Seating and venue layout: The amphitheater offers a mix of reserved seating and lawn areas. Expect approximately 8,000 covered seats and up to 12,000 lawn spots. Seating choices let you balance proximity to the stage with price and comfort, and our team can help you secure great seats in the section you want as the event date approaches. For the best experience, arrive early to locate your seats, especially for lawn areas where visibility and shade vary throughout the day.
Parking and access: General parking is included with your ticket. Enter via Lookout Rd for parking, and use the Evans Rd drop-off point if you’re arriving by rideshare. A dedicated entrance helps reduce congestion and speeds up your arrival, so you can focus on the show. If you’re planning an extra-easy night, consider arriving at least a couple of hours before doors to find parking and settle in.
