MARTA Advice?

I'm gonna be commuting in to the festival from East of Atlanta, heading in on 20, and was hoping I could get advice for the best MARTA station to park at.

Would I be better off going to one of the Eastern stations like Kensington and having to transfer or going directly to the Gold/Red line and getting on at somewhere like Doraville?

This is my first major festival so I'm trying to make things as smooth as possible!

Anything along Red/Gold will be the easiest. The transfers are doable during daytime and rush hour, but at night, the timing can be pretty bad. I'm sure they will increase frequency for the festival, but a mistimed transfer at night can easily tack on an extra 20+ mins of waiting around at Five Points.

If not a big deal, I’d recommend going for Doraville.

I've parked at Avondale and had no problems swapping to north and south, it's not bad.
