While I agree that some traffic is to be expected......it is quite ridiculous to have to sit in traffic for almost 2 hours for an event. I have been attending concerts for over 25 years and I have dealt with a lot of crappy stuff.....but this was definitely the worst. For smaller crowds, Merriweather is probably a great place to see concerts.....but it is not designed to stage shows of the Daughtry/Nickelback magnitude. There is insufficient parking and routes to the venue.
As far as ticket prices...that is really irrelevant....but.....I did pay top dollar for my tickets and was in the pit......but after the ordeal we went through it was not worth the aggravation to stay.
Again....no disrespect to anyone...just think that Merriweather was not prepared or equipped for this size event.
Politely Disagree
