🚀 MATCHDAY UBER/LYFT SURVIVAL HACK (DESTINATION)

How to beat the Surge Pricing at Lumen Field (Seattle):

1st Ave S turns into a total bottleneck. Walk 3 blocks east into the Chinatown-International District or north into Pioneer Square local bars. Grab a quick drink, let the initial crowd clear, and book your app ride outside the immediate field radius to cut your fare in half.

Official Gate Drop-off Area: Designated rideshare pickup zones are active on 1st Ave S and near King Street Station.
