Group transportation and tailgating setup for Red Rocks
Tailgating Guide

Red Rocks Tailgating Guide

Tailgating can be part of the fun. A private ride gives your group one vehicle, one arrival plan, and one return plan for the full night.

Tailgate + Transportation

Keep the whole night on one vehicle plan

Party at Red Rocks currently offers private transportation only. Choose the $399 Suburban or $599 van when your group wants door-to-door pickup, time to enjoy the pre-show atmosphere, and the return ride handled after the concert.

Tailgate with the walk back in mind

Great tailgates start with early arrival, but the real quality check is how the night feels once it gets colder and darker.

Before You Arrive

Tailgating works best when you arrive early enough to settle in and still have time to head through the gates without rushing.

The biggest mistake is building the whole night around parking-lot optimism and then scrambling after the show. Pick the transport plan before you load the cooler.

Tailgating Checklist
  • Arrive early enough to settle in and still make the walk to the gates without rushing.
  • Keep food and drinks simple and easy to pack back into the vehicle.
  • Bring layers, water, and lighting for the walk back after the show.
  • Set one regroup point before everyone heads toward the gates.
