Anyone have a clue why GA tickets for the BNL/Train concert are almost $500 per person not resale?

We are headed to Red Rocks Friday night. Debating if we should walk or drive to venue

We are staying just south of Morrison. I drive a large van - and debating walking vs driving to the venue. Ideally I’d like to park in the Upper South Lot.

I’m wondering if there are people there that direct traffic in the lot and make you park in a specific location, or if we can park at the back of the lot. It’s a pain to bring the van into tight spaces - so my preference is to always park at the back.

We could also walk if the parking is going to be too tight.

Hello! Wondering if anyone in the Boulder area is driving to the show tonight and has room for one more?

I really want to see this and have a way to get a ticket, but can’t justify driving solo and can’t swing $65 shuttle on top of the ticket.

Happy to chip in $20 for gas/tailgate snacks and can provide references I’m not a flake/asshole/serial killer. 😅

We are heading to town for the Goose concerts in Aug. and will only have rental car. Other than buying cheap lawn chairs and disposal coolers to use to tailgate, has anyone ever find a way to rent these type items? If anyone on this thread is local and could help me out I will pay a fare price and I am very respectful of rented items. :)

Going to Reggae on the Rocks looking for the best shuttle/transportation to go with. It's going to be a long day with doors opening at 2pm.

I'm looking at the one of the shuttle services or a private car. Not wanting to deal with uber or lyft type things. Is the shuttle with other people that much fun and worth it? It wouldn't be much more for me to get a private car for 2 people.

We have reserved seats so standing in line for GA is not a concern.

This will be my first ever Red Rocks concert, we'll be there in September for the Backseat Lovers! We're all super excited, but we're just a bunch of broke 20 somethings pooling together basically birthday money to road trip there and back. We'll be doing some camping so I'd love recommendations for sites around the Denver area, but we do want a hotel to crash at the night of the concert. I've heard the Golden and the Origin are lovely hotels, but we 10000% do not have $200+ to drop on a hotel room for one night. None of us need anything fancy, some reliable little hotel would do just fine. Any specific hotels that yall could recommend would be great but also could use some knowledge of maybe a district or general area we should just look around in!

The other question is about transportation. Since we're road tripping, we'll have my little suv with all our stuff in it anyway, so we could tailgate, but I imagine getting out of the area at the end of the night might be something of a nightmare. idk, that's just what has happened at every other concert I've ever been to where I drove there myself. Should we tailgate? Uber? Take a shuttle? Knowing that info might help me narrow down where we might look for the hotel as well.

Thank you !!

Hi all!

I’m planning my first trip to a show at Red Rocks. My AI friend ChatGPT has recommended that I bring seat cushions.

Is this a normal thing to do? If so, any recommendations on good cushions?

This is like the T-Swift tickets all over again. Many issues with AXS, multiple times of being kicked out or thought I was a bot, and then after finally getting through the only tickets were resale starting at $673 for GENERAL ADMISSION!!!!! WTF! It ranges anywhere from $600-2,000. This is disgusting especially when you live in CO and you can't even go to see your favorite artists. I can't believe this BS anymore! Where are the caps on the beginning of the damn tickets! thoroughly sad!

hey my last post got taken down but just wanted to know did anyone get tickets for the backseat lovers concert for sep 30? how was your experience bc i genuinely struggled. i did end up getting a ticket but it definitely cost way more than it should’ve

Can someone explain this?

If there is no pre-sale for a show and I log into the queue the day tix go on sale, wait my turn only to find the minimum is now $700 for GA. How does that happen that fast within the 20 minutes I waited my turn. Where did all the tix go?I have never seen it this bad. Been going to shows all over for 30 plus years. Who can afford that?

Thank you for letting me rant.

I am so disappointed that every time I want to see an act I have to compete with bots or buy a resale ticket for $200. It’s so unfair to the people that live here, and I’m tired of artists playing red rocks as their “bucket list” destination when they could be playing for real Coloradans at any other venue. I wish some artists would boycott red rocks but none of them ever will because it’s too profitable to sell all your tickets on resale to people from out of state.

Going to an EDM concert at RR and wondering if anyone has parked earlier in the day (around like 1pm) to get a good parking spot in upper north and then had an Uber pick them up from there to leave and go out to eat and then ubered back closer to when it started? Any issues with getting an Uber from upper north lot during the day, before parking even officially opens? We don't really have a need to party in the lot hours before thsle show starts, but want to get a good parking spot 😅

When I saw my favorite band was playing at red rocks I was super hyped. Got into the queue and waited about 20 minutes and I got kicked out and then did that 3 more times. All around super bummed I was excited to watch Josh and the boys play at red rocks :(

Anyone who got Backseat Lovers tickets: How much were they? I saw some people say $80 and others $175…

This may be a silly question, but I’m going to go see my favorite band (the Strokes) at Red Rocks in a month. It’s my first time seeing them, and my first time at Red Rocks. They’ve been known to toss out guitar picks at their concerts. I’ve heard anecdotes of people finding Strokes picks on the floor at their shows. But the show is assigned seating and I won’t be near the front (I’m in row 36).

I know the odds of finding one might be low, but I was wondering if it’d be acceptable to go closer to the front after the show ends to see if I could find any picks on the ground, or if staff would keep people from going closer to the stage after the show ends.

Side note- as a first time Red Rocks concert goer, anything else I should know? Thanks

heyyy im tryna go to the backseat lovers concert in september but my friends aren’t really fans of them lol. is anyone else going and interested in meeting at the concert?

Anybody have tickets for any of the 3 nights of Brandi Carlile that they are looking to sell/can no longer use?! Ideally looking for 4, but even 2 would be great. Thanks!!

Last night at Ziggy Marley, headed for cover. Five minutes later I realized I forgot my poster tube and went back to get it but it was gone.

Assuming positive intent and someone picked it up to return to the rightful owner. Do you have it? Black tube with a red strap.

I'm attending my very first Red Rocks concert later this year! Is there anything specific I should know? Can be about anything including when to arrive for GA seats, where to park, best food, best places to sit in GA, etc.

Anything helps!
