Ruoff Music Center Ends Popular Lawn Ticket Deal: Hoosier Concertgoers Are Not Happy

We love our outdoor concert venues in Indiana. And whether you still call it Deer Creek or its current name, you will be paying more to see concerts this summer at Ruoff Music Center.

Live Nation Discontinues Lawn Pass: What Indiana Concertgoers Need to Know

For years, the Live Nation Lawn Pass has been a staple for music enthusiasts, offering an affordable way to enjoy a season's worth of concerts at venues like Indiana's Ruoff Music Center. Priced at $239 in 2024, the pass granted access to over 40 shows, making it a favorite among fans. However, in a recent announcement, Live Nation revealed that the Lawn Pass program will not return for the 2025 concert season.

In a social media post, Live Nation shared:

"We are working on new and exciting programs for the summer concert season. While there will not be a Lawnie Pass program in 2025, previous Lawnies will be the first to hear about these new offerings."

The company expressed gratitude to the Lawnie community and hinted at upcoming initiatives to enhance the concert experience.

More Changes at Ruoff Music Center

The end of the Lawn Pass isn't the only change affecting concertgoers at Ruoff Music Center. Starting in 2025, attendees will need to purchase a parking pass for each vehicle, a departure from previous years when parking fees were included in the ticket price. Additionally, personal chairs are no longer permitted on the lawn; instead, lawn chairs are available for rent at $8 if purchased in advance.
