New Atlanta Stadium ride guide: Getting there
Summary
Uber’s guide explains transportation options for events at Atlanta’s new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which it says will host more than 100 events that year. It recommends combining Uber with MARTA: riders can use promo code MARTA2MBS for 50% off eligible uberX or uberPOOL trips to and from select stations, within specified event windows. The discount has exclusions, a maximum value of $10, and applies to up to five rides per event in select Atlanta areas while supplies last; the guide lists dates and times ranging from September 7 through January 8. For direct stadium trips, Uber advises using designated pickup points, avoiding Northside Drive, verifying the vehicle and license plate, and using features such as upfront fares and Split Fare.
Context
The guide covers travel to and from Mercedes-Benz Stadium for a series of listed event dates and times. It describes both MARTA-connected rides and direct Uber pickups, with promotional terms and stadium-specific meeting guidance.
Approach / What changed
Use Uber to connect with select MARTA stations or request a direct ride to the stadium. The MARTA option uses promo code MARTA2MBS and specified eligibility windows; direct riders should select an app pickup point, avoid Northside Drive, and verify the driver, vehicle, and license plate.
Takeaways
Promo code MARTA2MBS provides 50% off eligible uberX or uberPOOL trips to and from select MARTA stations during listed event windows, with a $10 maximum discount and up to five rides per event.
For stadium departures, riders should choose the closest pickup point in the app and not request a ride on Northside Drive because road closures may affect pickups.
uberXL accommodates up to six people, while upfront fares show the total cost before requesting and Split Fare divides the trip cost among riders.
FAQ
What are the main restrictions on the MARTA2MBS discount?
The 50% discount applies only during the listed dates and times, in select Atlanta areas, and while supplies last. It excludes surcharges, the Booking Fee, and trips to or from the Airport, Vine City, Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN Center MARTA stations.
Where should riders meet an Uber after leaving the stadium?
Riders should select the closest pickup point in the Uber app and meet the driver there. The guide says not to request a ride on Northside Drive because road closures around the stadium can affect pickup speed.
How can groups manage capacity and ride costs?
Groups with more than four riders can choose uberXL, which accommodates up to six people and additional tailgate gear. Riders can also use Split Fare to divide the fare equally among everyone in the car.
