Parker McCollum in Sterling Heights | Tickets 2026

This Sterling Heights date is part of the 2026 Parker McCollum tour and is billed with special guests Max McNown and Kassi Ashton. They are scheduled to perform opening sets before Parker takes the stage, creating a full evening of music that runs from early evening into the night. Since your ticket includes all acts, arriving when gates open lets you enjoy more live music for the same price and makes mid-priced seats or lawn tickets feel like an even better value.

How can I get cheap tickets for the Parker McCollum Sterling Heights concert?

For cheaper tickets, focus on standard reserved seats in upper sections or lawn tickets instead of VIP packages, front rows, or add-on upgrades, which carry the highest markups. Check multiple platforms such as the main ticket outlet and major resale marketplaces, then compare the final price including all fees, because some sites now show “what you see is what you pay” totals that can be lower than others even if the base price looks similar. You can save more by buying in a group to split service fees, being flexible about your exact row or lawn spot, and watching resale listings for brief price dips if initial demand cools after the first rush of sales.

What are the seating options at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre?

The amphitheatre has a capacity of just over 7,000 guests, with about 4,200 fixed seats under or near the roof and roughly 3,000 lawn spots on the grass hillside behind them. Reserved seating sections give you a specific chair and clearer sightlines, while the general admission lawn is more relaxed and budget-friendly, where fans can spread out on blankets or low lawn chairs that meet venue size rules. If you want to keep costs low but still enjoy the atmosphere, choose lawn or rear reserved sections, which usually offer a good sound mix at a much lower price than premium or VIP seating.

What time do parking lots and gates open, and when should I arrive?

For most shows at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre, general parking lots open around 4:00 PM or about 2.5–3 hours before showtime, giving plenty of time for tailgating, walking to the gates, and going through security. Gates typically open ahead of the listed show time so early arrivers can find their seats, visit concessions, and settle in before the openers begin. To balance cost and convenience, aim to arrive in the first hour after lots open, when you can still get a good parking spot using the general parking included with your ticket without paying extra for Premier or VIP parking.

How does parking and transportation work for this concert?

General parking at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre is included with most event tickets, with lots spread around the venue and clearly signed from Metro Parkway. There are also Premier and VIP parking options located closer to the entrances for an added fee, while accessible parking is available in the South Lot next to the Freedom Hill Banquet Center for guests with valid permits. To save money, use the included general parking, carpool with friends to split fuel and any optional parking upgrades, or consider a rideshare drop-off near the main entrance to avoid paying for parking altogether.

What is the bag policy and what items are allowed inside?

The venue enforces a very strict bag policy: bags larger than about 4″ x 6″ x 1.5″, including purses, laptop bags, and camera bags, are prohibited, with only small wallets or clutches that meet the size rule typically allowed. Clear bags and medically necessary items may be permitted but are subject to inspection, while items like large backpacks, professional camera equipment, laptops, umbrellas, and most outside food or drink are generally not allowed. To avoid extra costs, bring only a small wallet-sized bag that passes security, skip items that might be turned away at the gate, and rely on the venue’s food and drink stands instead of risking having outside items thrown away.

Is the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre accessible for guests with disabilities?

The amphitheatre is described as fully accessible, with designated accessible seating areas, companion seating options, and accessible restrooms and pathways throughout the venue. Accessible parking is available in specific lots, including the South lot accessed from the main entrance, where staff can direct guests with valid disability placards or plates. Booking accessible seats early and arriving soon after parking opens helps you secure convenient parking and seating without needing to pay additional fees for last-minute upgrades or difficult-to-reach sections.

How long will the Parker McCollum concert last?

The event is scheduled for a 7:30 PM start, and with two support acts plus Parker’s headlining set, you can expect the full night of music to run for roughly three hours, depending on set lengths and local curfews. Typically, the openers start shortly after the listed showtime, with Parker taking the stage later in the evening and playing a substantial set before the show wraps up. If you are watching your budget, keep in mind that staying until the end may mean a short wait to exit the parking lots, so factor that into rideshare timing or choose general parking near an easy exit to avoid paying extra for premium lots.
