it may not be sacramento's special event. Within NoCal they routinely truck cars to other events. Cars in SAC could easily end up at LAX, San Jose, Reno, SNA, Oakland, or SFO. The yield model would routinely raise prices to slow reservations in other areas to build up inventory, for which would be transferred to other locations.
During the Avis San jose Strike over 4th of july weekend 2005, we received 10 trucks of cars from reno, several from Sac, LAX. Most of the cars that I cleaned as a manager were from Reno.
