Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheater

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheater is a 20,000 seat outdoor concert venue located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The amphitheatre opened in 1996; since then, it has hosted performances by artists such as Coldplay, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Kenny Chesney, Jimmy Buffett, 311, Aerosmith, Rascal Flatts, Mary J. Blige, Steely Dan, and Gwen Stefani. It has also hosted tours like Warped Tour and Ozzfest.

The amphitheater has 5 well-lit and secure parking lots that are all adjacent to the facility. The parking fee is included in the price of your ticket for most shows. You may purchase premier parking (located near the Main Gate) on a first-come, first-served basis.

For most shows there is a designated "roped off" area on the lawn that is smoke and alcohol free. If a show is designated as a "Family Show," one child 12 or under is admitted free on the festival lawn with each valid adult festival lawn ticket.

A wide variety of food is offered at concession stands, but for most shows, the amphitheater staff allow guests to bring in most food items as long as they fit in a one gallon, clear Ziploc style bag, which must be shown to a member of the staff when entering the facility. Guests can bring one factory sealed bottle of water in as well.
