post-show surge is the worst of the night | Fine for a short local hop. From San Diego you pay it twice and gamble on a surged, hard-to-find pickup inside a 70,000-person exodus near midnight. |
| Amtrak / Metrolink + Metro K Line | ~$40–$80 round trip per person, plus transfers | Cheapest for a solo fan on paper — but with an 8:00 PM start the last southbound trains are gone well before the encore, so this is realistically a one-way option plus an LA hotel. |
| Drive up + LA hotel + park | ~$250–$450 hotel + parking + fuel | Worth it only if you already wanted an LA weekend. Otherwise it is the most expensive way to see one show. |
| EGT — BMW i7 (2) / Rivian R1S (4) / Escalade IQ-L (5) | $300 / $350 / $400 flat round trip — no surge, no parking | Door-to-curb both ways in an all-electric BMW i7, Rivian R1S or Cadillac Escalade IQ-L, driver staged through the show, you leave when you want. Nothing else to manage. |
Being straight about it: if you are travelling solo on the tightest budget and are willing to stay over in LA, the train is cheaper, and if you are already staying in LA, driving up is moot. For everyone else — couples, a group of friends, and out-of-town fans basing in San Diego — EGT is the best answer. One flat price locked at booking, a professional named driver, zero parking app, zero surge, and nobody in your party driving 125 miles home after midnight. At $80 per seat in the Escalade, a chauffeured all-electric round trip lands near the price of stadium parking alone.

Show-day plan from San Diego
For an 8:00 PM Saturday start, plan to leave San Diego between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. Saturday northbound traffic is kinder than Friday, but the final Inglewood approach around SoFi still compresses badly in the last hour before doors, and a two-night stand means the second night's arrival wave behaves like the first. Your driver tracks live traffic and confirms the pickup time with you the day before.
Coming home, the smart move is to let the first wave clear: your EGT driver is already staged, so you walk to the curb on your schedule rather than crawling out of a parking structure with 70,000 other people at midnight. See when to leave San Diego for a SoFi event for the full timing logic.
Show start times can shift by tour or venue - EGT confirms the adjusted pickup time with every booked guest directly.
