What should you know before a holiday arena show?
The tour is the same in every city, but the rules are set by each venue. Bag limits run from a phone-size clutch at some arenas to 22 x 14 x 9 inches at Madison Square Garden, and many arenas do not allow re-entry once your ticket is scanned. Holiday shows also bring big winter coats, so check whether your venue offers coat check or lets you carry one in.
Open your venue’s Concerto guide before you leave. It has the bag rule, entrances, parking, rideshare pickup and re-entry, each checked against the venue’s own sources and dated.
How do you plan a holiday concert night?
Save your show in Concerto and Your Night puts your venue’s rules, directions and the setlist on one page, with a reminder on the morning of the show. It is free on iPhone and Android.
Going to a show on this list?
