Hello guy

I have buy yesterday my ticket for Dolphins/Texans game, ……I am so happy this will be our first home game with my wife
(We had seen Dolphins/raiders in London too)

I need your help about 3 questions

1/ I have buy my tickets on Ticketmaster.com but this is the first time I use this website and now my tickets are in my Apple Phone Wallet..,,. Does I need to make another thing or simply coming to the stadium with my phone to entry to the game ? And does I need a network connection on my phone or wallet apple is the only must ?

2/ could you give me a safe link for buying a parking car place to park my rental car near to the stadium please……and does a reservation is a must or not if I came soon the Sunday morning + does it s possible to make a reservation for parking place now for the date of the game ?

3/ does there are Dolphins/Hurricanes merchandising shop at the stadium ?

Thanks to be helpful and sorry for my poor English but it s not an easy task to plan Dolphins home game from here in France 😉

it's about 3 o'clock in the morning here, so you will likely get some responses tomorrow!

bonne chance!
 
1/ As long as you have a scannable barcode you should be OK.

2/ I haven't been to the stadium since they renovated the campus for F1. I'm assuming there's still on-site parking... somewhere. You used to just drive off of the turnpike and follow the other cars going to parking. They used have everything arranged with traffic cones leading you to the parking area, and then you would give the parking attendant $20 and they would let you pass. Not sure how it works now.

3/ Not sure about Hurricanes, but there is definitely Dolphins stuff. If you want Hurricanes gear, there is a place next to Nova Southeastern University where the Dolphins used to practice. https://g.page/CanesWear

1. They use your phone and scan the bar code to get in or you could print the ticket and bring it.
2. There is paid parking around the stadium. It is different than it was in london where there is no parking at the stadium and everyone arrives by train. Here, you park at or around the stadium and pay the parking person. Then you pull out your chairs, beverages, and food and tailgate before the game for a couple of hours.
3. There is Dolphins merchandise outside and inside the stadium to purchase. I believe they only have the Hurricanes things on Cane gamedays.
 
Ok thanks precious informations for me
And fot the rally.co link , do yoi know if it s a safe use and a safe website ? Because that would be perhaps the best way to get to the stadium from south beach

If someone know another ransportation bus service compagnies on gameday feel free to give me informationds

You can also buy your tickets on a app called Tic Pic which, you can also buy parking passes to the stadium. You should download your tickets before the game and save the on your phone. You will need to make a ticketmaster dolphins account where you can download and save them to your wallet. They scan your ticket at the entrance.

Parking has gotten crazy with the Formula track there. Blue parking passes are associated with club tickets and pretty $$ second hand purchase. Orange parking is the next level and the lowest and further away is yellow. You can park offsite where they will shuttle you to the game. Last year I bought an Orange pass for $55 and a yellow for $50 (they wanted $90 for an orange). Plan to get there early. We are planning to be at the parking lot at 9am for the 1pm Christmas Game.

There are several merchandise locations at the stadium for the dolphins and the canes. There are locations inside and outside but again, with the Grand Prix that happened, I do not know how they are going to arrange the lot.

I am hopeful there are more interior lots this year as there will be less construction. I am planning on going to the first pre-season game so I can develop a plan for the other games I am going to.

I hope that helps and that you enjoy the day. Bring a cooler and have your adult beverages as you will pay $$$$ inside. Also, drink plenty of water as it can be quite warm.

I've never heard of the rally.co link. I live about an hour from the stadium so we drive and tailgate. If you have a rental car for the weekend, take that and go early and hang out after the game until the traffic clears. If rally doesn't work for you, you can always take uber to the game.

Sorry,

Just saw your second post. Which game are you going to. It might be best if you Uber to the game. It will save you some headaches. Depending on what you are doing, you can skip renting a car and Uber/Lyft/Taxi and save $ on rental and parking.

Parking was brutal last year with the construction from the Formula 1 track. I think I heard during the F1 tv footage that they will be taking down all of the F1 stuff except the track this year so parking should return to close to normal. At least I hope so!

I am going to the Texans game
My first idea was to take an Uber to get to the game, but after reading many comments, that seems difficult to found an uber for the return at the end of the game ?

Does there are an uber or licenced taxi station near the stadium ?

Uber pick up/drop off was about a mile from the stadium. Behind Walmart. Drop off was better because we just got out of the Uber when he got off the turnpike. Pick up was a nightmare. Like others have said, the F1 construction is done and parking will probably be better.

There is a bar not too far away (mile walk) from the stadium that others here in the forum have gone to. Getting out of the stadium whether you drive or Uber is going to be a nightmare. We usually tailgate after the game and wait for the traffic to die down. There was construction last year for F1 but they are not dismantling the track as the race is here to stay. The best would be to stay tuned and see what other fans talk about. If you like to have adult beverages and don't want to be concerned about driving, then ride share is the best way to go.
