I really think I should be able to help you with this cause I live in Santiago, but I haven't been at the venue so I don't know the surrounding area. My partner and I have not discussed yet on how to get there, but I think taking a cab should be OK. They are black and yellow, and it's safe to hail them on the street.

I guess one could algo see on Google maps which bus ("micros") options are there to and/or from your specific hotel. Google works nicely together with the public transportation system in Santiago (Transantiago), so it should be easy. BUT, if you plan to use micros here, you need a bip! card, which you can get at any Metro station, or at some stores with the bip! sign. This is how it looks like: https://www.google.cl/search?q=tarjeta+bip&espv=2&biw=1920&bih=947&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIr8P4i6nmyAIVhICQCh1h5gTM&dpr=1

The bip! card also works for the subway, but it's gonna be closed after the show, for sure. If you want to use the subway/metro while in the city, you can also buy tickets, but be careful because there are different fees during the day. You should check the timetables at the ticket office and ask for the ones you will need. I would advice buying your own bip! card or one for the group you are gonna be in.

Well, that's my two cents. I was waiting for someone who knew the area better to post, but I guess it's better to have an overall idea than nothing!

Cheers everyone, and I hope you have a great time here
