Is there public transportation?
SunTrust Park and The Battery Atlanta are served by CobbLinc, MARTA and the new Cumberland Circulator, but note: CobbLinc does not run on Sundays. Click here for more information.
I'm taking a taxi/Uber/Lyft - help!
The new Uber Zone is located along Windy Ridge Parkway, just steps from the ballpark allowing an easy pick-up and drop-off. Uber riders and drivers will also benefit from a new technology that makes the pick-up experience faster and more efficient at SunTrust Park. As usual, riders will head to the Uber Zone, open their Uber app, request a car and set their destination. Instead of having to navigate to find a specific car and driver, riders will see a personalized PIN code in their app and can simply give it to the next available driver in the Uber Zone.

What will they play?
Judging by recent setlists, you'll hear most of their well-known songs (The Unforgiven, One, Master of Puppets, For Whom the Bell Tolls) and a lot of stuff from their latest album Hardwired...to Self-Destruct. If you haven't heard the album, you actually get a copy of it with your ticket. Fans should have received information from Warner Music Artist Services on how to redeem their albums within 14 business days after their ticket purchase, so you've had time to familiarize yourself with it. It's not yet clear on how fans buying tickets the day of the show will get their albums.
Will beer and/or other alcohol be sold? Is there a cut-off time?
Yes, alcohol will be sold. Cut-off time is 10:30 pm.
Is tailgating allowed?
No
Fun fact: A Metallica pop-up store will be open for you to get official merchandise before the show. It'll be located at Atlantic Station.
