Walking Required

Please be aware that there is a significant amount of walking from the parking lots to the Main Entry into the venue, and then additional walking once through the Main Entry to the Pavilion stage. For those in need, we provide an ADA shuttle free of charge, which transports guests from Lot D to the concessions area on the right side of the amphitheater. Please note: Depending on where you are parked, getting to the shuttle area could also require an ample amount of walking. If this is a concern, we strongly encourage you to purchase a Premium Parking ticket in advance, which is available as soon as a concert is on sale. Premium Parking is located in Lot D, which is adjacent to the ADA Shuttle entry. 

Additionally, parking areas for busses and oversized vehicles are located in Lots F & G, which are the furthest distance from the ADA Shuttle and Main Entry. Please consider this when choosing to arrive in a bus or oversized vehicle, as it will entail a significant amount of walking.
