Premium Reserved Blanket Seating:
The lawn area between regular reserved seating and the stage will be sold as premium reserved blanket seating for most concerts (not available for Classical performances). Policies are as follows:
- There will be up to 30 Premium Reserved Blankets in front of the stage for most concerts in 2011. These blankets will replace the member blankets in the front lawn area. Patrons may request specific blanket locations when making a blanket purchase; however, if the blanket requested is not available or no specific request is made, best available will be given. View a printable reserved seating chart.
- The premium lawn blankets are numbered and will be reserved with a numbered tarp. Twenty-four blankets (5'x7') will be priced for four people (purchaser will receive four tickets). Six blankets (5'x3.5') will be priced for two people (purchaser will receive two tickets). Patrons should bring their own blanket to cover the tarp.
- Members may apply member ticket discounts or coupons to the premium blankets. The price of the blanket remains the same, even if there are a fewer people occupying the blanket than the maximum number allows.
- Premium lawn blankets may be purchased up to 1 hour before the gates open, subject to availability.
- If all 30 blankets are sold, there will be no general admission seating in front of the stage.
- Any premium reserved blankets that are not sold by 1 hour before the gates open will be opened as general admission seating, on a first-come, first-served basis. Note: space guidelines and patron numbers per space still apply.
