If it actually moves to SeatGeek I wonder if they will offer refunds? I didn't buy in the presale but I'd imagine some people who did would not want to schlep out to Bridgeview for three days.

I find it odd that they don't mention Douglas Park in the email so I believe the venue change rumor.

That is going to suck shit if they move it there. Even though I live in the suburbs, it will still take me longer to drive down there than to Douglass. Plus I'll have to pay $25 or 30 or whatever each day just to park. God this is going to suck I think I paid $40 to park at Sacred Rose. |

But I would much rather take the train to and from the fest like always |

How easy is it to get to SeatGeek if you like don't have a car and are using either transit or Uber/Lyft from downtown?

If it actually moves (which I'm skeptical since Douglass Park is still listed on the festival website) I would assume Riot Fest would offer shuttle passes from the city like Sacred Rose did a few years ago. |

I'm not even joking when I say this- it's really fuckin difficult, and might not be worth going. Definitely wouldn't be worth staying in the city proper- probably best to be over by Midway and lyft, or possibly the southern burbs. |

How easy is it to get to SeatGeek if you like don't have a car and are using either transit or Uber/Lyft from downtown? for public transit, it's basically taking an orange line to midway and then picking up a pace bus. it's at least an hour. definitely would be easier to stay around midway or even the hampton inn across the street. |

Oof...I really hope that speculation is wrong about the move then. Fingers crossed.

May book a refundable room at that Hampton inn now, justtttt in case. |

Does that feel like a confirmation, or is that typically a hotel that would be sold out three months in advance for other reasons? |

Red Stars are currently slated to host San Diego at Seatgeek Saturday of Riot Fest. So that would have to be figured out.
Edit- away teams usually stay at the Hampton Inn there for these games so that would explain the hotel situation

I could very much see them announcing "this is the last one at Douglass" before the lineup drop.

Another interesting thing is a lot of past Riot Fest emails, including one for the winter presale, has the header with the dates, followed by "Douglass Park - Chicago"...this morning's email has the dates, followed by "Chicago - Illinois". Could mean nothing, but....

Someone on the subreddit made a comment about it moving to Tinley Park Edit: tickets are currently not on sale, but when you try to buy them, they have a link for booking discounted hotels nearby, and that page still says Douglas Park and all the hotels are downtown |

That Tinley comment looked like it was someone just bullshitting |

So they could do an indoor/outdoor thing with the same number of stages? I think it would be stupid if they did it here! |
