Parking is unavailable on most of the sites and outrageously overpriced on Stubhub. From about an hour ago:

@Spothero: Unfortunately we don't have information available about event parking for the Nats Wild Card game at this time. We will update listings as soon as possible. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@spothero.com with any questions!

Spothero is the biggest of the parking sites and they have not yet listed any passes for Tuesday. Meanwhile a number of fans are reporting that they have purchased Spothero passes by selecting the date and time instead of the event. My expectation is that Spothero is preparing to cancel all of the already purchased passes and is working with the sites to set price levels. They won't be cheap but at least they will be available.

None of Spothero, Parking Panda or Parkwhiz have parking listed yet for the event.  PP said the time hasn't been set. 

This is good news for us procrastinators, there will be a flood of tickets available perhaps tomorrow morning, just check back frequently and get a lot of choice.

Parking Panda had passes that sold out, I think that Parkwhiz did too. But I would not be surprised if they don't cancel the pass that I bought in order to resell it at a higher price. That's the one downside to these parking sites.

Maybe just local lots open everyday, I bet most, if not all of the Nats game specific lots will open for sale by 9 am.  Taking the missus so going to have to spring for premium.    :money:

Spothero didn't even have the "event" listed yet.

Metro just announced they won't stay open late. No word yet on whether they'll allow the team to find a sponsor to pay for it.

Parking next to the soccer stadium is $25. Walk is not too bad.

Thanks - I didn't see that one earlier. I hate paying a lot of money for parking so that might be the one I use. freak Metro for not staying open late.

I parked there for opening day 2018, never again for a crowded game, we were the last cars out, good thing we had our tailgate supplies left because it took two hours.

I used to park in that area all the time but not so much after the soccer stadium went up. Sometimes getting out was quick and easy and other times, like you mentioned, it was awful.

It's fine for a regular game but that might be the worst possible spot for a sell out. I picked the lot by the old church so I can get right on South Cap.

EDIT:

If you read it closely, it says they are prepared to open only one hour late, not as long as the games go on.

There was a lot of construction there in previous years. Has anyone parked there for a sellout this year, like Opening Day?

The problem when there was construction is you could not take a right out of the lot (toward Audi Field) and they routed you to the left and you got stuck. I'm assuming they will now let you out and go right now?

Well I was wrong, I was betting Spothero would unleash a flood of spaces in all their usual places, like the Skyline hotel for example, but nothing.  They had literally 1 space available when searching based on the game event.  I changed my query to a time range in the area and found a mispriced single space left - a block and a half up Half St from the park for $22.

I'm sure there will be cash lots and spots open, just show up before six.
