Almost party time in the ATL Can't wait!!!
Does anyone know if it's pretty safe to take the MARTA all the way back to the airport after the show? I figured yes, but thought I'd ask.
I don't think I'd make that walk back after the concert. In my experience, the area around the dome gets really deserted just a short distance away from the actual dome. Not a fun situation to be in.
Really? Hmm I guess I assumed there would be plenty of other people around walking back to downtown hotels. I think our hotel is right outside the Peachtree Center Marta stop, guess that would work if needed.
I can't believe the show is finally almost here!
Has anyone called Georgia Dome to find out where to line up or if they are allowing lines (last year, Phillips arena tried to clear the line out, which was frustrating)? Has anyone attended another concert and tried lining up earlier? If so, what were the results?

Hey, I'm looking to share a hotel room the day of the show. All I REALLY need is a place to put my bike during the concert (don't want to leave it at the Dome!) and maybe crash for a few hours after the show. I've got a GA ticket, so I won't be spending the day in the room or anything like that, but I'll split the cost equitably. Heck, I'll take floor space! }~
You see, I plan on riding my bicycle to the show - it's nearly 70 miles from where I live, but I am not totally insane. I'm going to have a friend drop me and my bike off in Rockmart, where I'll pick up the Silver Comet Trail (silvercometga.com) all the way to Smyrna (40 miles). From where the Trail ends, it's just 10 miles to the Dome. But I sure as hell don't want to leave my bike down there!
No, I don't run bike races or anything like that. Yes, I could get a ride all the way to Atlanta if I wanted to (and I will if it rains!) I just think it'd be fun to see if I COULD do it.
I know I don't get around Interference as much as I used to, but a few people around here might remember me. I don't drink or do drugs, but I do smoke cigs. Like I said, I just need a place to crash and keep my bike.
Thanks!

what's the general age of the people attending? I'm 19 and I have a feeling I'll be a baby at the show.
A few weeks ago i emailed the dome asking about how the GA line would be handled....(times....bathrooms?....etc..) and the person emailed quickly back and said they'd have the policy up on the website when it becomes available. since then i've seen nothing and i've emailed back 3 times to different people and no one's emailed me back.
Wish they'd post something soon.....we are planning on arriving around 3 am.

I'm 34 and attending with two other 34 yr olds. Don't worrying about being a baby for U2, I was 17 when I first saw them and it was a blast! Never too young!
I have a bike rack for my car, you put your bike on my car.
Goat,
I plan on parking in the red deck because it is the cheapest deck. I will be at the Dome at 2pm and will be in line for GA. Do you have GA or seat tickets?
