- OUTDOOR LIVE ARENA TICKET OPTIONS –

For our outside arena shows for 200 cars, we have separated the ticket options to accommodate everyone’s price point. We’ve got four different areas with four different price points, from up close and personal with the Gold & Silver tickets to our Bronze main area tickets and then we have our super saver cooper priced tickets.

All our tickets start as a car with a minimum of two passengers per vehicle, even if attending on your own we have to charge the minimum two people per car due to limit space alongside world class entertainment. Every additional ticket after the first two is at a reduced price and is set also on the area you are placed in.

All parking in each section is worked out on a first come first served basis, meaning you will be parked on a first come first placed system, this is the only way we can accommodate such high number of cars and be able to turn around two shows per afternoon.

Gold Band Tickets –

These are our closest parking spaces to the stage, starting at only 4 meters from stage and the furthest being 10 meters from stage. If your looking for that up-close festival feel, then these are a must have ticket.

Silver Band Tickets –

Also, closely placed to the stage, these silver band tickets start from 18 meters from the stage, giving you a great close view.

Bronze Band Tickets –

Our main area within the arena, all excellently placed spots with clear view lines to the stage, starting from just 30 meters back from stage.

Cooper Band Tickets –

Our copper band tickets are our super saver, excellent priced tickets to world class entertainers in a 1000 people show setup, placed at the back but all with great view lines of the stage.

100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE ON CANCELLED EVENTS
