Know Before You Go

First Timer's Guide

Everything You Need to Know Before You Arrive

Set on the historic grounds of the 1969 Woodstock festival, Bethel Woods is unlike any other venue.

  • Download the Ticketmaster app & load your ticket before you leave home — don't wait until you're in line. The SafeTix ticket uses a rotating barcode that refreshes every 15 seconds. Screen captures will not work.
  • Bring only a clear bag (12″×12″×6″ max) or a small (5.5″×8.5″) clutch purse
  • The Horizon Stage is general admission — arrive early for the best spot on the lawn
  • The stage is located just inside the main gates, on the Great Lawn, directly across from the Market Sheds
  • Lawn chair rentals are available in a tent to the right of the stage.
  • We are cashless — we accept credit cards, debit cards, and mobile payments (Apple & Google Pay)
  • No re-entry once you exit the venue gates
