While the official policy remains the same, the idea of a traffic jam backing up 20 miles from the entrance at night with tickets all sold out tends to suggest that gates may open early again.  There have already been some rumors to that effect… Of course, that’s not official policy!  J

(Don’t worry, there will be a way to reach the Green Zone without driving through anyone.)  Remember, once parked, don’t plan on moving until you’re ready to leave.  People who plan on leaving Saturday night/Sunday morning need to make sure that they’re not parked in.
