Cost-conscious music fans will be delighted to hear that Live Nation is bringing back the Lawn Pass.
The pass, which is being offered at numerous venues across the country, provides access to more than 30 concerts.
The two participating venues in the Bay Area are Shoreline Amphitheatre at Mountain View and Concord Pavilion. Toyota Amphitheatre, in the Sacramento area, is also an option for music fans.
With each Lawn Pass, fans get guaranteed general admission seating and Fast Lane access for $199 (plus fees) to 30-plus shows at a select amphitheater.
“Our Lawn Passholders have developed into a true community of fans who love spending their summers outdoors listening to great music,” says Tom See, chief operating officer of Live Nation’s Venue Nation. “This pass is about more than just getting access to the best shows of the summer. It’s a ticket to summer’s best moments paired with amazing live music.”
Lawn Passes go on sale at 10 a.m. Dec. 14 at lawnpass.livenation.com while supplies last. When purchasing the Law Pass, fans visit the above link and then use the dropdown menu to select the participating amphitheater for the pass.
So, Bay Area fans would most likely be selecting Shoreline or Concord. (The pass is venue-specific and can not be used at multiple venues.)
Each Lawn Pass holder receives a custom personalized credential that serves as their ticket on each show day. Credentials will be shipped directly fans in spring.
