General Shuttle / Parking Questions
- Can I purchase shuttle tickets on the day of the show?
Yes. You can purchase shuttle tickets on the day of the show at the Groove tent (outside the Top Hat in downtown Missoula). Shuttle tickets are also available for purchase in advance online through the event page.
- Do the shuttles sell out?
- Nope! Shuttles do not sell out. The shuttles will run until everyone who has purchased a shuttle ticket is at the destination. Shuttle boarding is on a first come, first served basis.
- How many shuttle tickets do I need to purchase?
One shuttle ticket per person. Each single shuttle ticket will get you to and from the KettleHouse Amphitheater so keep the ticket safe as it will be needed for your return trip.
- Does my PARKING pass allow me to ride the shuttle to and from the Amphitheater?
No. Advanced purchase parking passes only allow your own personal vehicle parking at the KettleHouse Amphitheater. To ride the Groove shuttle service, you must purchase a Groove shuttle ticket for the corresponding event. Please make sure you have the correct type of ticket before heading to the show.
- Are beverages allowed on the shuttle?
Yes. The shuttles allow unopened, canned beverages purchased from the Top Hat. Under no circumstances will open containers and/or beverages purchased elsewhere be allowed on the shuttles.
- Am I allowed to smoke on the shuttle?
No. Smoking of any kind is prohibited while riding the shuttles.
- Does parking sell out?
Yes, parking can sell out. For events with high demand parking, advance parking sales may end early, in which case a limited amount of parking passes will be available for purchase at the venue on the day of the show on a first come first serve basis.
If you’re worried about parking availability, we highly suggest taking the shuttles. Shuttles do not sell out!
