Words & Music Program Guidelines
Words & Music lawn passes are only valid on date printed, may only be used on the evening of the performance, may not be exchanged for a dated ticket and cannot be sold. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in removal from the program. Tickets are granted on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
Ravinia Ticketholders Ride Free!
In partnership with Metra, all trains on the Union Pacific North Line - running from Chicago (Ogilvie Transportation Center) to Kenosha, WI - will honor Summer 2025 Ravinia tickets as train fares. Guests can show their dated concert ticket for a free train ride to and from the park on the performance date.
