SAFETY

SCREENING PROCEDURES

For the safety of everyone at Music Hall, all persons entering these venues will walk through a metal detector (magnetometer) and have their bags searched, or be screened with a hand-held metal detector, to search for prohibited items. Oversized bags, luggage, and backpacks will not be permitted inside the venues. Purses and other small personal bags are allowed after a thorough inspection.

These procedures are additional best practices to create a safe and pleasant entertainment experience for all of our guests. These standard screening procedures are similar to those in place at major performing arts venues, arenas, and stadiums locally and across the country.

Exceptions can be made if you have a medical necessity. If so, notify a staff member who can assist you. All bags and jackets are subject to inspection at the entrance.
