Tickets go on sale on Eventbrite at noon before each concert, and each ticket admits one car with up to 8 people.
Be aware these tickets often sell out as soon as they go on sale. Log onto the site before sale time to avoid disappointment.
Eventbrite recommends that you be sure your computer cache isn’t clogged and use Google Chrome.
The event listing will say “Not Yet On Sale” until the tickets go live. Due to the very high volume of people trying to get tickets simultaneously, Eventbrite will likely list the tickets as “unavailable” immediately after release. We recommend that patrons keep trying by continually refreshing their browser windows. When all tickets have been purchased, Eventbrite will then display “Sold Out.”
Your ticket purchase helps support Dyer Observatory’s public outreach efforts. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE:
If you purchased your ticket through Eventbrite, please have your PRINTED ticket handy to show at the gate and provide the name of the ticket buyer.
- Each ticket admits one vehicle with up to 8 people in the vehicle. The ticket price covers everyone in your car. We have very limited parking with only room for one parking space for each ticket. Also, we cannot match individuals to group tickets if they arrive separately. Everyone entering on your ticket must arrive in the same single vehicle. You may not arrive at different times.
- We cannot allow attendees to walk or use rideshares. Cars coming to the top of the hill to drop people off and leave present a safety hazard for there isn’t room to safely turn around with all the traffic and guests unloading their cars.
- Vanderbilt Police have asked us to remind everyone to please stay in your vehicle until it is parked–for safety reasons.
- RV’s are not allowed unless special permission has been granted prior to arrival.
- Come early to picnic, enjoy the grounds, enter raffles, and enjoy sponsor samples.
- Please note that Dyer is a forested park-like setting surrounded by Radnor Lake State Park. Bug spray, a blanket or tarp on grass, and avoidance of plants on the perimeter of the yard is highly recommended to avoid tick and other insect bites.
- You are welcome to bring lawn chairs, blankets, low tables, coolers, food, and beverages–both soft and spiritous. We do not provide seating.
- No pets are allowed anywhere on the property (including vehicles), but service animals are welcome.
