Frequently Asked Questions and IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RAMBLE GUESTS

Can tickets be purchased from sources other than Levon Helm Studios?
NO, Midnight Ramble tickets are sold ONLY by Levon Helm Studios. Tickets purchased elsewhere WILL NOT be honored.

What time should we get there?
As of 2/1/12 Gates open at 7:00pm, (not before) and show starts at 8:pm.
Should you get here before 7pm you will be asked to turn around and come back at 7pm.
We need to get trucks and equipment down the driveway and it can't be blocked. DO NOT park along Plochmann Lane, waiting for 7pm gate opening. Respect our neighbors as we do, please.

Are we guaranteed a seat?
All ticket sales are for general seating unless otherwise stated. Once seating is sold out we will sell
"Standing Room Only Tickets" (same price) and it will state that in the shopping cart prior to your
ordering. At times you will be prompted to call the studio to order "Standing Room Only Tickets".
We do not have handicapped section, however the this section is available for wheelchairs ONLY. Please contact Tony (tony@levonhelm.com) or Geanine (geanine@levonhelm.com) one week before the Ramble you will be attending.

What is your Cancellation Policy?
Please be advised, any Ramble tickets purchased for shows as of February 1, 2012 will be final! There will be NO REFUNDS, TICKET SWITCHING or RAIN-CHECKS. You may exchange your ticket(s) toward merchandise ONLY. All canceled or switched tickets prior to February 1, 2012 will be honored.

Can we bring our own chairs?
Absolutely not, we have very limited space available.

May I have Levon's autographed at the Ramble?
Sorry, no. It would not be fair to all the other people at the show and it would also interfere with his performance.

Are photos/cell phones allowed?
You may take photos outside, but photos are forbidden in the studio. You will not be allowed in with a camera. Please make sure your cell phones are off and do not open them during the show.

Are children allowed and how much are tickets?
Children are most welcome...
For regular Midnight Rambles: 12 and under 1/2 price, 2 and under free.
For special Rambles: Full price for all. You will see "no comps" or "no guest list" for these special shows listed on our schedule.
Tickets for children can be purchased by calling The Studio at 845-679-2744.

Is food provided at The Rambles?
No, we do not serve food. However we encourage everyone to bring food or a side dish for our community table for all to share. It's lots of fun!!

Do you serve alcohol?
Alcohol is NOT made available by Levon Helm Studios. If you bring alcohol or a cooler, they need to be kept in your cars. We have zero tolerance for intoxication. If you or any member of your party appears to be intoxicated and/or becomes disruptive or loud, you will be asked to leave by cab at your expense. We’re all about the music and about respecting Levon’s home and property. We encourage a fun, clean, family atmosphere. Levon Helm Studios accepts no responsibility and we will not refund ticket money to those who have been asked to leave.

Is food and drink allowed in the studio?
No, we do not allow food upstairs in the studio.  Again, this is because we want to show respect for Levon’s personal residence and we don’t want any distractions during the show.  We do, however, allow water and plastic cups upstairs during the show, but ask that everyone be cognizant about spillage.  HOLD ONTO YOUR CUPS or WATER BOTTLES and please don’t place it on the floor or on the railings.  Please dispose of your garbage in the receptacles provided throughout the studio so that “Team Levon” isn’t here until the wee hours of the morning, cleaning up. Much like State Park regulations, we ask you to abide by the rule – “if you brought it in, please bring it out”.  

I have a RV and would like to spend the night in the studio's parking field.
Sorry, we have no facilities for RVs and our insurance forbids camping out on the property.

We have a band and would like to record at Levon Helm Studios.  
Go to The Studio link on the web site and fill out the contact form.

May I send a CD to Levon to listen to?  Can I send him items to be autographed?
Levon Helm Studios cannot be responsible for unsolicited items sent to us.  We receive voluminous requests and it’s become impossible to accommodate everyone. 

I'm a musician and would like to sit in on a jam session.
Sorry, The Midnight Ramble is not a jam session and the shows are planned in advance with Levon and the band members.

How can I stay up-to-date with what's going on at the studio and when?
Subscribe to The Levon Helm Studios Newsletter.

What should I wear to the Ramble?
Dress casually and comfortably. You will be parking in a sparsely-lit field so leave your best shoes home. This is Woodstock – be comfortable!

If you still have questions email geanine@levonhelm.com or tony@levonhelm.com and they will be able to help you.
