Question 1

When is Nate Bargatze performing in Hershey and what time does the show start?

Accepted Answer

Nate Bargatze is scheduled to perform in Hershey&#44; Pennsylvania on Saturday&#44; May 16&#44; 2026 at GIANT Center&#44; with the show starting at 7:00 PM. Arriving in your seat a bit before 7:00 PM will help you catch the very beginning of his Big Dumb Eyes World Tour set.

Question 2

Where is the Nate Bargatze show in Hershey taking place?

Accepted Answer

The show takes place at GIANT Center&#44; located at 550 Hersheypark Drive next to Hersheypark and across from Hershey’s Chocolate World. GIANT Center is a large indoor arena that hosts concerts&#44; Hershey Bears hockey games&#44; and special events&#44; with floor seating and multi-level bowl seating around an end-stage setup.

Question 3

What time should I arrive and when do doors usually open?

Accepted Answer

For a 7:00 PM start&#44; arriving 60–90 minutes early is a smart plan so you have time for parking&#44; walking from the lot&#44; and passing through bag checks and security. Hershey Entertainment information recommends coming early for popular shows because security screening and the walk from the parking lots can take longer on busy nights.

Question 4

How does parking work at GIANT Center?

Accepted Answer

GIANT Center shares a large parking complex with Hersheypark and offers about 10&#44;000 spaces&#44; including accessible parking areas in both Preferred and General Parking lots. Parking costs less if you purchase it online in advance through Ticketmaster; onsite pricing is listed around $35 per vehicle&#44; overnight parking and tailgating are not permitted&#44; and Hersheypark Season Passes do not provide free parking for GIANT Center events.

Question 5

What is the bag policy at GIANT Center?

Accepted Answer

GIANT Center prohibits large bags in line with security best practices&#44; including backpacks&#44; large purses&#44; camera bags&#44; drawstring bags&#44; totes&#44; and suitcases. All bags that are allowed must not exceed about 5 inches by 8 inches by 1 inch and are subject to search&#44; while prohibited bags cannot be stored at the venue&#44; so bringing only a very small clutch or wallet with your essentials is the easiest way to get through security.

Question 6

What other security and guest policies should I know?

Accepted Answer

Hershey Entertainment policies state that guests may not store bags or prohibited items at GIANT Center and that security staff may refuse entry to anyone with non-compliant items. Items such as certain signs&#44; large objects&#44; and other restricted articles are not permitted at some events&#44; so checking the event page and bringing only what you truly need will make your entry smoother.

Question 7

Are outside food, drinks, and re-entry allowed?

Accepted Answer

Venue-wide policies focus on safety and controlled entry&#44; and like most large arenas&#44; GIANT Center does not generally allow outside food and beverages&#44; with a variety of concessions available inside instead. Parking and policy information emphasize that lots do not allow tailgating and that re-entry is typically not permitted&#44; so you should plan to stay inside the arena until you are ready to leave after the show.

Question 8

How much do Nate Bargatze tickets in Hershey usually cost?

Accepted Answer

A local theatre listing shows “prices from” about $98 for the Hershey GIANT Center show&#44; reflecting the cheapest available seats. Across the Big Dumb Eyes tour overall&#44; national pricing data notes that Nate Bargatze tickets can start as low as about $10 in some cities and average around $144&#44; so Hershey’s starting price is somewhat higher than many tour stops&#44; especially for closer floor or lower-bowl seats.

Question 9

How can I get cheaper tickets for Nate Bargatze at GIANT Center?

Accepted Answer

To find cheaper tickets&#44; compare listings across several major ticket sites&#44; sort seats from lowest price first&#44; and look at upper-level or corner sections instead of floor or prime lower-bowl areas. Avoid VIP or add-on packages you do not need&#44; use “show prices with fees” filters to see true all-in costs&#44; and monitor resale marketplaces as May 16 approaches because some sellers drop prices to move extra tickets&#44; giving flexible buyers a chance to grab last-minute bargains.

Question 10

Is it better to buy tickets early or wait closer to the show for deals?

Accepted Answer

If you want specific lower-bowl sections&#44; closer seats&#44; or a block of seats together&#44; buying earlier is safer because the best locations and cheaper tiers can sell out or climb in price. If your priority is saving money and you are flexible about where you sit&#44; watching resale prices over time and being ready to buy in the weeks leading up to May 16 can sometimes lead to lower prices&#44; especially if many seats are still available.
