Parking onsite:

-We encourage carpooling because of limited parking space. The venue is located in the hills of the Monadnock Region and we want to be sensitive to the neighbors of the area. Carpooling means less traffic. Parking passes for onsite parking are available for purchase as a separate add on ticket.

Is there cell service?

-Cell service is poor at best.  In case of emergency there will be security officers, staff and EMTs on duty.  The town of New Ipswich is aware of this event and will be ready to respond if necessary.

Handicap Accessibility:

Those with a handicap plate or placard may park in handicap parking at the venue. Parking passes are still required. Handicap accessible drop off is available for those needing access accommodations who do not hold a parking pass.

Tier Ticketing:

Tier ticketing refers to the pricing structure. The tiers offer savings to those who purchase their tickets early as each tier has a limited amount of tickets available. Once a tier sells out, you will only be able to purchase tickets in the next available pricing tier. All tickets (regardless of the tier purchased) are for General Admission. Seating and access is the same for each tier.
