T-Mobile Center Entry Rules: Bags, Water, Food and Cameras

Outside food and beverages are not allowed, and bottles, cans, coolers and containers are on the prohibited list. Gifts and flowers have to be unwrapped or in a gift bag and are collected at security screening, though that can vary by event.

Non-professional still cameras are permitted at most events, but only outside any case or bag. Restrictions on still and video cameras vary by event and are set by the event producer. Professional photography, video recording of any kind and flash photography are prohibited at all times, and so are GoPro-type cameras, selfie sticks and cameras with detachable lenses.

Laptops are prohibited, and so are iPads and similar tablets larger than 7 inches. The guide does not mention power banks or drones.

Strollers may not be brought into the seating sections, aisles or onto the escalators. Guests who bring a stroller can check it in at Guest Services in Sections 103 and 205. For most concerts and events everyone needs a ticket regardless of age.

Umbrellas with spike-like points are prohibited, and the guide names no other umbrella rule. Chairs of any kind are prohibited, folding and collapsible ones included. The guide does not mention blankets or seat cushions.

Banners, flags and signs cannot exceed 11 by 17 inches, and some shows may not allow any signs. Poles, sticks or dowels are not permitted, signs that block a view are removed, and inappropriate content can be confiscated. Artificial noisemakers, frisbees, beach balls, balloons and spurs are prohibited. Masks are permitted but must come off at security and alcohol sales, apart from medical or religious items.

Medical bags are screened and tagged by security. The arena is ADA compliant, and its Guest Services page covers wheelchair escorts, accessible seating, service animals and assistive listening devices.

Re-entry is not allowed once your ticket has been scanned. T-Mobile Center and the artist can add prohibited items and limit the size of signs, and security can confiscate anything that may cause danger or disruption.

The guide does not describe bag storage or lockers, apart from stroller check-in at Guest Services in Sections 103 and 205.

The guide says camera and sign rules vary by event and are set by the event producer, and that some shows allow no signs. Check your event page, and contact the arena before bringing a camera.
