Pacific Amphitheatre

Backpacks are prohibited, and guests are searched when entering both the fair and amphitheatre. The amphitheatre FAQ does not list a maximum size for other bags.

The amphitheatre normally opens 60–90 minutes before the event. During the fair, enter through a fair admission gate and continue to the amphitheatre; outside fair dates, use the main amphitheatre entrance beside its box office.

Reserved parking is limited and must be bought at least 24 hours before the show; access to that reserved area is through vehicle Gate 4 only. Parking arrangements for concerts outside the annual fair may differ.

The amphitheatre recommends Uber or Lyft for travel to the OC Fair but does not designate a specific pickup curb on its transportation page.

Accessible seats can be reserved through the official ticket channel or OC Fair box office. Assisted listening devices are available in the amphitheatre concourse behind the box office; request an interpreter at least 10 business days ahead.

Food and beverages are sold inside Pacific Amphitheatre and at the OC Fair during fair dates. Outside food and drinks are prohibited in the amphitheatre.

The amphitheatre FAQ says fair guests may return to the fair after a concert, but does not publish a specific policy for re-entering the amphitheatre after leaving it.

During the OC Fair, Etix will-call tickets are available two hours before the event at the amphitheatre box office or fair concert sales booths; bring the confirmation number and photo ID. Outside fair dates, collect will-call tickets at the amphitheatre box office with ID.
