Like many venues and other large places of assembly, The Toyota Pavilion at Concord has a "no pets" policy. However, Live Nation's policy explicitly permits guests with disabilities who use dogs as service animals. The Toyota Pavilion at Concord policy, consistent with ADA's revised guidelines, defines "service animal" as limited to a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the individual's disability.
The Toyota Pavilion at Concord requires, consistent with the ADA, that service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal's work or the individual's disability prevents him or her from using these devices. Individuals who cannot use such devices must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective methods.
SUBJECT TO CHANGE - The standard venue policy allows camera phones, disposable cameras, and small digital cameras. Any camera that has a detachable lens will be considered professional and not allowed in. If the camera lens zooms out of the camera more than 1 inch, it will be considered a professional camera and will not be allowed in. Some artists do not permit cameras so please check back for the show you will be attending to ensure that we will be allowing cameras in.
There are a total of 4 entrance gates to the facility. Main Gate, West Gate, ADA Gates are available for use regardless of the ticket type. The Fast Lane gate is located to the right of main gate. You must have your Fast Lane pass to utilize this gate. The VIP Club has a separate entry gate located next to A-lot. All guests using this gate must be VIP clients and have the appropriate ticket.
The lawn is always first come, first serve. Guests may notice a row or seat number on their lawn ticket, but that is only used for tracking purposes. There are no assigned seats on the lawn.
Lawn chairs are available for rent for most shows and must be turned in at the end of the event. Our rental chairs are 27.6” wide X 27.6” deep X 30.5” tall. No other chairs are permitted inside the venue.

Signs larger than 8.5" X 11" (inches) are not permitted into the venue. This size is a standard sheet of paper. We do not allow in banners or signs that are larger than this due to the potential to block other guests view of the performance. All signs must be appropriate in nature and not be a distraction to the artist.
