Bag policy
Backpacks and bags larger than 9 by 11 inches must be checked for a fee; security may inspect bags.
Entrances
Each event listing states whether the show is all ages, 18+, or 21+, and all-ages shows end at 10 p.m. Age-restricted entry requires one physical federal or state photo ID; the same page says guests under 18 at an all-ages show do not need ID, while an under-18 guest at an 18+ show must attend with a parent or legal guardian who has a separate ticket. Re-entry is usually not allowed, though some nights door staff allow it for smokers 21 and older, and tickets sold at the door are cash only.
