As Big As It Gets

American-based Feld Entertainment and leading local promoter, Showtime Management, in association with SuperSport and regional radio media partners East Coast Radio, Kfm 94.5 and JacarandaFM are bringing Monster Truck Juggernaut Monster Jam® to South Africa for the first time ever this year, debuting at Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban on Saturday, 20 April, followed by Cape Town Stadium on Saturday 27 April and ending at FNB Stadium, Johannesburg on Saturday, 04 May 2019. Tickets are on sale exclusively from Computicket, the official Monster Jam SA ticketing agent.

Monster Jam is also known for its pre-show ‘Pit Party’, giving the crowd unprecedented access to the stars of the show. Fans can meet their favourite drivers, get up close to each Monster Jam truck, participate in a variety of fun activities and purchase official Monster Jam merchandise such as flags, t-shirts and hats to show support for their favourite truck, team, and driver. Tickets for the Pit Party cost R150 each. Quantities are limited and available only with an event ticket. A Pit Party ticket is included in the exclusive Premium Lounge tickets at R800 per ticket. The Pit Party is from 1pm to 3:30pm with final entry at 3:00pm.

The larger than life spectacular takes place on specially-designed tracks that optimise mobility so the most recognisable trucks in the world can go head to head in wheelies, donuts, and freestyle competitions pushing the Monster Jam trucks to their limits.
