Ruoff Music Center to Charge for Parking in 2025

Starting in the 2025 season, Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville will implement a parking fee, charging $20 for general parking passes purchased online in advance and $25 for same-day purchases. This marks the first time since 2002 that attendees will need to pay for parking, with the venue previously including parking costs in ticket prices. The change aims to align Ruoff with other local venues and to manage traffic better during events. VIP and Premier parking options will still be available at higher rates. Additionally, attendees will no longer be allowed to bring personal lawn chairs but can rent chairs for $15. Feedback from community members has been mixed, with some supporting the revenue increase while others express concerns about potential traffic issues.
