Morgan Wallen Sold Out SPAC! 11 Things to Know if You’re Going to the Show!

An enormous crowd is expected at SPAC Thursday night when one of country music's hottest stars returns to Upstate New York and we know you can't wait!

Morgan Wallen's "The Dangerous Tour" featuring special guest Hardy has been sold out in the Capital Region for months and anticipation for Thursday night's mega-show feels like an all-time high.

Large crowds are nothing new to country music fans, seemingly every artist packs them in thanks to your loyalty and love for "all things country," but the Wallen show is a bit different.

For starters, it's completely sold out - which rarely happens.  As a result, traffic will be heavy, space will be limited, and SPAC staff will have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to enforcing all LiveNation and SPAC rules.

Here are some FAQs that GNA and Wallen fans have asked the most - and hopefully this will help you have an even better experience once you get inside SPAC tonight.

Are tickets available?

Yes! Tickets are available if you know where to look! The show is completely sold out, but plenty of people on Facebook and Stubhub are looking to sell last-minute tickets and prices have come down.

But making sure they're authentic is your responsibility,  Here is what you need to know about online ticket purchases.

What's the weather supposed to be like?

How crazy is the traffic going to be?

Traffic will be very heavy on show day. Please give yourself enough time to arrive at the venue.  SPAC strongly encourages carpooling
Do I need proof of vax?

Entry protocols for this event will be following local guidelines, which currently are not requiring proof of vax/negative test for entry.

What kind of bag can I bring inside?

To reduce staff contact with guest belongings, SPAC has a bag policy.  They allow clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC tote bags no larger than 12” x 6” x 12” and/or small clutch bags (4.5”x 6.5”). No other bags of any type will be allowed.

What time should I get there so I can get inside and start partying?

The SPAC parking lot for the Morgan Wallen will open up at 4 PM.

The gates will open at 530, allowing people 90 minutes to settle before the show starts at 7 PM.

The lawn is going to be packed, what may I bring inside to sit on?

For the safety and convenience of all our guests, only collapsible lawn/camping chairs will be permitted with the height of the chair not to exceed 43” when collapsed. Canopies, footrests, side tables, and other attachments are prohibited. This policy will be strictly enforced.

Can I bring my cell phone inside SPAC for the show?

While some artists and entertainers are refraining people from taking pics and videos during the performance, Wallen is NOT one of them. So yes, cell phones are allowed inside. Just no selfie sticks!
