We have instituted a clear bag policy to provide the most effective, contactless screening possible. All guests will be required to have their bags checked and pass through a metal detector. Metal detectors are an effective method for Event Security to safely screen guests and prevent prohibited items from entering the building. In order to increase the efficiency of these machines, guests are asked to keep the following guidelines in mind when attending an event:

  • Arrive early in preparation for additional security measures
  • Limit the number of personal items brought into the venue in order to expedite the screening process
  • Once in the screening area:
    • Make sure you have your ticket in hand or the Ticketmaster App open to your tickets.
    • Prepare for a clear bag check by Event Security. If you have a diaper bag or medical bag, follow appropriate signage to the proper screening area.
    • Place your cell phone, camera and purse on the screening table and prepare to walk through the metal detector.
  • Guests will be subject to a secondary screening process if the alarm sounds when passing through the walk-through metal detector
  • An alternative security screening is available to guests who are: expectant mothers, wheelchair-bound or have a medical condition
