Grandstand has two premium seating options: Reserved and On Stage. If you purchase these items, you do not need to bring a chair to Lifest. See the Premium Seating page for more info. If you decide not to purchase premium seating, you will want to bring a chair for the Grandstand field. Chairs may be placed at approximately 9:00 am each morning. You may not leave your chairs overnight; they will be removed. Please do not bring chairs with umbrellas or anything that will block your neighbor’s view. Chairs should be placed within the painted lines so that aisles remain clear. If a canopy tent is needed for medical reasons, you must place it behind all the chairs so you do not obstruct anyone else’s view. You may not use tarps or large blankets to reserve your seating location. Cafe, KidZone, Quake, and Oasis venues have folding chairs for seating. The Edge Stage is made for dancing and jumping so no chairs are provided here, but there are bleachers along the edge of the venue.
