Tickets and Presale
The venue page lists a fan club presale. We did not find a general on-sale date, and we could not read the Ticketmaster page, so we cannot say whether the show is sold out. Start from the venue’s event page or the band’s tour page. The band’s tour page also links a separate VIP and hotel package site run by a hospitality company; we print no package prices because they are not ticket prices.
Bags, Items and Age Rules
The venue’s what to bring page says bags, briefcases or purses larger than 6 x 6 x 6 inches are not allowed, and fully clear bags smaller than 18 x 18 x 18 inches are allowed. Umbrellas (including collapsible ones) are on its prohibited list. The venue’s general visit page says guests 2 and younger are free to attend events, and that promoters can change this. The Avett Brothers event page states no age rule, so check it before you bring children.
Parking
The venue’s parking page gives a special-event rate of $11.00 per vehicle, while its garage table lists $9 single-day and $7 multi-day. The page contradicts itself and is not specific to this show, so confirm the rate on the day. Arrive early on New Year’s Eve; downtown Asheville fills up.
Not confirmed: the ticket price, the general on-sale date and sold-out status, the age rule for this show, and the exact parking rate. We checked the venue’s pages on October 27, 2026.
