The Frederik Meijer Gardens Amphitheater has only 1,900 seats, making it one of West Michigan’s most intimate venues. With that in mind, tickets for the shows sell out quickly. The park will offer a members-only presale before tickets become available to the public.
The members-only presale will begin at 9 a.m. on April 23 and last through May 6 at midnight. Members save $5 per ticket during the presale and $2 per ticket after that time period. There is a limit of eight tickets per show, per transaction. Members can purchase tickets:
- Online at Etix.com (preferred method): handling fee of $15 per order
- By phone at 800-514-etix (3849): handling fee of $15 per order
Public ticket sales begin at 9 a.m. on May 7. Once again, there is a limit of eight tickets per show, per transaction. Tickets can be purchased:
- Online at eTix.com (preferred method): handling fee of $5 per order (not per ticket) and convenience fee of $5.25 per ticket applies to all sales.
- By phone at 800-514-etix (3849): handling fee of $5 per order (not per ticket) and convenience fee of $5.25 per ticket applies to all sales.
