Welcome to the annual, Saturday morning, member pre-sale rush for tickets to the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park summer concert series.
Within a little more than two hours today, tickets for 11 of the 34 concerts in the 2025 amphitheater series had sold out to Meijer Gardens members, starting with the Sept. 5 concert featuring bluegrass star Alison Krauss & Union Station (featuring Jerry Douglas with Willie Watson), with those tickets selling out within a half-hour.
Other first-day sellouts for shows at the 1,900-capacity amphitheater include the opening May 30 concert featuring The Head and The Heart, Train and Edwin McCain on Aug. 3, Cheap Trick on Aug. 11, Rick Springfield on June 15, The Revivalists on June 18, CAKE on Aug. 17, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue on July 13, O.A.R. on July 16, Andy Grammer on Aug. 18, and Vance Joy on Sept. 11.

And online comments from ticket buyers were mostly positive this year, with concertgoers saying things proceeded far more smoothly this year via the AXS.com ticketing system.
“I will say, process super smooth,” Jack Clark wrote on Facebook. “One show at a time, but otherwise AXS was great this time.”
Added Laurie Schaal: “This was so much easier this year. Thanks for working out the kinks.”
Tickets went on sale to Meijer Gardens members at 9 a.m. today (April 19), with sales of remaining tickets available to the general public starting at 9 a.m. April 26 via AXS.com/MeijerGardens – the same platform used by Meijer Gardens last year when many buyers experienced delays and glitches.
“Improvements in the ticket purchase process allowed more members to have access to purchase tickets this year by switching to a show-by-show checkout process,” said John VanderHaagen, Meijer Gardens’ director of communications, “and total sales are on par with previous years averages. There were 11,000 members in the AXS queue when it opened at 9 a.m., and traffic flowed smoothly considering our limited inventory and high demand.”
