How can I buy tickets to Monster Jam in Philly?
Unless you're 2 and under, you'll need to pay for the full seat, but you'll only be using the edge.
Tickets start at $29 (before fees) on Ticketmaster.com. It'll cost you more to sit close, with front row seats still up for grabs in the days leading up to the event for $150 each, before fees.
Pit Party pregame tickets start at $20.
How loud might it actually get?
The 5-ton (or more) machines can produce quite a lot of noise. Average noise levels of 95 to 100 A-weighted decibels (dBA) are experienced at monster truck rallies, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Noisy Planet project. "Exposure to sounds that are 85 dBA or louder can damage your hearing and put you at risk for noise-induced hearing loss."
You can bring your own ear protection, or purchase there: "Our concessions staff sells Monster Jam-branded novelty ear protection and disposable ear plugs while supplies last at each event. You may bring your own from home," Monster Jam says in its FAQs.
Luckily, the open air stadium should help some of the noise escape, but not the excitement.
