VBC Event Safety Rules

The Von Braun Center is committed to creating a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for all guests. All guests shall remain respectful and courteous to their fellow patrons and comply with requests from VBC staff regarding policies, emergency response procedures, and behavior that impacts the event experience of fellow spectators. The Von Braun Center values the support of all guests, and reserves the right to eject any guest for any reason, including not attending the event with dignity and respect.

Guest Searches

All patrons entering the Von Braun Center during an event are subject to screening, which varies from event-to-event. Screenings range from visual inspection and bag search to screenings by a magnetometer (metal detector) and/or pat-down search conducted by security personnel. The purpose of the inspection is to detect prohibited items.

Arrive at the event venue well in advance of the posted start time. The VBC has increased typical staffing levels for events to get each and every person into the building in a timely manner but can make no guarantees.
