Did this for a dead show last year and it was amazing. They let the bus cut all the traffic leaving on the way out.

There’s a couple other bus services too. Highly recommend.

The fact you’re trying to do this for a Bret Michaels show is HILARIOUS

The tickets were bought by a friend…we’re pretty sure its gonna suck but committed to going already. I imagine Bret will sound find, but everyone else on the bill……

Bro just take some weed gummies before going in you’ll be fine. You’re not gonna wanna be drinking a lot in the crowd the bathroom lines will be absolutely insane and annoying once you break the seal. It also costs a stupid amount of money to drink there + the tailgating will be incredibly sad

jamesland7 t1_j9zkylz wrote

Correct. Planning to take weed, but its still a dui if i drive high. So looks like ill just stay sober. All is well

They don’t post every concert early, just the big obvious ones. Most of these rides get organized a few weeks out. Pretty sure there’s at least a couple busses leaving Boston to every show at xfinity so you should be good.

And yes, lol @ Brett Michaels. The need to get sloppy is now clear.

Lyft.

jamesland7 t1_j9wm6ms wrote

Probably like $100 after concerts back to Boston id think, no?

Crunch the numbers on what a DUI will run you. I promise $100 is a sweet deal.

jamesland7 t1_j9x564h wrote

Yeah, this might shock you, but driving under the influence isn’t really one of the options in play here

snarksonaplane t1_j9xgwv0 wrote

I mean, your options are pretty much Lyft/Uber or hotel? I’m not sure what magic answer you’re looking for but I went to a few shows last summer, did some research and those were the only options I could find aside from someone being DD.

You could Lyft to/from a commuter rail stop.

SkiingAway t1_j9wxbpd wrote

If you want to wait until 5AM for a train, sure. Commuter rail's not running by the time a show lets out. Last inbound on the Providence line hits Mansfield station at 10:45PM on weekdays, 9:59PM on weekends.

Or you could just not get trashed?

BsFan t1_j9wxp6q wrote

Would you rather this person just drive drunk instead? Fuck him for asking for safe options right?

Wtf_is_this1234 t1_j9wxwt3 wrote

I proposed a safe option. Obviously alcoholics don't like hearing it, hence all the downvotes.

CraigInDaVille t1_j9wzoq3 wrote

Yeah, I don't get the downvote hate either. OP seems to want to get fucking wrecked and have a simple, cheap, and easy solution delivered to them for getting home while blitzed. Any sensible suggestion gets snark, apparently.

Not sure of your budget, but there is a Fairfield Inn & Suites less than a mile away that you can Uber/taxi to and from.

jamesland7 t1_j9x5209 wrote

Good option, but doggo cant stay home alone all night. Thanks though :)

avsavsavs t1_j9y33r9 wrote

maybe a friend will stay the night at ur place while u stay the night near the show? i do this for my friend (and their pup)

Why can’t an animal stay home for 8 hours just cuz it’s night time? You do realize you do the same thing when you leave for work right? Food + water + access to outside and they don’t need you. Relax weirdo, a dog is not a human baby. No matter how much you treat it like so.

STD_Train t1_j9ys9vw wrote

Not many apartments in Boston have outside access for dogs to go by themselves. Why are you so angry that OP treats his dog well. I left my dog for 2-3 hours and when I got back she was super anxious

voidedrealms t1_j9zj6md wrote

So what do you do when you go to work for 8 hours if your anxiety ridden dog can’t even last 2 hours lol. Thing is worse than a baby. Dog people are the worst hahahah it’s a fucking dog bro. Not a special needs baby. Relax

STD_Train t1_j9zjhli wrote

Ever heard of WFH? Imagine hating dogs lmao, I’d rather have a dog than a crying baby.

George_GeorgeGlass t1_j9zd9dc wrote

Because OP is weighing these options against drunk driving. And anything is better than that. Dog can manage 8 hours. Dog will be worse off if OP gets in an accident or ends up in jail. Never mind the other people on the road they’re putting at risk

STD_Train t1_j9zjnf0 wrote

Nah, OP says in the post they would choose a DD. If that’s the case then obviously find a dog sitter

voidedrealms t1_j9zja63 wrote

What do you do when you sleep for 6-8 hours? Wake up every hour?

STD_Train t1_j9zlf9i wrote

Nah, they’re fine when they’re with you. Also you should try betterhelp

Ohio_MassLaxPhan t1_j9yho1e wrote

Maybe pay for a dogsitter? All the options available have been shared, either pay the cost or one of you will need to take it easy.

Reading all of this has somehow dampened my enthusiasm for going to concerts.

DarkMetroid567 t1_j9yqtx1 wrote

This is how it is for most of the country; unfortunately that’s where a lot of the drunk driving comes from too

-ItsCasual- t1_j9ykoma wrote

Uber, Lyft, taxi, car service, or stay at a hotel/motel near the arena. There are plenty of options.

Mansfield commuter rail?

arewedunnyet t1_j9wy3lw wrote

Good suggestion, but the last train inbound is likely too early if OP is staying for the whole show.

Use a car service to and from!

Wtf_is_this1234 t1_j9yfzzp wrote

OP is bitching about $100 on lyft. He probably spends more than that on weed lol

MommaGuy t1_j9zajlq wrote

Hire a car service. Yes it’s expensive but cheaper than a DUI.
