Riot Fest 2022 (September 16-18, Chicago IL) Festival • Page 175

Are you parking in Cicero and taking the Pink line? I was thinking about doing that again if my wife wouldn't be able to drive me there.

 

Im still debating about Thursday doing FC or AOF. Probs I will go to AOF as possible conflcits with Movements or Menzingers at Riot

 

Right now that's my plan again. The only day it's tough is Sunday because of the Mexican Independence Day parade.

 

how close is that to the park?

 

Edit: I think I misunderstood - you were asking how close the parking is to the park. It's like 6 stops on the Pink Line - a little under 3 miles. The parade is on Cermak west of Cicero, and the parking lot is a half-block north of Cermak on the parade line.

 

I'm not going Saturday so seeing AOF Saturday night is kind of ideal.

 

If you're not worried about street parking, there usually is some available in the neighborhood in safe spots.

 

yeah looks like a 35 minute transit ride. what a headache. really wish they would figure out better parking situation there but i get it's out of there hands

 

That's the thing - there really is no other option for the area unless you contract with one of the railroads but that fell through, too.

 

Snagged AOF tickets right at 10. Easier than I expected. Just over $93 with fees

 

Also got my ticekt for AOF.
SDRE and AOF sounds like a good time for afttershow, alhough I might be dead by Sunday

 

Scooped Alexis tickets, hell yes.

 

It seems Thursday is sold out already

 

Fucked up, lost track of time, and wasn't able to snag a Trio ticket.

I was on at 11:02 and it was sold out by the time I got through the line.

 

Alkaline Trio, Jimmy Eat World, and The Academy Is/Midtown all sold out instantly.

Had no trouble getting two for The Maine.

 

i got a Ska Dream ticket for certain, and have a Jimmy Eat World ticket in my basket right now but havent purchased yet cuz lots to weigh - can i do 2 aftershows? will JEW even conflict with anyone else, (probably YYY who they would lose to, so it would be a bummer to miss jimmy)? But would i pay 54 bucks to see them in any other situation? Decisions decisions..

 

If anything you can sell them later I guess

 

Got TAI and Ska Dream. Have a PVRIS ticket in my cart, will be annoyed if I miss White Noise but will be annoyed if I hustle over there after MCR and get new stuff.

 

Wow no luck for Alkaline Trio or Jimmy Eat World. Surprising but oh well!

 

Not super worried about street parking from a safety angle. It's more that I feel like taking public transit if at all possible is a tiny way I can be a better attendee. One less car taking up parking space in the neighborhood is one less annoyance for the people that actually live there. I know that's like a "recycle your cans" level of difference, and no shade at anyone who drives/parks in the area, it's just the way I've always thought about it.

 

Metro/Etix releases in waves. Keep checking.

 

That's fair. We drive from across the city because it would take an hour or longer to get back each night.

 

Stoked for everyone who landed tickets!

 

AXS fucked up for me for midtown/TAI if anyone has an extra I’ll buy it from you immediately. I’m desperate.

 

Pvris is sold out too
