Yeah, kinda just looking for a way to get there from Bethesda
a neighbor is going, so I can get a ride back
I have emailed you privately about perhaps being a potential option for transporting you to MPP.
so with ticketmaster and live nation, they usually not always, have rerelease of tickets within a week of most shows . . . but I am assuming ticketfly does not do that.  I have scored great seats to sold out shows, a few days before, or day of shows.  I would like to go to the cure, and I even like Merriweather, although getting to Nissan is easier, for me and I have to accept that I could go to stub hub the day before and see.  then I would actually have to go, and maybe get a hotel room because its so far, and then when to get there and drinking and such.
I have three pit tickets for this show and can't go. The are $80 face, plus about $20 each in fees. I will move them to Ticket Exchange, but wanted to mention them here in case someone can use them. PM Me.
My third time missing The Cure. Seriously disappointed.

I've desperately tried to find anyone with decent tix. I pm'd you
jez 32 songs on 6.10 in Chicago!

this 11 PM curfew is really making me mad

I really hope the twilight sad goes on at 7 sharp so the cure can hit the stage at 8pm
but I fear TD will go on at 8 and the cure won't go on until 9 and we'll only get a 2hour 20 song set!!!

People always refer to this "curfew ," yet I've seen multiple shows go past 11 at MPP.

I'm calling urban legend.
I asked if there is a curfew or not.. I did not see an answer…

I have heard there is but am not sure.. but keep in mind the Cure could play as much as 35 songs if they had no time constraint and wanted to do so… I just can't see them being given that much time!

I seem to recall a band that had to stop playing but just can't recall who it was…

I know the twilight sad has been getting rave reviews but  I don't even understand why the Cure has an opener.. when a band is playing 35 songs they are their own opener…
they're playing an interesting set tonight…

just launched into M!
followed with Play for Today!



Merriweather has a curfew of 11pm at all times.

Since this is sold out, here's how to avoid the traffic…

Take 29 to 32 towards Clarksville.
Exit at the Sanner Road/Cedar Lane exit.
Take a right onto Cedar Lane
Follow Cedar Lane to Little Patuxent Parkway and take a Right. This will take you straight to Merriweather/the mall.

Option B:
From Cedar Lane, take a right onto Hickory Ridge Road.
Take a left onto Brokenland Parkway at the light
Take a right onto little patuxent parkway (you will be right there)

If you're coming from the North, you can do this as well. Just drive past the merriweather exit and the brokenland parkway exit.

The traffic was a mess last week for that other sold out concert of that band I've never heard of.

Where is this urban legend confirmed? As stated, I've seen multiple shows go past 11pm there, usually one specific band that does this.
i believe that the venue is fined.  some bands are willing to pay the fine.
I'm guessing it's Twilight Sad at 7 pm, and The Cure at 8

that would be awesome!
I had in my head that doors were at 7

but just checked
doors: 5:30 Show 7

(so with morrison and manzerk dead, I don't now if I'd get there that early to see just kriger/densmore ;)
Just out of curiosity, how much did each ticket for a reserved seat cost? I'm wondering how badly I'm being suckered for paying $150 each (really good seats though)
