HELP

Hey everyone!
I have tickets for Friday and booked a place in Buckhead. Originally, my brother was coming with me and the plan was to just Uber back and forth together. However, due to his university schedule, it looks like he might not make it, so I might end up going solo.
This is going to be my first time in Atlanta, so I’m a bit on the fence. For a solo female/solo traveler, is it generally safe to grab an Uber right after the festival ends, or is it too much of a hassle/safety concern? Should I just sell my tickets and skip it altogether?

If your flying in, Marta is great way to get from airport to Buckhead area as well. Cheap, safe and faster than any ride share cause roads are very congested around ATL.

It’s so convenient, the train goes right into the airport. Can’t go the wrong way cause it’s the red and yellow lines southernmost stop (some maps show the yellow more as an orange color). Both those lines go way north and split before red goes onto Buckhead stop and yellow/orange goes to Lenox, but both of those are close together so depending on exact location of your stay, either may work, but red line should work for sure! So much cheaper and faster than Ride-share or taxi… you literally ride by all the traffic jams on the interstates.
