Grab Your Tickets Early: Ticket prices go up as the date gets closer, so make sure to snag your tickets now at grfavail.com for the best deal, or go in-person to the box office at the Vilar Performing Arts Center and skip the fees! Tickets will also be available at the box office at The Amp on the performance days. Single-day and two-day passes are available for both General Admission and VIP.

Consider Weekend Accommodation: Vail can get busy during events, so book your lodging well in advance. Look for options close to The Amp to minimize travel hassle. Guests can take advantage of exclusive lodging deals for Après at The Amp weekend, including at Manor Vail Lodge, Evergreen Lodge at Vail, and more. Visit grfavail.com/apres25 for more information on lodging deals.

Dress Like a Pro: Vail in early April can be unpredictable, and mountain evenings can be chilly. Wear multiple layers you can easily add or remove as temperatures fluctuate, and choose comfortable shoes that can handle both dancing and any potential weather.

Plan Your Arrival: Get to the venue with plenty of time to park, go through security, and find your perfect spot. Or better yet, take one of multiple free buses from Vail Village or Lionshead. Check out our website for more information, bus schedules and maps.

Stay Hydrated: The mountain altitude can dehydrate you faster. Bring a water bottle or purchase drinks at the venue.

Warm Up with a Hot Beverage: Head to the concession stand for a hot cocktail to keep warm during the outdoor concert.

Bring a Small Bag: Carry essentials like a portable charger, light layers, and other personal items. Note: oversized bags are not allowed.
