A Seamless Ride to One of America’s Most Scenic Venues
Starting at 3:00 pm in Denver, your private chauffeur will pick you up in a luxurious Suburban. This isn’t just transportation—it’s a chance to unwind before the excitement of the evening. We found that the comfort of having your own private vehicle is a real plus, especially after a day of travel or sightseeing. No need to juggle parking or deal with crowded shuttles; instead, you’ll enjoy a personalized transfer tailored to your schedule.
The journey itself offers a chance to enjoy scenic views as you head toward Red Rocks. Whether you’re coming from Denver proper or the foothills, the route is part of the experience. The luxury vehicle comfortably fits up to four people, making it ideal for small parties or intimate groups seeking exclusivity and convenience.
The Upscale Tailgate: Gourmet or Grill
Once at Red Rocks, the true fun begins. The package includes a choice between a gourmet charcuterie board—laden with artisanal cheeses, cured meats, fresh fruits, and premium snacks—or a BBQ feast where you can grill high-quality meats and veggies outdoors.
This is not your typical stadium snack setup. Instead, you’ll enjoy curated, high-end offerings designed to elevate the pre-show experience. Imagine sipping a favorite drink, chatting with friends, and soaking in the stunning natural amphitheater views. We loved the fact that there’s a relaxed, social vibe—kind of like a private picnic with all the comforts of a restaurant.
The concert essentials backpack provided includes a blanket, rain ponchos, water bottles, and snacks, so you’re well-prepared regardless of the weather. Plus, the inclusion of comfortable chairs and a table creates a cozy setting, allowing you to settle in and enjoy your food and drinks before the music begins.
Entertainment and Games
Adding to the fun are games like Corn Hole, Beer Pong, and table ring toss—small touches that turn a typical tailgate into a lively outdoor gathering. These activities keep everyone engaged and add a playful element to your evening, making it perfect for groups of friends or families who like a bit of friendly competition.
The Concert Experience (or Not)
Note that tickets are not included—so you’ll need to plan your concert or show separately. We recommend booking your tickets well in advance, especially for popular events. The package is designed to enhance your experience, not replace your concert plans.
Post-Show Comfort and Snacks
After the music ends, the fun continues. The team will provide munchies—sweet treats, salty snacks, or a light bite—tailored to your preferences. This thoughtful touch ensures you won’t be left hungry after the show, and it makes the ride home more relaxing.
The return trip in your private vehicle is just as smooth as the ride in—comfortable seats, bottled water, and perhaps some leftover snacks make the journey back feel like a true end to a special evening.
Practical Details and Value
At $699 for a group of four, this experience offers significant value. When you consider the cost of private transportation, premium snacks, and the convenience of having everything arranged, it’s a compelling package—especially for those who dislike the hassle of logistics or want a more luxurious experience.
The flexibility of a 4 to 8-hour window means you can tailor the outing to your preferences. Whether you want a quick evening or a more leisurely night, the schedule can adapt. The free cancellation policy adds reassurance, allowing you to change plans if needed.
