Plan Your Visit to Premium Tailgate at Eastern Market Shed 2

Location & Getting There

The organizer identifies Eastern Market Shed 2 at 1445 Adelaide Street, Detroit, MI 48207 as the location. Use that address for this hospitality gathering, rather than navigating directly to Ford Field. Check the confirmation for the precise meeting point and any event-specific arrival instructions.

Parking is not included in the tailgate pass. Arrange it separately and check the terms for the chosen facility. A product described as a tailgate listing is not automatically a vehicle parking pass, even when the gathering uses a parking-area setting.

Event Format & Timing

The organizer describes parties beginning four hours before Lions kickoff, with food, drinks, DJ entertainment and tailgate games. Use the confirmation for the exact game and date, since a changed kickoff can affect pregame plans. This is a hospitality gathering rather than a fixed-seat performance venue.

It is important to understand that admission to the Premium Tailgate does not include an NFL game ticket or parking pass. Guests planning to attend the Lions game at Ford Field must purchase game tickets separately. The tailgate serves as a pregame gathering only, and attendees are responsible for their own arrangements to enter Ford Field and park vehicles.

Amenities & Offerings

The advertised package includes food, beer, bloody marys, select spirits, soft drinks, DJ entertainment and games. Check the exact event’s inclusions rather than assuming every offering remains identical throughout the season. The gathering uses an outdoor setting, so plan clothing for the weather and ask the organizer about any weather-related changes.

Ticketing & Customer Support

Premium Tailgate events are organized and ticketed through ThunderTix. Guests who purchase tickets receive confirmation and can request ticket resends if needed. For questions or assistance, the organizer provides customer support at (866) 312-9295. Ticket buyers should review their confirmation details carefully, as the pass grants entry only to the tailgate event, not to Ford Field or any parking facility.
