Be Prepared for a Meaningful Experience
The concert is more than just a musical event; it’s also a significant opportunity to support local communities impacted by recent flooding. Fans are invited to participate in a flood relief supplies drive taking place outside Kroger Field at Gate 1 and Gate 9 from 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET. This effort is in partnership with Hickman Holler Appalachian Relief, aimed at collecting essential supplies that will help those in need. Specific items needed for donation will be listed on the Tyler Childers Concert Day Information Page on UKathletics.com.
Getting There and Entry Details
For those excited to attend, remember that tickets are mobile-only and must be accessed through either the Ticketmaster app or the UK Athletics app. It’s important to note that tickets are non-transferable, and resale is permitted only at face value through Ticketmaster’s exchange. Be sure to save your tickets and parking passes to your phone’s digital wallet to avoid any hassles on concert day.
Parking and Tailgating Policies
If you’re driving, parking permits must be purchased ahead of time through Ticketmaster. Concerning parking access, you’ll be able to arrive as early as noon if you have a permit. Of course, tailgating will be allowed, but don’t forget to check the specific regulations for event day outlined by UK Athletics to ensure a smooth experience for everyone.
What to Bring and What to Leave at Home
In line with stadium policy, clear bags are required for all attendees. Be sure to check that your bag meets the guidelines, because there will not be any onsite storage available for bags or other items. If you’re lucky enough to have floor or pit tickets, use either Gate 1 or 12 for entry. All guests will need to pass through a security screening, so arriving early is a good plan.
Monetary Donations Are Welcome
While donating essential supplies is immensely valuable, monetary contributions to the Hickman Holler Appalachian Relief Fund are also welcomed. This fund was established in 2020 to support philanthropic efforts throughout Appalachia and Kentucky, making it an excellent way to assist communities in recovery.
Don’t Miss Out!
With tickets starting at $89 and still available, it’s shaping up to be an amazing night of music, fun, and community spirit.
