Ty Myers at First Security Amphitheater, Little Rock, Oct 2

In 9 days

Ty Myers plays First Security Amphitheater in Little Rock on Friday, October 2, 2026, with Lanie Gardner and Benny G opening. The venue's own listing puts the show at 7:30 PM, and that matters, because two big ticket sites publish a different time. Two more things will shape your night. Only 1,375 of the 7,000 spots are a fixed seat. And the pit here is standing, which is the opposite of the answer in Baton Rouge the night before.

The show is at 7:30, and two ticket sites have it wrong

Ty Myers plays First Security Amphitheater on Friday, October 2, 2026. Lanie Gardner and Benny G open. The venue’s own listing for this date publishes the show at 7:30 PM, and that is the time to plan around.

It is worth being blunt about why. Five sources publish three different start times for this one show. The venue says 7:30. Ticketmaster, Bandsintown and StubHub say 7:30. But AXS lists it at 8:00 PM, and the feed behind Apple Music and Shazam says 7:00 PM.

Those gaps are big enough to ruin a night. Trust AXS and you arrive thirty minutes into the headline set. Trust Apple and you stand in a park for half an hour wondering where everyone is.

The venue runs the building and publishes the event. Its number wins.

No doors time is out yet, and that is the honest answer

There is no gates or doors time published for this show anywhere on the venue’s site. So this page does not carry one.

Some venues publish a standing rule, something like doors one hour before the show. This one does not. With no rule and no published time, an estimate would just be a guess wearing a confident voice.

The number does exist, it simply lands late. This venue posts a KNOW BEFORE YOU GO notice for each event on its social channels, and those notices carry the gate time. Past shows here have been announced that way, one with gates at 7:00 PM and another listing an early entry at 5:30 PM. Check the venue’s channels in the week of the show.

The pit is standing here, the opposite of last night

If you are doing both Louisiana and Arkansas, read this one twice.

The venue states that pit tickets are standing unless otherwise explicitly stated on the ticketing platform. So the area in front of the stage is a standing pit.

At Baton Rouge the night before, the floor is numbered reserved rows and there is no pit at all. Back to back nights, opposite answers, same tour.

Locals explain why the answer can move. Regulars describe the permanent seats as folding stadium style seats, with temporary seating trucked in and placed on the brick apron in front of the stage for some shows. The front of this room gets rebuilt per event. That is exactly why the venue hedges with that phrase about the ticketing platform, and why you should read your own ticket rather than assume.

Only 1,375 of 7,000 spots are a real seat

The venue publishes both numbers in its own fast facts, and the gap is the most useful thing on the page. Event capacity is 7,000. Fixed seating is 1,375.

About one in five people at a full show is in a permanent seat. Everyone else is on the lawn, or standing in the pit, or in temporary chairs down front. The grounds run to 7 acres.

One more number in the same block deserves attention. The venue says its restrooms can accommodate an attendance of 4,000. That is well short of a full house. Go between sets, not during the headliner.

Blankets are welcome, lawn chairs are not

This is the rule most guides get wrong, because the ban and the permission live on two different pages.

The venue’s general rules list lawn chairs among prohibited items and say nothing else about what you can sit on. Read only that page and you would leave everything at home.

The event page for this show carries the other half: lawn chairs and umbrellas are not permitted, but blankets are welcome. On a lawn ticket that blanket is your whole evening.

The same event page adds something the general rules never mention. This is an outdoor venue with no seats under cover. Not the lawn, not the fixed seats, nothing. The venue tells you to bring a tarp to sit on or a poncho to wear, because events happen rain or shine and there are no rain dates. A touring schedule has no spare day to move a show to.

On umbrellas the two pages disagree slightly. The general FAQ hedges that umbrellas may or may not be allowed and warns you may have to leave them at the door. The event page for your date is flat: not permitted. When a page written for your show contradicts a general page, follow the specific one. Leave the umbrella in the car.

No re-entry, no ATM and no cash is one single problem

Three separate rules here combine into one trap.

