Seating
- Rows 1–69. Row 1 is at the stage and the rows rise to Row 69. The numbers on the drawing are rows.
- Row 70 is at the very top, above Row 69.
- Seats: all seating is on wooden benches with concrete walkways.
- Around the seats: Ship Rock is on one side, Creation Rock on the other and Stage Rock behind the stage.
- Mix area: the chart marks a mix area in the seating, between Row 1 and Row 24.
- Seating charts vary by event, and your ticket shows your seat location.
- Accessible seating: Row 1 and Row 70 are wheelchair accessible, and accessible seats must be chosen when you buy. Rows 2 and 3, seats 6–13, are for guests with limited mobility; seats 14–21 in those rows are for guests who have low vision, are blind, or are deaf or hard of hearing.
The layout changes by show. The seat map on your ticket listing is the final word for your show.

Parking
- For most shows, parking is included in the price of your ticket, with no extra fee at the venue on the day.
- When lots open: 2 hours before doors. Traffic Control guides you to a space after you enter the park.
- Expect a walk: routes from the lots to the gates may be partly dirt or uphill. Depending on when you arrive, overflow parking goes to the Jurassic Lot, a mile from the South Gate.
- Shuttles: free Red Rocks Shuttles run through the park as people arrive, from farther lots to the entrance gates.
- Pickup after the show: private cars, taxis, Uber and Lyft pick up in the Jurassic Lot, just inside Entrance 2 off Hwy 93.
- Accessible parking: during events it is at the Top Circle Lot (500 feet from Row 70) and the Upper South Lot, where an accessible shuttle runs to Rows 1, 2 and 3. A valid disability placard or plate is required, and spaces are first come, first served.
