About Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek

Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek opened in 1991 as Walnut Creek Amphitheatre and has carried several sponsored names over the years, including Alltel Pavilion, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion, and Walnut Creek Amphitheatre. The outdoor venue is operated by Live Nation and is located at 3801 Rock Quarry Road in Raleigh, North Carolina. Its capacity is approximately 20,000, with roughly 7,000 reserved covered pavilion seats and a large open grass lawn.

The venue is a cornerstone of the Raleigh and Triangle summer concert season, regularly drawing major touring acts across rock, country, pop, hip-hop, jam-band, and metal genres. It also hosts touring festivals, family shows, and circus-type events. Dead & Company performed at the venue in June 2018, reflecting the amphitheatre’s long-running place on major touring routes.

The defining fan experience is its relaxed open-air setting: a covered pavilion fronting a broad sloped lawn on a sprawling wooded site.

Location & Transportation

Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek is located at 3801 Rock Quarry Road, Raleigh, NC 27610 — in a suburban and semi-rural area of southeast Raleigh where most visitors arrive by car or rideshare.

Driving and Parking: On-site parking is available. Because the venue is a large amphitheatre with single main road access along Rock Quarry Road, parking lots and exit routes can become heavily congested before and after shows. Arriving early is one of the best ways to avoid backups and make entry smoother.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are common because public transit options are limited. Expect designated pickup areas and post-show waits as large crowds leave the venue at the same time.

Transit: Public transit is limited, and the venue is effectively car-access for most events. There is no direct rail service to the amphitheatre.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is concentrated in downtown Raleigh and near I-40 / US-70, both a short drive from the venue. Staying centrally in Raleigh usually offers the easiest access for out-of-town visitors.

Venue Navigation

Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek is organized around a classic outdoor amphitheatre layout: reserved covered pavilion seating closest to the stage, with a large open grass lawn behind and above it. Understanding whether you have pavilion or lawn seats helps you move through the venue efficiently once you enter.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through the main gates, which typically open about an hour before showtime. From there, separate access leads toward the covered pavilion reserved seating area and the open lawn.

Seating Levels: The covered pavilion contains reserved seating that fans out from the stage, while the rear and side areas transition into the general admission lawn. Concourse areas with concessions and restrooms serve both the pavilion and lawn.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available. Because the venue is an outdoor amphitheatre on sloped terrain, accessible routes are provided to help guests reach the pavilion and lawn areas.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and signage direct patrons to pavilion sections or the lawn. The lawn is a sloped grass area, so comfortable footwear is recommended, especially for walking across grass or uneven ground.

How Much Do Tickets to Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek Cost?

Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from value lawn concerts to high-demand summer headliners.

For lawn and general admission seating at smaller or value shows, tickets can start as low as approximately $25–$50. The lawn is usually the most affordable option and offers the flexible, open-air amphitheatre experience many fans associate with Walnut Creek.

Reserved pavilion seats for mid-tier concerts typically run around $50–$125. These seats place fans under cover and closer to the stage than the lawn, with assigned sections and stronger sightlines.

For high-demand headliners, premium seating, front reserved rows, or pit areas when offered, prices can reach approximately $150 or more. Artist popularity, seat location, day of week, and overall demand all influence final pricing.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing, especially for high-demand summer headliners. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining pavilion, pit, and premium locations can rise.

Getting Ready for Your Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor amphitheatre with sloped lawn seating and single-road access along Rock Quarry Road.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service can be congested with large crowds on site. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Gates typically open about an hour before showtime, and Rock Quarry Road access can create parking and exit congestion. Give yourself extra time before high-demand concerts.
• Wear the right footwear. The lawn is a sloped grass area with uneven ground, so comfortable, weather-appropriate shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress in layers. As an open-air amphitheatre, the venue is exposed to heat, sun, and summer rain. Check the forecast and bring layers or sun protection accordingly.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Most patrons drive or use rideshare, and traffic can slow around arrival and departure as crowds move through the same access routes.
• Know your pavilion or lawn area. A quick look at whether you have pavilion or lawn tickets before arriving helps you head to the correct entry and seating area faster.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
