There are a limited number of ADA tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Parking
Guests with a state disability placard or license plate may park in the designated area in selected parking lots on a first-come, first-served basis. The closest lot to the concert venue is the Otter Lot at Phinney Ave. N. and N. 55th St.
ADA parking spots fill up quickly so guests are also welcome to use the Otter parking lot to drop off individuals with disabilities or anyone unable to walk from the parking area to the venue.
Staff & Volunteers are available to assist with questions and directions at any time.
Location of Seats
- The ADA reserved area is located on the West side of the meadow.
- Please note that chairs are not provided in this section.
- All chairs are welcome in the ADA section.
- If you would prefer not to sit in the designated ADA area, you are welcome to sit anywhere on the meadow in a low-backed chair or blanket or in the designated high-back chair area at the back of the meadow.
Concert tickets do not include regular zoo admission. The concert ticket only allows admission to the performance. If you would like to visit the zoo before the concert, you will need to purchase a separate admission ticket at zoo gates.
Purchasing Tickets
Tickets for BECU ZooTunes presented by Carter Subaru are available for purchase online at www.zoo.org/zootunes. Credit cards are the only form of payment accepted for online ticket purchases (Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover). To avoid problems with counterfeit, stolen, or voided tickets, guests should make their purchase through Etix.com, Lyte, or artist fan websites.
Ticket Refunds
Woodland Park Zoo does not offer returns or exchanges on any ticket purchases. Tickets are non-refundable except in the event of a cancellation, and then tickets are refundable at the original point of purchase only. For sold out shows, Lyte provides a fan-to-fan ticket exchange service.
Lost Tickets
If you purchased your tickets directly from Woodland Park Zoo’s online ticketing system, you can reprint your own lost tickets in advance of the show by going to Etix and logging in to your account. If you arrive at zoo gates on the day of your concert without your electronic ticket printed or on your mobile device, please proceed to the Will Call desk at the West Gate with a valid ID and we will be able to confirm your purchase.
Woodland Park Zoo does not sell any tickets to third party ticket distributors and can verify tickets that were purchased only through Etix or Lyte. Therefore, it is suggested that you purchase all of your ZooTunes tickets from Woodland Park Zoo through Etix or Lyte.
Day of Show Tickets
If a concert is not sold out, you may purchase tickets online until approximately 8:00 p.m. on the day of the show. Please keep in mind that most concerts end at approximately 8:30 p.m., so check in advance to make sure there are still tickets available and get here early so you can enjoy the majority of the show.
Child Tickets
As of 2021, we have changed our child policy. A ticket is required for children three years of age and older (no exceptions). Children, two years of age and under, do not require a ticket to attend ZooTunes, provided they sit on the lap of an accompanying adult.
Member Ticket Pre-Sale
The member online-only pre-sale starts two days before the general on-sale. Make sure to renew your membership early and opt in to receive emails to qualify.
Call or email our membership office for assistance with member pre-sale at 206.548.2425 or membership@zoo.org. If you have already purchased your tickets and have questions about your tickets, please contact concerts@zoo.org.
If you misuse the ZooTunes member pre-sale benefit (buying tickets for resale at a higher market value or beyond the specified limits), you will no longer receive zoo emails for the duration of the ZooTunes pre-sale season.
Member Line
The interior line is for ZooTunes ticket holders who have either a valid Zoo membership OR daily admission tickets to the Zoo. You must have either tickets or a membership, and may not bring friends with you who are not ticketed.
Members MUST be in the inner line before 4:15pm. After 4:15pm, members will be required to join the general admission outer-lines at West and South gates.
The interior line is located inside the West Gate Plaza and forms along the concrete barricade directly across from Guest Services West, next to the Penguin exhibit.
