    It may be noteworthy to tell you, if you plan on getting a car, make other plans, they didnt think when they set the date for this. The bay Bridge from the Oakland side to San Francisco will be shut down all weekend into tuesday morning the following week. Its some massive earthquake retrofit project. BART might be free though. Traffic will be detoured off at West Grand Ave in Oakland on the eastbound side and Traffic will be detoured off 80 at 4th Street in San Francisco going towards Oakland eastbound. Also If my memory serves me right theres a sold out San Francisco Giants game that same day. Driving around San Francisco will be a traffic nightmare. The concert sounds fun and nice and all but they could have picked a better day to hold it.
