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!

We’ve added a few new security measures to improve the overall concert experience and ensure your safety. 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.

At each of our entrance gates, there are walk-through metal detectors similar to those used in most stadiums and arenas. As you pass through the metal detectors, bags, hats, phones, belts, cameras, smart watches and other large metal objects will need to removed and shown to our Event Staff.

Bag & Purse Policy

No bags or purses larger than 8.5" x 11" (the size of a standard size piece of paper) will be allowed into the venue. Bags will be measured at the gate and must fit within this requirement.
Clear, NFL Approved bags are permitted.
A medically necessary bag is only permitted when the medical contents will not fit within an 8.5"x11" bag.
Following standard safety protocol, all unattended items and bags outside the gates or within the venue will be removed from the facility immediately.
Picnics for performing arts shows must comply with the bag size restrictions or be contained in original packaging. Examples: takeout containers, pizza within a pizza box or chips in original sealed packaging.
All bags, regardless of size or type are subject to a search.
Bags, purses or backpacks or any kind will not be accepted by Pavilion Info Booths.
Please Note: some shows will not allow any bags. For information on these shows please check the designated event page for your show.
