If you have ever attended a concert at Red Rocks, you’ve probably heard the terms “flash seats” and “non-transferable” before. The two terms are interchangeable, but the former is the most common. The first refers to the fact that tickets for a Red Rocks concert are only transferable to the person who purchased them. This is also true of tickets for some other types of concerts, like those held at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Ticket-transferability is not possible for Flash Seats, but the Official Red Rocks Fan-to-Fan Exchange is the best place to sell your tickets.

Accessible seating at Red Rocks
When it comes to purchasing tickets for a concert at Red Rocks, there are a few things you should know before buying. While you can legally purchase wheelchair-accessible seating, you must show up with a group. When you buy a first-row ticket, you must verbally acknowledge to the staff that at least one member of your group needs an accessible seat. Disability Law Colorado staff attorney Jenni Purrington explained the importance of this step, and what steps you should take to request accessible seating at Red Rocks.
First, you should know that the new ticket policy states that people with disabilities or other mobility restrictions must present a valid ID before they can purchase tickets. For those with disabilities, this means the front four rows. They will also be subject to a screening by ticket staff. The new policy will go into effect in February 2018.
During the summer, accessible seating is available for certain concerts. During a disco biscuits show, you’ll be able to enjoy the concert in the designated handicapped section. Seating in these sections is reserved for people with physical disabilities. If you have to get out of a wheelchair, you can take a folding chair with you. Red Rocks also offers wheelchair-accessible restrooms behind the concession stand, and there is even a baby changing station. If you’re looking for wheelchair-accessible restrooms, be aware that they are often busy during a show, and this means that you’ll want to arrive early.
New ticketing process for people with disabilities
For the 2018 concert season, Red Rocks Amphitheatre will implement a new ticketing process for people with disabilities. The new seating process will be enforced for the first four rows, where only those with a disability will be allowed to sit. The second through fourth rows are reserved for patrons with vision or hearing impairments. Fans who have a disability and plan to attend the show must bring identification that matches the name on their credit card.
The lawsuit filed by the disability-rights coalition is a response to the inaccessibility of the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Previously, people with disabilities had difficulty accessing the theater’s first-row seats. Now, wheelchair-users can sit in those first-row seats if they have a group of four or more. The lawsuit was filed against Denver Arts and Venues, which operates Red Rocks.
Flash Seats is Red Rocks’ digital ticketing system. This system is based on ID, such as a credit card or driver’s license. Flash Seats users can access tickets on the Red Rocks website and transfer them to another person’s phone or ID. To access the system, users must create an account and enter basic information, including credit card information. The account will not be charged, but will be identified as the owner of the credit card.
Can you bring alcohol to Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Whether you are attending a concert at Red Rocks or simply tailgating in the parking lot, you can bring your beverage of choice. There are no drinking or eating restrictions in the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. However, you are required to have a valid photo ID and date of birth to purchase alcohol. You must also have a proper ID, as some venues will not accept vertical or hole punched IDs. Red Rocks management reserves the right to eject anyone who is intoxicated.
You are welcome to bring non-alcoholic beverages in factory sealed plastic containers. Those containers must be 32 oz. or less. Keep in mind that the venue does not allow glass utensils or binoculars. Water, soft drinks, and food must be kept in clear plastic bags. Alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages should be packed in insulated, gallon-sized containers to prevent contamination and odors.
The Red Rocks Amphitheatre is located in the Rocky Mountains. Despite its location, it blends into the landscape, creating a unique experience for the audience. Located in the town of Morrison, Colorado, the venue has attracted some of the biggest names in music. As the name suggests, Red Rocks is 6,400 feet above sea level. To walk a hundred feet from the stage to the top plaza requires a climb of 194 steps. The parking lot is also steep.
