Going to Swedish House Mafia’s Masquerade Motel? The music festival will take place March 8 and 9 at the L.A. State Historic Park, which is conveniently served by the Metro Gold Line Chinatown Station. The park is also just a short walk from Union Station.
Your Masquerade Motel ticket or printed ticket receipt gets you a free ride to and from the festival on Metro Bus and Rail. Take advantage of this deal to avoid the congestion and serious lack of parking in Chinatown. This is especially true for those attending on Friday, who will have to deal with the usual Friday evening rush hour traffic of those leaving DTLA offices.
Metro will be running expanded service on the Gold Line during the festival to accommodate crowds. And with Metro Rail open late on Friday and Saturday nights, getting home after the show should be no problem.
Here’s Live Nation’s monster news release on how to get there:

Can you tell me when the last red line and expo line trains will be running? I’m trying to get back to Culver City. Also, is only the gold line free or will all transfers for me to get from Culver City and back be free?
Hi Eric,
Here’s the schedule for the Expo Line: http://www.metro.net/riding_metro/bus_overview/images/806.pdf
And the Red Line: http://www.metro.net/riding_metro/bus_overview/images/802.pdf
Late night times are in the boxed area. As long as you have proof of concert ticket purchase, you can ride all Metro Bus and Rail lines for free to get to and from the show.

I’m trying to get to and from Fullerton, Ca to the concert. What are all the lines that have an extended time until 2am?
Hi Tatiana,
All Metro Rail lines run until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. To get to Fullerton though, you’ll need to check Metrolink or Amtrak’s Surfliner: http://www.amtrak.com/ccurl/951/903/Pacific-Surfliner-Schedule-011413.pdf
Not sure if they run trains until 2 a.m. Other options are to drive to a Metro Rail station and park and ride Metro (free with proof of concert ticket purchase) or hang out at the 24 hr Denny’s by Union Station until the first train runs.