Concessions are cashless, cards or mobile payments only. There is no ATM inside the gates. And there is no re-entry once you pass through.

Turn up with only cash and you cannot buy a drink, cannot get money inside, and cannot step out to find a machine. There are ATMs in the River Market District. Sort it before you walk in.

The no re-entry rule is stated three times on the venue’s own page, which tells you how seriously it is taken. The venue explains the reason plainly: it exists to stop people returning to their cars to drink. There is a stated exception, but only with approval from the appropriate gate supervisor, so treat it as a conversation and not a right.

Two knock on effects. Bring any medication in with you. And smoking is banned inside the grounds under the city’s public parks policy, with the venue telling smokers to exit. Exiting collides with no re-entry, so plan on not smoking.

One more thing that surprises people at the bar: buying alcohol requires a physical government issued ID. The venue says photos, screenshots and digital images of IDs will not be accepted.

Park for the exit, not for the entrance

The closest option is the River Market Parking Deck at 2nd Street and River Market Avenue, one block south, with 600 spaces. It is city run, and the published rate is $2 per hour or $20 for a consecutive 24 hours, with a $24 fee if you lose your ticket. The Central Arkansas Library System deck sits just across President Clinton Avenue.

Skip the spaces immediately east and west of the amphitheater. The venue warns they may or may not be available on the day of a show, so they are not something to build a plan around.

Then there is the part no venue publishes. On the Little Rock subreddit, a resident names the real drawback of the nearest deck: it takes a while to get out if everyone is leaving at the same time. The most upvoted reply in that thread is a workaround, and a second local seconds it: park at the Clinton Presidential Library and walk over. It is a longer walk in and a much shorter drive out.

Street parking is the other option, with caveats. Locals report metered parking is free after 6 PM on weekdays, and this is a Friday. But that is a resident’s report, not something published on the pages we could open, so read the sign on the pole before you walk away. Another local in the same thread pushes back on the whole idea, calling plentiful free street parking a profound exaggeration on any night with any kind of event happening downtown. A busy amphitheater show is precisely that. If you do park on the street, downtown meters take payment through the ParkMobile app.

The site that looks official is not the venue

Search for Ty Myers Little Rock tickets and a polished site appears near the top, using the venue’s exact name. It has a rules page, a seating chart and a big ticket button.

Read the footer. It says the site is not affiliated or sponsored by First Security Amphitheater, and calls itself an independent guide linking to a ticket resale marketplace.

The real operator is the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau, the city’s tourism body, which also runs Robinson Center and the Statehouse Convention Center. The venue’s genuine pages sit on the city tourism site, and its event listing links to Ticketmaster.

The lesson generalises well beyond this show. A resale operator can register a domain matching a building’s name; it cannot claim to run the building. The ownership line in the footer is the tell, never the domain.

Worth a last look at the room itself before you buy. The venue’s official seating chart is published only as an image, with no text version anywhere on the site. It shows the stage at one end with the pit directly in front. Behind that sit an inner arc of reserved sections lettered E D C B A and an outer arc lettered J I H G F, with the lawn at the back. Locals rate the first row of the second section as the sweet spot.

Ty Myers in Little Rock — FAQ

Is Ty Myers playing in Little Rock in 2026?

Yes. He plays First Security Amphitheater on Friday, October 2, 2026, with Lanie Gardner and Benny G opening. The venue is in Riverfront Park at 400 President Clinton Avenue, right on the Arkansas River in downtown Little Rock. It is run by the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau, not by a private promoter, which is why the rules live on the city tourism site rather than a venue site. One note on that listing. It calls him an 18 year old country star, which was true when the tour was announced. He was born in July 2007, so he will be 19 by the time he plays here.

What time does the show start?

7:30 PM. Say that plainly, because the internet does not agree on it. The venue's own event listing carries 7:30 PM in its published event data, and Ticketmaster, Bandsintown, StubHub and several listing sites all match. But AXS lists this show at 8:00 PM, and the Apple Music and Shazam feed lists it at 7:00 PM. Those are not small gaps. If you trusted AXS you would walk in half an hour after the headliner started. If you trusted Apple you would stand around for half an hour. The venue operates the building and publishes the event, so its time is the one to plan around.

