First time in ATL and I just booked the Sonder on the south end of Midtown. $147/night all in. Seems like a cross between a hotel and an airbnb where you check in on your own with an app. Fingers crossed it works! Close to midtown and worst-case scenario it's a 30-min walk back after the show
I live a block from there, great restaurant across the street, Poor Calvin's. Easy walk; I'll be walking both nights.
Can anyone help me with my exit strategy from State Farm Arena please? We’ll have a 12 year old with us this trip so looking for the safest way to get out of there and back up to The Battery. Best to take the train with the crowd right away and take that as far as possible then uber from the station? Or maybe hang around one of the downtown hotels or restaurants until things quiet down and uber straight from there? Appreciate any help thanks!
Marta (the train) gets packed and can take awhile. I took it once after a show and said “never again”. Marta does not add any additional trains during events so you’re stuck with this massive demand on the reduced capacity night schedule (or it used to be this way).I haven’t actually Ride Shared post show from the arena but the latter plan you described sounds good.

Which day? April 29 also has Kendrick Lamar playing next door at Mercedes-Benz Stadium which means the night time crowd is going to be 3-4x more. I saw the Stones at the stadium in June and parked in a garage on the other size of Centennial park. By the time I got to the car (15-20 minutes) traffic had cleared up where driving wasn't a problem up to Sandy Springs.

Yeah, do a ride share. Walk towards the tabernacle/Waffle House area. Will be less crowded but still plenty of people.

This is good. But even better would be to keep walking that direction (north to northeast) another few blocks. And then call an Uber from there. Maybe one of the major downtown hotels (Grand Hyatt, etc.). Trying to get an Uber near the venue on Tuesday will probably make you commit federal crimes of some sort. Walking 20-25 minutes away is worth the effort.

This is a stupid question but I see people saying floor and general admission for ATL. Is there a difference? Also I haven’t had GA tickests for any show in 20yrs what’s it like down there nowadays?

GA is the standing only area in front of the stage. Floor is the seats behind GA. GA area is generally calm & friendly these days. We’re all getting old 😆
