Arrival Times for The Red Mile?

Arrival times may vary depending on the event, but we recommend arriving at the venue about an hour before the scheduled start time. This gives you some breathing room in case of traffic congestion, parking difficulties, visits to the merchandise store, or if you want to grab some food and drinks before the event starts.


Visit The Red Mile

When you come to an event at The Red Mile, make sure to bring your ticket and a valid ID, especially if you intend to purchase alcohol. We recommend bringing a credit or debit card and also some cash. Because this is an outdoor venue, it can get a little cold during the winter months (and sometimes year round), so we recommend checking the weather report to consider bringing extra layers and maybe even a blanket. Plus, it might be worth it to carry a rain jacket or poncho just in case the weather changes.

The Red Mile Bag Policy & Prohibited Items

Clear bags are strongly encouraged for quick inspection and enhanced security, as they provide visibility of contents, speeding up entry.

Prohibited items may include weapons, illegal substances, outside food, hazardous materials, and disruptive items.

Plenty of concessions are available at The Red Mile. Non-alcoholic beverages are served as well as alcoholic beverages including but not limited to beer, hard seltzer, liquor, mixed drinks and wine.


The Red Mile Accepted Payment Methods

The Red Mile primarily operates on a cashless basis. This implies that while some vendors may still accept cash, most onsite purchases are done with digital wallets or debit and credit cards. Although The Red Mile accepts most credit cards (such as Visa and Mastercard), it is prudent to carry a small amount of cash for tipping and for the few vendors that might accept it inside and outside the venue.
