No. We are limiting only the type of bags carried into our facilities, not items that you normally would bring to an event. Therefore, you can carry items such as keys, makeup, feminine products, comb, phone, wallet, credit cards, etc. in your pockets, if you choose not to put them in a clear bag or clutch. You can use the clear bag and clutch to carry other items. You will continue to have the flexibility to bring a wide variety of approved items into our facilities.
