There is nothing like seeing a show under the stars at Hersheypark Stadium!
To prepare for those warm summer nights under the lights, we wanted to share a few tips to help make your upcoming show experience as enjoyable as possible. Check out the list below and join us for our longest summer concert season ever in The Sweetest Place On Earthduring our 85th anniversaryyear!
Hersheypark Stadium is a cashless venue, so all major debit and credit cards will be accepted. If you forget your card, don't worry - for no additional fee, you can convert cash to a prepaid debit card at two Cash-to-Card kiosks, located under the East and West grandstands. Other properties nearby, such as Hersheypark Supply Co., will also have Cash-to-Card kiosks availablefor guest usage.
Hersheypark Stadium does not permit bags larger than 5"x8"x1" in dimension for guest safety. Hand clutches, wristlets, and other small purses are permitted so long as they do not exceed the size limit. Backpacks, large purses, clear bags, fanny packs, camera bags, drawstring bags, totes and suitcases will NOT be permitted inside the venue.
Exceptions will be made for guests that require a medical equipment bag and/or a parenting bag. These bags must be smaller than 14"x14"x6" and must go through a metal detection screening upon entry.
All bags, persons and hand-carried items are subject to search and measurement. Guests will be required to enter through walk-through security scanners upon arriving at the venue.
The cost of parking is included in the price of your concert ticket for shows at Hersheypark Stadium! Just be sure to follow the "Concert Parking" signage on Hersheypark Drive when heading to park. Parking attendants will direct you to the best available spaces. Lots will open at 1 p.m. on the day of the show. If you plan to tailgate, please take time to review our tailgating policiesbeforehand.
Due to the potential of Hersheypark and concert attendee traffic, plan to arrive early to the show. We recommend allowing extra time to park, walk to the venue and get through the security line. Doors open approximately 90 minutes prior to showtime.
In the event of inclement weather, please stay tuned to our Hersheypark Stadium social media channels for updates. Please note that ponchos are permitted, but umbrellas will not be allowed inside the venue.
If you're heading to the venue a bit early or find time to explore, don't forget to stop by our courtyard! Located at the front entrance of Hersheypark Stadium next to the box office, guests can indulge in delicious eats from various food trucks and purchase artist merchandise. For those 21+, there will also be select alcohol offerings throughout the evening. The courtyard will open 30 minutes prior to general doors for each show, and is slated to stay open throughout most of the evening.
As cellular service can become weak or slow on show days, we recommend downloading your digital ticket to your Apple Wallet or mobile device prior to arriving at the Stadium. Photo screenshots of a ticket will not be accepted for entry.
Summer days in Hershey can get pretty warm, so it's important to stay hydrated before and during the show. Each guest is permitted to bring one sealed bottle of water into the venue. No reusable or open bottles will be allowed inside. Any additional exceptions will be made for guests with medical restrictions/conditions and baby bottles.
Hersheypark Stadium is conveniently located next to Hersheyparkamusement park, which is home to an iconic collection of 15 coasters, more than 20 kiddie rides, and a full water park. If you are attending a concert at the Stadium, you are eligible to receive discounted admission tickets to Hersheypark the day of, the day before, or the day after an event. Present your event ticket to Ticketing Services, located in Tram Circle, to receive the discounted event price of $61.95.
With plenty of attractions and things to do, we invite you to spend more time at The Sweetest Place On Earth by booking a trip to Hershey Lodge, The Hotel Hersheyor Hersheypark Camping Resort! Attendees staying at one of our properties can enjoy free front gate shuttle service for select shows this summer. Guests will be transported to the exclusive drop-off location at Hersheypark, adjacent to the Stadium. Shuttles will run until one hour after concerts at Hersheypark Stadium have concluded.
Complete with brand new menu items, The Chocolatier Restaurant, Bar + Patio is the perfect place to stop in for a drink or dinner before the show. Conveniently located near the Stadium, outside of the Hersheypark front gate and inside of Hersheypark Supply Co. at Hershey's Chocolatetown, this dining experience is one you won't want to miss out on. The Chocolatier menu features a wide variety of salads, burgers, and flatbreads, along with specialty appetizers and dessert options. Reservations are strongly encouraged on weekends and show nights.
For those 21+, we recommend trying out the Mini Martini Flight, which includes new concoctions like Blue Raspberry Stars, Orange Dreamsicle and Red Stripe.
Quick and tasty on-the-go options can be found at Milton's Ice Cream Parlor, which is also located at Hershey's Chocolatetown. In addition to an array of hand-made ice cream, Milton's serves up sandwiches, soups, salads and guest-favorites like chicken buckets and fries with various dipping sauces.
