For those fans looking for the most intimate experience, a limited number of VIP tickets (Platinum, Gold Circle, Silver Circle and Bronze Circle) are available in the first few rows in front of the stage.
If you are trying to park with other members of a group, we suggest trying to arrive in the lot behind one another as cars will be directed to fill in rows as they arrive. Still, we cannot guarantee that you will be parked next to the other vehicles in your group. It is recommended that you only share a vehicle with household members with whom you have been sheltering in place.
Personal vehicles and trucks that fit in a single, standard parking space are welcome. Oversized vehicles such as RVs, buses, limousines, excessive height or lift kit pick-up trucks and trailers are not permitted. Also, no motorcycles or ATV’s will be permitted.

In the rare instance that your battery does die, please notify your nearest parking attendant and our staff will assist you in jump starting your car when the show ends.
Hatchbacks should be raised no higher than the top of your vehicle (level with your roof). If your hatch opens above your roofline, this blocks the view of others.

To re-open the latch, just pull the lever.
