2. CARRY ONLY THE ESSENTIALS - LARGE BAGS ARE PROHIBITED

All Hershey Entertainment venues do not permit bags larger than 5"x8"x1" in dimension for guest safety.

The cost of parking is included in the price of your concert ticket for shows at Hersheypark Stadium! Just be sure to present your ticket stub to the toll booth attendant when heading to park. Lots will open at 12 p.m. on the day of the show. If you plan to tailgate, please take time to review our tailgating policiesbeforehand.

4. PLAN ACCORDINGLY & ARRIVE EARLY

Due to the potential of Hersheypark and concert attendee traffic, plan to arrive early to the show. Doors open approximately 90 minutes prior to showtime, which will give you plenty of time to check out our food and beverage options, purchase merchandise, or spend time with friends and family.

5. DOWNLOAD YOUR MOBILE TICKET TO YOUR DEVICE

As cellular service can become weak or slow on show days, we recommend downloading your digital ticket to your mobile device prior to arriving at the stadium. Photo screenshots of a ticket will not be accepted for entry.

6. DON'T FORGET TO HYDRATE

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.

9. GRAB A BITE BEFORE THE SHOW

Complete with brand new menu items, The Chocolatier Bar, Restaurant + 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 recommended on weekends and show nights.

For those 21+, we recommend trying out the Mini Martini Flight, which includes new flavors of Hershey's Chocolate, Hershey's Chocolate Caramel, and Hershey's Peanut Butter Cup.

Quick and tasty on-the-go options can be found at Milton's Ice Cream Parlor, which is also located at Hershey's Chocolatetown.
