Two Parking Prices at One Gate
The Florida State Fairgrounds prints two parking prices for the 67th Annual Gem, Mineral and Jewelry Show. The event page reads $10 online and $12 onsite. The venue ticket portal sells the same access under the product title Gem & Mineral - Parking Only, dated November 7 and 8, at $10.00.
Every November product on that portal prices general parking at $10.00. The Fall RV Show adds an $18.00 oversized-vehicle line. The $12 figure sits on no cart.
What the Ticket Line Prints
Admission runs three tiers. Adults pay $8. Seniors and military personnel pay $7 with identification. Children enter free below a stated age.
The page gives two ages. The description reads kids 12 and under enter for free. The cost block beneath it reads Kids under 12 are FREE. A twelve year old sits inside one line and outside the other. Print both and confirm at the gate.
Two Days, Two Clocks
Saturday November 7 runs 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday November 8 runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sixteen hours of hall time across the weekend.
The show sits in the Special Events Center. The entrance is MLK Blvd, Gate 3.
The Prepaid Product, Read Exactly
The portal banner states Parking does not include Event Entry, and Each Ticket Is Good For One Parking Entry. The terms read not refundable, not transferable, no rainchecks, all sales final. The same banner states that all convenience fees are included in the price under the FTC Junk Fees Rule.
The Gem & Mineral product carries one price line. Other events on the portal offer a multi-entry ticket at an upgraded price. This one offers $10.00 general parking with no variant beside it.
A two-day visitor who buys once holds one entry. A Saturday exit and a Sunday return takes a second purchase, so that pattern prices at $20.00 for the lot.
What the Show Holds Inside
The Tampa Bay Mineral and Science Club presents the show. The venue page counts over 60 vendors across slabs, cabochons, beads, gemstones and finished jewelry. The floor carries a kids area with a sluice, a rock identification touch table, a mineral ID booth and a scavenger hunt. The building is indoor and air conditioned.
Where the Room Ask Belongs
The event page publishes no room rate. Its partner list names seven properties and prints no dollar figure for any of them. The distance field is the one property-level number the venue gives.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tampa Fairgrounds Casino reads 0.2 miles and describes itself as directly across the street from the Fairgrounds. Wyndham Garden Tampa Fairgrounds/Casino reads 1.5 miles. Staybridge Suites Tampa-Brandon reads 2.7. Hilton Garden Inn Tampa East Brandon reads 2.8. Courtyard Tampa Brandon reads 4.4. Cambria Hotel Tampa-Brandon reads 5. Hampton Inn & Suites Tampa East reads 5.0.
A room at the 0.2 mile property removes the lot from the weekend budget. Two nights there carry no $20 lot charge and no second entry purchase. Put that saving in front of the property sales office first.
The Camping Line
The venue runs on-site camping for area events. Its page states event camping is open for all Fairgrounds and area events with the exception of the annual Florida State Fair. Reservations require a minimum of 48 hours notice and payment online in advance. No nightly rate is printed.
The 48-hour notice falls before the show opens on November 7.
Four Products for One Weekend
The parking portal lists four products dated November 7 or 8. Fall RV Show runs November 5 to 8 through US Highway 301 at $10.00, with an $18.00 oversized-vehicle line. Repticon runs November 7 and 8 through Highway 301 at $10.00. Gem & Mineral runs November 7 and 8 through MLK at $10.00. Spirit Clash runs November 8 through US Highway 301 at $10.00.
The gem show is the one product of the four routed to MLK. Four events share the grounds on Sunday. Prepaying fixes the price at $10.00 and settles the entry before the drive.
What the Ask Contains
Send three lines to the property. The dates are November 6 and 7 for a Saturday arrival, or November 7 and 8 for a Sunday arrival. The room count is the second line. The parking term is the third.
Ask for a rate that holds the Saturday night and a checkout after the 6 p.m. close. Ask for the parking term in writing beside the room rate.
The Florida Restriction
hotelhaggle.org cannot take this request. The seller of travel page, last updated October 21, 2026, lists Florida among four states where the platform cannot process hotel booking requests from residents of or for travel to that state. The page records the status as not currently registered as a Florida Seller of Travel and cites Chapter 559, Florida Statutes. The restriction covers grouprooms.org, hotelhaggle.org, hotelslots.org, bookmyteam.org and partners.hotelhuddle.com.
The room ask goes to the property sales office. Questions on the restriction route to compliance@hotelhuddle.com.
Where the Weekend Money Sits
The gate line holds at $8, $7 and free. The lot carries a $2 spread and a one-entry rule. No source on this row prices a room. The $2 lot spread is the first measured number in the conversation.
