Parking is $40 per car and jumps to $80 for those arriving in RVs, buses or limos.

To avoid traffic congestion, public transportation is a viable option and one of the easiest ways to catch a show at the Concord Pavilion.

There is a $5 round trip bus fee.

Tickets

Tickets can be purchased online through Live Nation and will be held at will call for pickup. You may also purchase tickets directly at the Box Office located at the main entrance. The Pavilion Box Office opens 90 minutes prior to show time.

There is a $6 service charge per ticket. An insider tip – the best time to buy tickets is Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm when the service fee is waived.

Seating

There are options for every kind of visitor at the Concord Pavilion. If you are looking to kick back and relax in the grass, bring a lawn chair or blanket and catch the show from the lawn. Lawn seats are the lowest in price and the farthest from the stage.

From there, ticket prices generally increase and are closer to the stage. The next level of seating offers individual chairs with padded backs and seats. This option is available for 200 and 100 level seats as well as box seats.

Need to be up close and personal? Pit tickets are the choice for you. Located directly in front of the stage, this area is standing only to give you plenty of dancing room.

Children age two and younger are allowed lawn seating free of charge.
