ELECTRONIC DEVICES & PROHIBITED ITEMS

To help ensure the enjoyment of all audience members, we recommend customers bring with them only essential electronic items.  In most instances the promoter will allow small fixed lens cameras, set in still image mode, however we advise customers contact the Box Office prior to arrival to ascertain what the policy will be for the show.

Please note that the M&S Bank Arena is unable to permit the following electronic devices and may be required to extend this on an event by event basis:

•  Professional-type cameras fitted with a detachable zoom lens and/or tripod (with the exception of officially accredited photographers covering the event)
• Devices which permit streaming, video or audio recording
• Tablet devices of any size
• GoPro! or similar devices
• Any other electronic device with camera and/or filming capability

Mobile phones are permitted into the venue but customers may be requested to turn these off or refrain from capturing images by the promoter.  Disruption to other audience members through the continued use of electronic devices, including mobile phones, may result in the ticketholder being removed from the venue.

For the health and safety of audience members, ‘selfie-sticks’ and/or similar devices are not permitted into the venue.

M&S Bank Arena discourages people from bringing banners, posters and flags to any events. We may on occasion permit A4 sized posters, providing they do not contain any offensive content as deemed by M&S Bank Arena.  However, we reserve the right to confiscate these items should we, or fellow audience members, find them disruptive to the enjoyment of the event. 

For health and safety reasons banners, posters and flags with poles or strengthening enhancements will be confiscated.  If you are unsure whether your banner or flag will be acceptable then please do not bring it to the venue.

M&S Bank Arena can take no responsibility for any loss or damage to property of this nature brought on-site and strongly recommends customers familiarise themselves with Ticket Conditions of Sale displayed on the reverse of all tickets before attending an event.