What time do gates open at First Security Amphitheater?

Not published yet, and we are not going to invent it. No doors or gates time appears anywhere on the venue's site for this date. Some venues publish a general rule like doors one hour before the show. This one does not, so there is no honest basis even for an estimate. Here is the useful part. This venue posts a KNOW BEFORE YOU GO notice for each show on its social channels, and those notices do carry gate times. Other events at this amphitheater have been announced that way with gates at 7:00 PM, and one show listed an early entry at 5:30 PM. So the number exists, it just gets published close to the date. Check the venue's channels in the week of the show.

Is the pit standing, or is it seats like Baton Rouge?

Standing. The venue answers this directly: pit tickets are standing unless otherwise explicitly stated on the ticketing platform. This is worth flagging because it is the exact opposite of the answer at Baton Rouge the night before, where the floor is numbered reserved rows and there is no pit at all. Same tour, back to back nights, opposite floor. Do not carry the assumption from one to the other. There is a reason the answer can move. Locals who have been to shows here describe the fixed seats as folding stadium style seats, with temporary seating trucked in and set on the brick apron in front of the stage for some events. So the area in front of the stage is not a permanent room feature, it is built per show, which is why the venue hedges with that phrase about the ticketing platform.

How big is the venue, and will I actually get a seat?

Probably not a fixed one. The venue publishes both numbers, and the gap is the story: event capacity 7,000 but fixed seating 1,375. That means only about one in five people at a full show is in a permanent seat. Everyone else is on the lawn at the back, or in the pit or temporary seating down front. The grounds are 7 acres. One more number worth knowing before you plan your night around a restroom queue: the venue says its restrooms can accommodate an attendance of 4,000, which is well short of a 7,000 capacity crowd. Go before the headliner, not during.

Can I bring a lawn chair or a blanket?

Blanket yes, lawn chair no. This is the single most missable rule on this page, because the permission and the ban are not on the same page as each other. The venue's general rules list lawn chairs as a prohibited item and stop there. The event page for this specific show is the only place that adds the other half: lawn chairs and umbrellas are not permitted but blankets are welcome. If you only read the venue rules you would think all seating gear was banned and leave the blanket at home. On a lawn ticket, that blanket is your entire evening. The same event page also says something the venue rules never mention: this is an outdoor venue with no seats under cover. Not the lawn, not the fixed seats. Nothing is covered.

What about umbrellas if it rains?

Leave them in the car, and bring a poncho instead. The venue says two slightly different things here, so it is worth untangling. The general FAQ hedges: umbrellas may or may not be allowed into the park, so be prepared to leave them at the door. The event page for this show is flat: umbrellas are not permitted. When a page written for your specific date contradicts a general page, the specific one wins. The venue's own advice is to bring a tarp to sit on or a rain poncho to wear. And the show happens either way. Events take place rain or shine, and the venue explains why there are no rain dates: a touring performer's schedule has no spare day to move to.

Can I use cash inside?

No, and this venue combines that with two other rules in a way that can strand you. Concessions are cashless and take cards or mobile payments only, which the event page states and the general venue page does not. There is no ATM inside the gates. And there is no re-entry once you are through the gate. Put those three together: if you turn up with only cash, you cannot buy anything, you cannot get money inside, and you cannot leave to find an ATM and come back. There are ATMs out in the River Market District, so sort it out before you walk in. Payment rules change a lot between stops on this run, which is why there is a tour wide answer on the FAQ page.

Is there really no re-entry?

Correct, and the venue states it three separate times, which tells you how firmly it is enforced. Once you are in, you are in for the night. The venue explains the reason: the policy exists to stop people going out to their cars to drink. It does allow that some exceptions will be made, but only with approval from the appropriate gate supervisor, so it is a conversation at the gate rather than a right. Two practical consequences. Bring any medication in with you. And note that smoking is banned inside because city policy bans smoking in public parks, so the venue tells smokers to exit the grounds. Exiting to smoke runs straight into the no re-entry rule, so plan on not smoking.

