Tips before you go
Bags can be no larger than 12 by 12 by 6 inches and don't need to be clear, but backpacks aren't allowed. Guests under 16 need an adult 18 or older, and at most events, children 36 months and under can sit on a lap without a ticket. Concert doors usually open 60 minutes before the show, and there is no re-entry. The AXS box office in The District opens only on event days.
