This is the only concert of the year where Mountain View residents cannot take advantage of the resident ticket program to purchase tickets in advance. However, for other concerts Mountain View residents must get a resident identification card first at the box office. To do so they need to bring a photo ID and provide proof of residency, like a utility bill. Once they have the card, residents can stop by on resident ticket sale days—usually the two-days before the tickets go on sale—from 12 p.m. 2 p.m. After the pre-sale, residents can purchase during the regular box office hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
