    When visiting Red Rocks, your safety is our top priority and therefore guests and their possessions are subject to inspection. Upon arrival to the gate entrances, please have your bags open and available for inspection. All possessions must fit under your designated seat (18″ x 12″). Red Rocks management reserves final decision on items brought into the venue.

    For those with prescription medication, patrons should only bring the amount of medication needed for the show in the original prescription container with the patient’s name and dosage on the label. Staff will verify at entrances and any excess medication should be stored in vehicles or can be stored with medical staff in the first aid room at the South Ramp entrance.
