Chimera - lol. on sat night, you're prolly lookin' at 100,000 peeps exiting the venue all at once. imagine the cluster f**k. you will eventually get a cab, but it will take you 30 min's min and prolly more like 45 min. the farther you walk from the venue, the greater likelihood you'll find a cab.

if you can round up a big crew, hire a limo service. that way they're waiting for you and you can sit in comfort sipping free water while your foolio friends who got separated are taking the scenic route back 2 ur meeting point.

just to clarify - there is no taxi line outside the venue. you just have to walk down the major streets and hail a cab. it's time consuming, but eventually you'll find one.

ah ok

From my experiences more girls = quicker taxi. Thats why this year we are enjoying the amenities at the Vagabond Inn at USC

If you don't mind leaving 30 mins early, then you should go ahead and do that to grab a taxi. Leaving at the same time as everyone will make it much harder to get a taxi.

it also helps not to be totally fucked up on drugs when trying to hail a taxi. one taxi driver pretty much hit the gas when he saw my ass coming for his car grinding my teeth like there was no tomorrow

but if you're sober just walk a little ways down figueroa and you'll find cabs. but last year it was pretty insane with every one leaving at the same time. expect spend some time walking/waiting

Where are the afterparties?

and

Who's down to avoid the cluster and get limo service?

I just saw on Ticketmaster's website that 2-day VIP tickets went up $50 bucks , but I was able to scoop up the tickets on Groove Tickets for $266. Does anyone remember what time they opened will call last year and if there was a separate will call for VIP ticket holders?

VIP and GA will call is the same place. Will call is fast. Just show them ur DL and CC. no drama. Smooth.

Last year I got to will call right when they were opening up which was 4PM, line was super fast. Most ppl didn't make it there till 7 or 8. So if you get to will call by 2 i would think you will literally walk in.
