Frequently Asked Questions

Is Parking Included in the Ticket?

Yes, plenty of on-site parking is available at the Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre, included with your ticket purchase. The venue offers parking lots and nearby street parking, with additional options at nearby garages in Red Bank. Parking passes may be available for purchase through Vivid Seats for specific events, and costs vary based on proximity to the venue. Arrive early (30–60 minutes before the event) to secure a spot, especially for high-demand shows. Check the venue’s website (www.thebasie.org) for detailed parking information and restrictions, such as tailgating rules, which are generally prohibited.

Where Are the Best Seats at Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre?

The best seats depend on your preferences and budget. For the closest and most immersive experience, choose Orchestra seats, particularly in the center section (e.g., Orchestra Row D, Seat 10), which offer excellent sightlines and proximity to the stage. Loge seats, especially center rows, provide a great balance of view and cost, ideal for those seeking elevated sightlines without premium prices. Balcony seats are best for a broader perspective, perfect for productions with elaborate set designs, though they are farther from the stage. The venue’s intimate size (1,543 seats) ensures no seat is truly bad, but Orchestra and Loge center seats are often considered the best for unobstructed views and acoustics. Book early for popular events, as these seats sell out quickly.

Are There Any Age Restrictions?

Age restrictions at the Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre vary by event. Most concerts, comedy shows, and theater productions are all-ages, but some performances (e.g., comedy shows with mature content) may have age limits, such as 16+ or 21+, especially if alcohol is served. Children typically require a ticket, though some family-oriented shows (e.g., Disney Junior Holiday Party) may offer discounts or free entry for young children with a paying adult. Check the specific event listing on Live Nation, the box office, or resale platforms for age requirements. A valid ID is recommended for all attendees, especially for alcohol purchases or age-restricted events.

What Time Do Doors Open?

Doors typically open 90 minutes to two hours before events, and attendees should arrive 30–60 minutes early to account for parking and security checks.
