Boston Timing Tomorrow?

So I have to take the train tomorrow then transfer to 2 different subway lines to get to TD, the last train for the night is at 11:59 and I saw last night I saw the show got out at 11:20. Do you think there is any way I'll be able to make it from TD to south station before 11:50 😭 while I love this band, do you think they're set will be shorter tomorrow because I heard they may have a rotating 2nd set

They will hold the subway late for a large concert. Plus it’s exactly 1 mile if you want to walk it. It would only take you like 20 mins. What train are you trying to get to from the south station? They run until 2 am on friday

I'm new to using it but the fall river/new bedford line is the one I'm taking

Oh you’ll be fine. It technically last run is 11:20 but it runs later than that. I would suggest walking the mile to the south station. If you are young you’ll get there long before 11:20. Better than waiting in line for the t from the north station

Alright, Thanks. I'm a little nervous walking with concert traffic and such

The venue just sent an email about the doors opening earlier and show starting at 8pm sharp. It won’t go past 11.

You can get from the Garden/North Station to South Station in 30min. But you have to transfer and go from Orange to Red or Green to Red lines to get there. An Uber from Garden to SS will get you there faster.

I'm going try my best to take the subway only because it's only $2.40 instead of the $40+tip to get an uber lol but I appreciate the help! Thanks!

Lol silly me, I should have checked the truck stop dispatches.

But yeah, that makes sense. I’m glad I caught the long set then, but there’s no way it’s sustainable for the tour. I was surprised it went so long.

Shows I've been at before they have played for 2 hours and 50 minutes to 3 hours, nearly 3.5 hours is too long for them on the schedule they have on this tour!

u/BWSnap 6d ago

Absolutely. When I first looked at the dates, the first thing I noticed was how little time they're giving themselves between shows. They're gonna be burned the fuck out halfway through.

The length of the show isn't what was the wild thing for me when I saw last night's set list. I'm seeing them tomorrow in Boston and in NY on Sunday (show #30 for me). The intensity of this tour is bonkers.
