MONSTER JAM GILLETTE STADIUM – SCOUTS DAY

Monster Jam will return to Foxboro, MA on June 9th and I’m happy to announce that there is once again Girl/Boy Scout pricing available for Girl/Boy Scouts, their friends and family! As long as there is at least one scout in your collective group, all may receive the special scout pricing! Tickets for Girl/Boy Scouts include a special commemorative patch as well as all who purchase scout tickets are invited to “Walk the Track” on the Gillette Stadium field before the show! Please see below instructions on how to purchase tickets:

  • Choose website below of the council your troop is affiliated with. If you are unsure of which council you’re affiliated with, click here for Girl Scouts.
  • Please read ALL of the home page verbiage on the website as it gives specific information that will be useful in planning your day!
  • These purchase pages are specially designed to allow scouts, their friends and family to purchase seats for their individual families yet ALL sit together! The way that it works is one purchaser starts the group. Once they make their purchase, they will receive a special link that they may share to friends and family inviting them to participate! You can share this link with as many friends and family as you like. The bigger your group, the more fun things you can earn including Monster Jam prize packs and pit pass upgrade!
  • Once sales close on June 7th at noon, our team will then go ahead and assign your entire group seats so everyone who purchased under your special link will be able to sit together! This allows you to build a group without the hassle of collecting money and distributing tickets to large groups.
  • Tickets will then be emailed to you within 24-36 hours of show time. When placing your order be sure to double check your email address! Your tickets will bounce back if your email is incorrect.  Please do not panic if you do not get your tickets until the night before the show. The process takes time to ensure everyone sits together.

I think that about covers it for now! Updates on scout activities and patch pick up will be placed on the purchase sites so please keep them handy! Thanks so much and I look forward to another amazing show!
