u doing charlottesville too?

Will skip DC for Charlottesville I think

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

I'm sure this will be a rockin' show but alas I'm skipping this one and doing Cville.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

DC locals, do you know if they typically extend the Metro hours for events at the arena? Booked my hotel in Arlington to save money and unless there's a hard 11 PM curfew, I'm thinking I might miss the last train and need to rely on an Uber/Lyft to get me back after the show.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Nah, my concert buddy lives in the DC area so I'm just gonna do a pop-in/out from Nashville. Also going up there on 12/31 to see the Capitals/Predators game. Gotta love those Southwest flight points!

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Its very rare, and unlikely for this show.

Plan on Uber.

Shouldnt be too $$$$ for an uber out to arlington.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Im rethinking skipping this one- I can walk out of work and into the show within 5 minutes.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Yeah, that's what I figured. Already priced a Lyft out the other night and it was like $10, so definitely beats the pants off staying downtown and then paying for valet parking (my room in Arlington with parking is like $111 versus it being like $250+ minimum otherwise).

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Use Uber/Lyft, drive or walk. Metro doesn't care about your rock shows.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

A big part of the reason why NYC > DC :p But I'll manage.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Mother stinkers, this AND C'Ville?

It's times like these I wish we were still in NoVA.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

walk to Arlington from Chinatown.... hehehehehe

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

or take a scooter.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Metro goes until 11:30 Mon-Thurs...the GP/Chinatown metro super close...as long as you leave when the lights come up you should be okay. Red to blue/orange/silver depending upon where your hotel lives. If not cabs, ubers, lyfts etc. Likely some surge pricing...uber pool might be a mitigative option.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Yeah, those shits are everywhere...

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

It's less than 5 miles. That's not bad at all.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Request is in
Just wish it wasn't a work night. Already burned up all my vacation time for the year.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

metro only keeps its doors open for stanley cup games and bigger acts.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

this is the correct answer for 2018

best thing is to figure out a good exit from you seat (close to to 7th) and book it for metro center. No switching from there to arlington + save a possible 15 minute wait at gallery place + avoid crowds + 4 minute walk

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Tempted but will probably only do Cville. Bet this one will be better than Cville N1 for some reason.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

This please!?! To make up for the Bristow fail this summer with the storm...

And that's only with a corporate sponsor. How it works (from what I understand) is someone sponsors the late night metro and puts up $100k (or close) in sponsorship and if the Metro makes enough money they pay the sponsor back.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Pretty much exactly what I was considering. Do you know if there a hard venue 11 PM curfew?

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

I wonder if they booked this show specifically to make up for Bristow. Because as I pointed out in the rumors thread it's a big norm departure for them not to be taking a day off in C'ville before the weekend.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

In Fall 2012, I and quite a few others did C-ville -> Baltimore. The Baltimore setlist did not have a single full song that wasn't played in C-ville. There were a couple of days of rest before Baltimore, but I would reckon that it will be nearly all repeats for anyone doing DC->C-ville.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

I don't think anyone would have expected Baltimore to have anything different from the C-ville shows.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

No idea sorry, doubt it though. More likely is acts try to end so people can make the train.

Be sure to check the "last X line train leaves from this station" they have posted at each place. Just because Metro closes at 12 or whatever doesn't mean there will be a train after 1140, etc.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Metro uses corporate sponsors to stay open late. Yeah the DC metro sucks.

If they wanted to make up for the Bristow fiasco they could have done better than a Thursday night in DC.

As a word of warning - lines to get into shows at the Verizon center have been crazy long due to security. Arrive early.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

Sounds like everyone got lowers for DC.

Re: ***Official Washington D.C. 2018 Thread***
 

I'm curious about what the grayed-out seats are on the WH seating map for Capital One Arena.

For that matter, some of the WH maps for other venues have similar grayed-out locations. Could these be their allotment of seats for each of these venues?
