1: does anybody know a place to buy tickets in person, not online? I just got here and i don't have a working bank card yet, and my chinese reading is terrible so,id rather not deal with buying them online
2: transportation? i know the public bus goes out there but it doesn't run late enough to bring people back after the show. anybody have suggestions for someone without a car on the best way to get there and back?
Not sure where to buy the tickets in person, but there are two hotline numbers listed on the poster.
The Damai ticketing site has, in addition to tickets, round-trip buses listed for 20 yuan per day. They'll probably leave from somewhere central.
The Hongta Sports Center isn't really all that far from the city, at least not anymore. I would expect to find at least some black taxis hanging out offering rides back into town for a bit more than market price.
