specific children's performances. Children 3 years of age and older
must occupy a seat when in the reserved seating area and must have a
ticket.
At
special children's shows, children 2 years of age and over must occupy
a seat when in the reserved seat area and must have a ticket. At these
same types of events, children 2 years of age and older must have a
ticket for the lawn.
Strollers
and Playpens - present a safety hazard to children in tem. The
strollers are not safe on The Pavilion stairs and hill. In the seating
area, the strollers block aisles and violate state fire codes.
Food and Beverages
Are
not permitted for several reasons. Due to TABC laws, we must prohibit
guests from bringing alcoholic beverages into The Pavilion. Containers
may be used as projectiles and could harm other guests. Any non-plastic
bottles or bottles with lids will not be permitted. You may bring in
items for medical purposes but please contact the appropriate gate
supervisor who can have the item brought to First Aid. The only time
food is allowed is at performing arts events, however; beverages still
cannot be brought into the venue.
Lawn Chairs
Differ
in size and shape. A guest might bring a chair that blocks the view of
other guests or that is not safe for the grade of The Pavilion's hill.
Because there are so many types of chairs, it is simply more convenient
not to allow any chairs into the facility. We have specially-designed
chairs that can be rented for $5 at contemporary events. These lawn
chairs are offered free at all performing arts events.
Blankets
Have
been used by guests to throw other guests into the air causing serious
injury. We have chosen not to permit blankets at certain shows that
have a history of this behavior. You may, however; bring something the
size of a regular bath towel to sit on.
Cameras
Are
not allowed at most shows at the artist's request. However; there are
times when the artist will allow guests to bring small,
non-professional cameras (which are typically cameras without
detachable lenses) to the show.
The following items are allowed on a show-by-show basis:
There are certain items that some performers will allow guests to have during their shows.
There are also items that pose safety threats to our guests depending on the type of show and the audience demographic the show attracts. You may call The Pavilion information line at 281-363-3300 on the day of the show to check which items are permitted for that particular show.

Empty plastic water bottles without lids are allowed. The Pavilion has water fountains that can be used to fill your bottle once you are inside the gates.
Umbrellas can cause sight problems for guests sitting behind you. Also, certain umbrellas have been used to cause injury to other guests. The decision on whether or not to allow umbrellas is based on the past history, attendance for the show, and the forecasted weather. You may bring a rain poncho or purchase a poncho at our merchandise tent for $5.00.
The following items are not permitted:
Animals can be unpredictable and may cause harm to other guests or staff. For this reason, we ask that you do not bring animals (of any nature) to The Pavilion. The only exceptions are 'working” animals, such as seeing-eye dogs.
Aerosol cans are not permitted for fire safety reasons. The contents of these cans are under pressure and contain flammable substances. You may bring these items in the pump spray form.
Audio and video equipment is not permitted due to copyright laws imposed by individual artists.
Food and beverages are not permitted for several reasons. Due to TABC laws, we must prohibit guests from bringing alcoholic beverages into The Pavilion. Containers may be used as projectiles and could harm other guests. Any non-plastic bottles or bottles with lids will not be permitted. You may bring in items for medical purposes, but please contact the appropriate gate supervisor who can have the item brought to First Aid. The only time food is allowed is at performing arts events, however, beverages still cannot be brought into the venue.
Fireworks are not permitted for safety reasons. Not only can they cause harm to the operator and other guests, they present a tremendous fire hazard.
Laser pointers are extremely distracting to a performer and other guests. They also can make a performer feel uncomfortable because some firearms use lasers as sights.
Lawn chairs differ in size and shape. A guest might bring a chair that blocks the view of other guests or that is not safe for the grade of The Pavilion's hill. Because there are so many types of chairs, it is simply more convenient not to allow any chairs into the facility. We have specially-designed chairs that can be rented for $5 at contemporary events. These lawn chairs are offered for free at all performing arts events.
Portable televisions and radios are not permitted in the facility because they are a distraction to other guests and the artist.
Strollers and playpens present a safety hazard to the children in them. The strollers are not safe on The Pavilion stairs and hill. In the seating area, the strollers block aisles and violate state fire codes.
Weapons are not permitted for obvious safety reasons. This policy includes pocketknives and small chains. You may not consider these items threatening, but they can cause harm. While it is legal, with a permit, to carry a concealed handgun in Texas, we do not allow guns in our facility. We are allowed to enforce this since we are privately owned.
