Alright mom and dad -- you've spent years stepping on your kid's monster trucks. Now, it's time to see them live in action. Monster Jam® is scheduled to thunder into Athens, GA at the Akins Ford Arena this summer with monster-sized jumps and crashes all ages will enjoy. My 4-year-old is a big, big fan of any truck with larger-than-life wheels, but Grave Digger® is his absolute favorite (El Toro Loco® is a close second). We are pumped about the opportunity to finally see them in-person!

Get your chance to meet drivers, take photographs, and see the trucks up-close when you purchase the Monster Jam Pit Pass add-on which gives you access to the exclusive Pit Party (available on Saturday and Sunday only). Heads up -- Pit Passes must be purchased for the same date as your event ticket.

Cost
General seating ranges from $30 to $85 + fees. Premium seating available.
Pit Passes available starting at $20 + fees.

How
Purchase tickets online at https://classiccenter.com/1698/Monster-Jam. It's advisable to purchase tickets early, as Monster Jam® events often sell out quickly.

Tips for Parents

  • Pack ear plugs or sound-cancelling headphones for each person. It's going to get very, very loud!
  • Be sure to pack your essentials into a clear bag as they are required for this event.
  • Akins Ford Arena is a cashless facility. All purchased must be made with a credit or debit card.
  • There is a Sensory Room available to guests of any age who become overstimulated during the show. They are welcome to enter for some peace and relaxation, then can return to their assigned seat when ready.
  • Strollers are not allowed in the seated areas and can be checked in at the Guests Services Desk upon arrival.
  • No outside food will be allowed inside of the arena. Concessions will have food available for purchase.
