Pavilion Rules

We want all of our guests to have a phenomenal experience at The Pavilion. Our rules and regulations exist to help keep our guests safe and to ensure that everyone enjoys the show!

Make sure you arrive at The Pavilion with plenty of time to take your seats before the show starts. It’s always a good idea to give yourself some extra time to park, pass through security and find your seat. Please note that transactions are now cashless.

At each of our entrance gates, there are walk-through metal detectors. New in 2023 - at most entrances, guests do not need to remove items from their pockets to pass through, unless requested to do so by Event Staff.

Clear bags sized 12” x 12” or smaller are permitted.
- Tinted bags or bags with printed patterns are not accepted.
Non-clear handheld clutches sized 4.5” x 6.5” or smaller are permitted.
Bags for medical equipment (sized appropriately to the size of the equipment) are permitted, but will be subject to search, i.e. small items like medication need to follow the standard bag policy above.
Diaper bags (accompanied by infant/toddler) are permitted, but will be subject to search.
Following standard safety protocol, all unattended items and bags outside the gates or within the venue will be removed from the facility immediately.
Bags, purses or backpacks of any kind will not be accepted by Pavilion Info Booths.
