What can you bring in how big can ur purse be and how about your phone

Emily Durham | Oct 18, 2018
Shannon Reifsteck | Oct 18, 2018

No outside alcohol, drugs, weapons, or large bags. You can bring in cigarettes and ecigs, but you cant use them inside. All bags will be searched and you will likely be patted down and/or wanded.

Can someone who is under 18 get into an 18+ show if they are accompanied by someone older than 18?

Robbie Arnett | Oct 18, 2018
Michael | Oct 18, 2018

21+ is 21+ I very highly doubt they'll be flexible. Metro's staff is fantastic and if there's any workaround at all they'll know. Maybe contact the promoter and see about them making that artist's next visit 18+ or all ages

I have a 14 year-old son who plays guitar and loves the Toadies. I see they're playing in October. If I bought tickets, would he be able to attend the show with me, his aduklt parent?

Aaron Buss | Mar 21, 2022
Damaris Rodriguez | Mar 21, 2022

I think so! They allow people under 18 and I saw a toddler there when I went.

Are they actively checking vaccination dates? My second dose is on November 19th!

Amir Chrayah | Nov 21, 2021
WELI ENDELEY | Nov 21, 2021

They checked our cards. I don't know if they were checking dates .

Planning on coming up from Florida’s to see Phoebe Bridgers in December with my daughter. Flying in for a few days, at this point does management predict any cancellations for this specific concert?

Sheila Salg | Nov 21, 2021
WELI ENDELEY | Nov 21, 2021

No cancellation as far as I know. Just wear your mask and have your vaccination card ready. Cheers Sheila 😃

Alyssa VanWerden | Oct 17, 2021
Aaron Taylor | Oct 17, 2021

Picture was good for me, but keep an eye on their website before you go for Covid measures just in case anything changes in the future

Do they accept a negative covid test rather than a vax card?

Evan Arnold | Oct 17, 2021
M. Devoid | Oct 17, 2021

This is on an event by event basis. Negative test wouldn't have worked for a recent event hosted there.

My crazy girls want to line up early for Billie Eilish - what is ‘early’ ! Is it tonight ? Tomorrow morning ? 3pm ? Or just when the doors open ?

sharon dane | Oct 18, 2019
Jennifer Gaag | Oct 18, 2019

This venue is quite small, and people move around a lot because the view is good from about anywhere, so no need to get there super early to stake out a spot. If they're dead set on getting in line early, I'd say no more than an hour before doors. I don't know this band, however, so not sure how fanatical the fans are. Standing in line can be fun and social, but this weekend is chilly.

Do people line up the night before shows? Does Metro even allow people to line up the night before (I hope not as I am bringing Tweens with me to the Billie Eilish show).

Susan Lundy | Oct 18, 2018
Tommy Lood | Oct 18, 2018

No. It's a smaller venue so kinda pointless to get there the night before

what's the area around this place like at night? is it well lit or kind of dim? is it especially ""dangerous"" or just a normal "Make Sure You Bring A Group" area?

Tayler Hughson | Oct 18, 2018
John Beckman | Oct 18, 2018

Lots of restaurants south of the venue with many people. More residential and quiet on the north side. Very safe with all the people and enterences to duck into. North maybe a little dark at night and seem intimidating, but all safe.

On average what time does an 18 and over show usually end? 2 bands 9 pm start. I'm trying to figure out whether to drive or if I'd have time to catch a 12:50 train back.

Mike Ramirez | Oct 18, 2017
Jason Jockomo Cares | Oct 18, 2017

That's one of the hardest parts of Adulting, leaving shows early while all your friends are still having fun. I suggest trying to sleep at a friend's and catch a train in the morning.
