Tony’s Pizza Events Center’s new clear bag policy goes into effect Thursday.
The new policy will allow for a speedier entry process, improve security and help reduce the contact between staff and patrons upon entry. Clear bags are available at many retailers and the TPEC Box Office.
“The new Clear Bag policy aligns Tony’s Pizza Events Center with Spectra’s safety measures at arenas across the country,” said Susan Trafton, general manager. “Spectra’s goal is to give customers a great experience from start to finish. By implementing the Clear Bag Policy, we anticipate a smoother entry for our guests.”
In addition to the clear bag policy, new options are available for purchasing tickets: Mobile Delivery allows guests to download tickets to their Apple Wallet or Google Pay accounts; the Pick-Your-Own-Seat map will let guests choose where their tickets are located when purchasing online.
Beginning Thursday, approved bags will include clear tote bags up to 12 inches x 12 inches x 6 inches, one-gallon plastic freezer bags, or small purses or clutches not to exceed 8.5 inches x 5.5 inches. Patrons whose bags exceed these dimensions will be asked to return belongings to their vehicles. Along with large bags, prohibited items include, but are not limited to:
• Alcoholic beverages or controlled substances (unless prescribed for the possessor)
• Professional cameras, audio or visual recording equipment, radios, televisions or any other such electronic devices, except when authorized.
• Tri-pods
• Pets (Excluding Service Animals)
• Bottles, either plastic or glass
• Shopping carts
• Strollers or diaper bags
• Cans or coolers
• Outside food or beverage
• Fireworks
• Weapons and dangerous devices of any type
• Items which may be used as a weapon or projectile.
