Had tix for 2020, didn't roll them over. No regrets; I never want to drive to or in Atlanta ever again.

I have to go to the wedding of a friend's daughter next year and I am almost certain that it's the same weekend as About Time/Sweetwater. No way in the world Vickie lets me off the hook for that wedding, she already told me

Thanks Vinnie.one nightI can't tell from the poster - is Oysterhead headlining 3 nights?
I can skip one night at a festival, but not 3.
I am considering this one. The price is right - $362 for GENERAL ADMISSION 3-DAY
"KUSH" WITH PREPARTY (What level is everyone buying?)
Airfares on Southwest are cheap - I ain't driving to Atlanta.
Hotels within walking distance are very pricey - anyone want to share a room?

Don’t forget the Marta. I was looking yesterday at the lines and gold/red stop is within half mile to park. Many options from there I assume. Didn’t actually do a hotel search yet.Thanks Vinnie.one night

That's a good suggestion - thanks. My limited experience with urban festivals is that close is the way to go. My short search on hotels within walking distance comes up with hotels that total more than the cost of airfare and festival combined.Don’t forget the Marta.

420 (or was it Shaky Knees?) has had some excellent lineups in the past that really tempted me, but the thought of paying downtown Atlanta prices for hotels has kept me away. Traveling for work alot, I would expect to pay minimum $250/night. That gets expensive fast.That's a good suggestion - thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. They are on my shit list after I tried to book accommodations twice and they never responded to my booking inquiry on their website.

From my recollection Buckhead has hotels and places to eat and drink and is on the MARTA.That's a good suggestion - thanks. My limited experience with urban festivals is that close is the way to go.

This one intrigues me, and I'll be retired by then. Not quite ready to commit, but seriously considering it.

I have wanted to go for years but never went. If a few of us went in on a place it may be an easier pill to swallow. I'll look into it after roosterwalk. Ca caw

I did find a Holiday In Express 0.4 miles from the Park (9 min walk)I have wanted to go for years but never went. If a few of us went in on a place it may be an easier pill to swallow. I'll look into it after roosterwalk. Ca caw
4 nights for 3 people for $752 ($250/pp) - I thought that was reasonable.
Or there is a Motel6 0.6 miles away for $616 ($205/pp)
Let me know what you find - and we need to find 1 to 2 more people that don't mind sharing with the animals...

I remember asking a friend I made at lockn, Kat, about hotel recs for atl for 420 since she is from the area. She suggested air bnb.
As much Sweetwater as I drink, they should at least comp my ticket.
