I'm not old enough to rent a car, but I need an inexpensive way to
make it to the DTE Energy Music Theatre on August 5th in
Detroit...what should I do?

The Theatre is in Clarkston, MI.

DTE Energy Theater (formerly Pine Knob) is about 45 minutes away from
the airport on a good traffic day.  On concert days, significant
delays can be expected.

I am unaware of any public transportation between Detroit and
Clarkston, and certainly nothing inexpensive.  The closest you're
likely to get is limousine service:

Expect to pay *at least* $100 for the evening, possibly more depending
on whether or not the company is willing to negotiate with you.  I
sent a friend to Detroit Metro via limo service from Toledo (a 35
minute drive straight up I-75), and recall paying ~$80 for the one way
trip.

Good luck.

Here's what I'd do ...

It appears to me that the cost of a ticket to that show is around $35.
 I'd offer to pay for someone's ticket in return for a ride. 
Advertise at any of the local Universities..am sure some student would
be willing to give you a lift.


Good Luck -

That's not a bad idea! Too bad I live in Jacksonville, Florida...
