The do's and don'ts can be confusing, these restrictions are implemented both for the safety and comfort of our guests and some are at the request of the individual artists. The camera policy is always a contentious one, artists will sometimes request that no cameras be allowed in, and sometimes that request can be changed right up to door time, so we apologize for those times where it just doesn't seem to make sense.
