Frequently Asked Questions and IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RAMBLE GUESTS

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.

Gates open at 6:00, the studio opens at 7:00, show starts at 7:30 and gates close at 9:00. What do we do if we get there after 9:00?
Should you get to the studio after 9:00 and the ticket booth is closed, come into to the studio and advise any of the Helmland security people and they will help you. All attendees must be wearing a pass.

Are photos 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 we guaranteed a seat?
All internet ticket sales are for general seating unless otherwise stated. Where you sit is on a first come, first serve basis. 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".

I purchased tickets and on the evening of the show one person could not make it.
Can I
reschedule or get a refund?

Should you reschedule or cancel for another Ramble date, your ticket(s) can be used for any other show that is not sold out for that current year. These tickets will be for Standing Room Only. You may also exchange your ticket(s) towards merchandise. You will not receive a cash credit.

We have a band and would like to record at Levon Helm Studios.  
Go to the studio page 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.

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 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.
