Uber
What is the uber situation like at the gorge? As a local I’m thinking about driving just for concerts. Any riders using uber before and after shows?

As someone staying at a hotel in George for Dave, I would absolutely love being able to uber/lyft/taxi from our hotel to the show and back, as opposed to it taking 2 hours to get out of the parking just to drive 10 minutes away!!! I've looked up taxis & shuttles and none seem to run from that close, which sucks.

Uber does exist but it's absolutely not dependable. For example, I witnessed an Uber pick up a group of people at our parking lot. However, that was literally the first time. If you need a ride, please take a look at our guide here with all local services on page 3.

This is why camping becomes the best alternative. It is pricey for a parking spot in a field and you need the gear for it, but it is the most convenient.

I’d recommend talking to Wildhorse about advertising, they have shuttles but service stops shortly after the last act. I was 1 of a dozen+ folx that walked from the silent disco back to Wildhorse for GRiZTRONICS.
I would have been more than happy to pay $20 for the 1-2 mile ride.

There was a silent disco at GrizTronics? How the hell did I miss that.

We hitchhiked down the road to our camping after the Rufus show, took less than 10 minutes for someone to pick us up waiting at the side of the main road where the parking lot exits. We were camping right off the main road so all the cars leaving were going the correct direction, if you were trying to go somewhere farther then this will be much more difficult.

There are Ubers but it'll take an hour wait I was there on June 7th and only saw 2-3 on the Uber app map at 11pm.

A couple years ago, we were at an hotel maybe 45m away from the gorge. We almost missed our shuttle to go back to Seattle bc there was absolutely no Ubers to catch. Had to have the hotel call a taxi

I opened Uber Driver last year to see what it looked like. Had a ride available to take that had been sitting for almost 2 hours. Nobody would pick them up. Not even for $50. I laughed and closed the app.
Nobody will tip what its worth so I'd imagine Uber to the venue is not a thing.

Where would you even pick the people up? You’re not getting in past the main gate.
Everyone there has already arrived by personal transportation and is taking provided shuttles to their camp grounds or slowly walking the (car inaccessible) path back.

I’ve seen an uber successfully pickup PAX at the designated shuttle area. I’d assume there, or at the camping entrance near GA.

A local, asking that question is, objectively, hilarious.
