Tips & Advice
- Buy your tickets online ahead of time to save a little and skip the box office lines outside the show entrance.
- The venue is cashless with no ATM on-site, so bring a card and expect some vendors to set their own payment rules.
- Leave strollers in the lobby stroller parking if you shop during VIP or Early Bird hours, because none are allowed on the floor then.
- Use the free package check as you go so you can shop each aisle without carrying bags, and ask staff for help to your car.
- First responders, healthcare workers, military and veterans should bring valid ID on Sunday to get in free for Hero Day.