What size bag can I bring?

Bags and purses up to 14 by 14 by 6 inches are fine. Anything bigger is refused, and the venue names backpacks, large bags, suitcases and luggage specifically. There is no clear bag requirement here, which is a genuine relief compared to several other stops on this tour where only a clear tote gets in. All guests walk through a metal detector and all bags are inspected. A few prohibited items catch people out because they do not feel like contraband: laptops, tablets and iPads, GoPros and selfie sticks, professional cameras, audio and video recorders, frisbees, balloons, laser pointers, and signs, flags and banners. Outside food and drink is not allowed at all.

Where should I park?

Park for the exit, not for the entrance. The closest option is the River Market Parking Deck at 2nd Street and River Market Avenue, one block south of the amphitheater, with 600 spaces. It is city run and the published rate is $2 per hour or $20 for a consecutive 24 hour period, with a $24 fee if you lose your ticket. The Central Arkansas Library System deck is just across President Clinton Avenue. Be careful with the spaces immediately east and west of the amphitheater: the venue itself warns they may or may not be available on the day of a show, so do not build your plan around them. Now the part the venue will not tell you. On the Little Rock subreddit, a local notes the catch with the nearest deck is that it takes a while to get out if everyone leaves at once. The most upvoted answer in that thread is a workaround: park at the Clinton Presidential Library and walk to the amphitheater, which a second local separately agrees with. Treat that as community advice rather than a venue rule.

Is street parking free at night?

Locals say metered parking is free after 6 PM on weekdays, and October 2 is a Friday, so that would apply. Two cautions before you rely on it. First, this is a resident's report and not something the venue or the city publishes on the pages we could open, so read the sign on the pole before you walk away from the car. The sign is what counts if the hours have changed. Second, another local pushes back hard on the idea that spaces are easy to find, calling the claim that there is plenty of free street parking a profound exaggeration on any night with any kind of event happening downtown. A sold out amphitheater show is exactly that kind of night. If you do use an on street space, the city's downtown meters accept payment through the ParkMobile app.

The site that looks official is not the venue. How do I tell?

A third-party ticket guide uses the venue's exact name and presents rules, a seating chart, and a ticket button. Its footer says this site is not affiliated or sponsored by First Security Amphitheater and describes it as an independent guide linking to a ticket resale marketplace. The real operator is the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau, whose venue pages live at littlerock.com, and the official event listing links to Ticketmaster. Check the footer and ownership statement rather than assuming a matching domain belongs to the venue.

I need accessible seating. How do I arrange it?

Ask for it when you buy, not afterwards. The venue is wheelchair accessible and its restrooms are wheelchair accessible, and it states that wheelchair seating can be requested at the time tickets are purchased. That phrasing matters. There is no published process for adding an accessible seat to a ticket you already own, so buying first and asking later is the thing to avoid. For anything else, the River Market office handles venue questions. If you lose something at the show, items are taken to that office and you can reach security on (501) 370-3257, Monday to Friday.

Do I need a ticket for my child?

Yes, for everyone. The event page for this show is unambiguous: everyone must have a ticket, regardless of age. There is no lap infant exception and no age below which entry is free. This one is easy to miss because it does not appear in the venue's general rules at all, only on the listing for this date, and plenty of amphitheaters do let small children in free. Buy the extra ticket.

What is the venue like, and is the sound any good?

It is an open air amphitheater in a downtown park on the bank of the Arkansas River, with a canopy over the stage, a block of fixed folding seats, and a grass lawn behind them. The venue calls itself Central Arkansas's premier outdoor concert venue. Local opinion is warm but not uncritical. Regulars on the Little Rock subreddit call it a pretty good venue and describe the best seats as the first row of the second section, though one adds the obvious caveat that it is weather dependent. In the same thread another local passes on a second hand claim that the stage is poor for audio, and a third replies that they have not been back since the canopy was replaced. So the sound complaint is both unverified and possibly out of date. Worth knowing the conversation exists, not worth treating as fact.
