Alcohol Policy
Alcohol is only to be enjoyed by adults of age 21 or older. Underage drinking will not be allowed at the venue. All alcohol sales require an ID at the time of purchase.
Clear Bag Policy
The Mesa Amphitheatre has a clear bag policy. Bags and backpacks are not allowed within the venue except for the items listed on the approved clear bags list below.
Approved Clear Bags :
» A clear plastic or vinyl PVC bag that does not exceed 12″ X 6″ X 12″ (such as a Ziploc or Hefty bag).
All bags will be inspected by security upon entry.
(Exceptions will be made for approved medical bags or equipment, which will be inspected by security prior to entering.)
COVID-19 Policy
Although face coverings are optional at City of Mesa facilities, Mesa Amp staff encourages visitors to continue to exercise precautions, including getting vaccinated, wearing masks if unvaccinated and staying at home when not feeling well. Additionally, staff will continue to maintain enhanced cleaning practices and provide hand sanitizer at all City of Mesa buildings. Masks are still mandatory for public transportation, per federal regulations.
The City of Mesa continues to monitor pending litigation and recent executive orders involving the ability of municipalities to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Governor Doug Ducey’s Executive Order 2021-09 precludes municipalities from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination status to enter any building, including Mesa-owned and operated venues such as the Mesa Amphitheater and Mesa Arts Center. Mesa Amp staff is actively monitoring the course of the “pandemic” in Arizona as they strive to balance public safety and the services we provide to residents, businesses, employees and visitors.

All attendees must have their own ticket. This includes children during all-ages shows and events.
Entry and exit times
In general, the entry gates will open approximately 60-90 minutes before the show begins. Of course, each show may have different timings, so be sure to check with the venue before you travel.
In some cases, it might be possible to purchase VIP tickets that include early entry to the venue.
Re-entry is not allowed so make sure you have everything you need when you pass through security. If you do need to leave, you will not be allowed back into the venue.
All attendees, including children, must have their own ticket during shows and events.
Due to the fact the shows are performed outside in this open-air venue, they are always finished by 10pm. If you need to know the exact end-time of your event for travel reasons, it is best to contact the venue.
Concessions
Concessions are available to purchase at the Mesa Amphitheatre. Alcohol can only be purchased and consumed by adults with ID that proves they are aged 21 or older.
Emergency procedures
In the event that there is an emergency situation at the venue, be sure to follow all instructions from staff and any attending emergency personnel. Should evacuation be necessary, it is important to stay calm and to be considerate of others around you.
