———————LOCATION
Where are the shows?
It’s at the Stardust Drive-In Theatre in Sharon, ON, just outside of Newmarket, ON.
How many cars fit at the Stardust?
In total, 550 cars. 350 spots are situated in the front two screens (100 of which are in the ‘golden circle’), and 200 cars can view the third screen (which faces the opposite direction). See map.
Do they serve food and beverages at the Drive-in?
Yes! Popcorn, cotton candy, burgers, sandwiches, fries, and other goodies. See full menu here. No alcohol is served; however, there are plenty of soft drinks and MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS (who is also our sponsor!). Contactless payment use preferred over cash.
What if I don’t have a car?
Rent one! We worked out a deal with Enterprise to give an awesome discount, click here.
———————TICKETING
What are the ticket prices?
$125 per car (two people per car) for regular viewing; $75 upgrade per car for ‘golden circle’ stage viewing; $60 per car (two people per car) for ‘obstructed view/screen only’. All ticket purchases must be made in advance for the Drive-In shows. Tickets will be limited to one car/base ticket per order.
Is it all-ages?
Yes. All tickets are priced the same. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
What if there are more than 2 people coming in one car?
You may purchase tickets for extra people in your vehicle (beyond the two people already included in your ticket) for $30 each. Please do not purchase these without knowing there is a ticketed vehicle in which you can attend the event. Patrons who arrive with an individual ticket who are not already in a ticketed vehicle will not be permitted entry.
What if some extra friends decide at the last minute that they want to come in my car?
That’s fine, but you’ll need to purchase those tickets in advance of the show.
How many people are allowed in a car?
There must be a seat and a seatbelt for each person.
Can I reserve a spot next to my friends?
No, it is general admission both inside the premium golden circle and the remainder of the site.
Is there a box office?
No. All tickets must be purchased in advance, including extra passenger tickets. They will be scanned at the gate. Tickets will be available until sellout or 4pm on the day of the show.
Are there restrictions on the size of vehicle permitted?
No vehicles larger than an SUV will be permitted. Larger size vehicles, such as SUVs, minivans, and trucks will be directed to park at the back row of the lot so as to not block the view of other cars. RVs and limousines will NOT be permitted.
What does ‘obstructed view’ mean?
It means screen-only viewing on the third screen. The stage is located between the two front screens, and so most of the cars viewing the back screen will not be able to see the stage. That said, you’ll be closer to the concession and have a great view of the largest screen in the park. The show is designed to be incredible viewing even if you can only see the screen. There are eight cameras, dynamic lighting design and incorporated video elements.
———————SAFETY PROTOCOLS
Can I leave my car during the performance?
Stay in your car except to use washrooms/visit concessions or merch pick up area. You won’t be able to hear the concert very well outside of your car anyway. There will be marshalls on site to enforce the rules! Stand in a social distanced line up (there will be spaces marked to make this easy for you), wear a face covering, and use the hand sanitizer provided (or bring your own!) before and after visiting the concession or the washroom.
Do I have to wear a face covering?
You do not need to wear one in the car, but you must wear one if you leave the car to use the washrooms, concessions or to pick up your merch order. Our crew and marshall staff will be required to wear face coverings. We will not be providing face coverings on site, please bring your own.
How often are the washrooms cleaned?
The Stardust staff disinfect the washrooms every 15 minutes.
For more information, the Stardust’s COVID-19 rules are posted here: premiertheatres.ca/stardust/covid19

How do I broadcast the audio?
Through your FM radio. You will be informed how to do this at the show.
How many cameras will you be using?
It’s an 8-camera shoot, including a drone camera flying overhead. This show is going to be incredible, as the creative community of July Talk have been preparing for it since March. The show will be highly choreographed, with an incredible lighting design and the integration of a wealth of vintage Drive-In commercial snipes in between songs. A full scale multimedia variety show, in the classy vein of July Talk, of course.
Will you be doing other Drive-In shows?
No, just these two.
