    Gates will open promptly at 4:00 pm and the first artist hits the stage at 5:30 pm. You don't want to miss any of this year's artists, so be in the house when the excitement begins.
  • Do I need to bring my own chair?
    We've got you covered and a chair will be provided for you inside the Bowl as long as you have a VIP, Reserved, or General Admission ticket that specifies a seat. Standing room only tickets will not be guaranteed a seat. So if you want to avoid the hassel of bringing a chair, no problem. You are free to bring a chair if you wish to use in the lawn/plaza area where there will be no supplied chairs and a limited view of the concert stage.
  • So what do I wear for Purple Rhapsody @ the Bowl?
    Dress to impress or simply just do you! Purple Rhapsody is an upscale event and we're expecting the beautiful people to come out - ladies and men - and represent the style of event we're aiming for. Yes, it's all about the music because this is a concert event, but we love to see our customers showcasing their unique style and flair.
  • Will there be concessions?
    Yes, there will be a variety of great food at the concession stand and vendors selling wine, beer and mixed drinks on site.
  • Can I bring my own food and drinks?
    Please take advantage of the variety of food trucks and wine/adult beverage vendors that will be available. Purple Rhapsody is a great event for an even greater cause - scholarships, so we're asking you to patronize our vendors. If you need to bring your own food due to dietary reasons, we are good with that. Absolutely no outside alcoholic beverages are allowed due to licensing requirements by the City of Sugar Hill for this private event (this event is not part of the City's concert series, but a private event).
  • What do I get with a VIP ticket purchase?
    VIP suite holders will get complimentary dinner (all you can eat), two bottles for the suite from one of our signature beverage sponsors, and Purple Rhapsody SWAG to mark the occasion.
  • What happens if it rains?
    This is an outdoor amphitheater and all shows are rain or shine. If there is inclement weather, please feel free to bring a rain poncho or umbrella (not so big as to obstruct viewing in the Bowl). The show will go on in support of the great cause - Scholarships - but we'll abide by all safety measures.
  • What if I bought a ticket and lost it or could not attend?
    There are no refunds or exchanges available. The good news is that if you purchased your ticket from Purple Rhapsody.org, you can just find your email confirmation and present that at the gate. You will also be listed on our guest list if you purchased online and we can look you up. If you purchased a hard ticket and lost it or decide not to attend, we're unable to execute a refund.
  • Is the Bowl wheelchair accessible

  • Will I be able to see the stage from the lawn area?
