Can I bring a bag into The Sonnentag?

To provide a safer environment for the public and significantly expedite fan entry into stadiums, The Sonnentag has adopted a policy that limits the sizes and types of bags that may be brought into events.

Does my child need a ticket?

Unless otherwise stated, children who have not reached their second birthday will not require a ticket to enter an event provided that they remain in a parent’s lap for the duration of the event and do not occupy a seat. Please note: for family shows specifically designed for children, this policy is subject to change. Please check the event page on our website for details.

Is smoking allowed in The Sonnentag?

The Sonnentag is a smoke-free facility. No smoking or vaping of any kind is permitted within any facilities or around the facility grounds.

Can my service or support animal accompany me?

The Sonnentag strictly adheres to state and federal laws and regulations regarding service animals for guests. Therefore, service animals that are individually trained to do work and/or perform tasks for a person with a disability, and wearing their state-mandated rabies vaccination tag, are welcome in The Sonnentag. However, the laws do not currently protect the use of emotional support animals in Public Places of Accommodation and are, therefore, not allowed in The Sonnentag.
