📋 General Rules

• At DPAC, each event that we host determines their own policy on photography and video recording using mobile phones. • Please note that GoPros, tablets, and cameras of any kind are prohibited at all DPAC events. • For more information, visit https://www.dpacnc.com/events

👶 Child Policy

All guests require a ticket, regardless of age. Children under the age of 6 are not allowed at most DPAC performances including Broadway, Concerts and Comedy shows. Children must be able to sit quietly in their own seat without disturbing other guests. Some shows make further age appropriate recommendations, and DPAC will provide those on its website; however, parental discretion is always advised, and judgment of the content for each show should be made on an individual basis prior to purchase. This policy does not include special kids shows such as Disney Live, Wild Kratts and Peppa Pig.

💡 Guru Tips

Insider tips to make the most of your experience at DPAC

🎫 Will Call Tip

Will call lines can get long close to showtime. Pick up your tickets early if the box office opens before doors — or go mobile tickets to skip the line entirely.

💵 Bring Cash

This venue accepts cash — handy for merch tables and food vendors where card-only lines are shorter. Keep small bills.

🏟️ Arena Insider

For concerts in arenas, mid-level sections (200s) often have the best sound. Floor seats look great on paper but sound can be muddy and sightlines blocked by standing crowds.

📅 Busy Venue

DPAC hosts 522+ events — it's a popular spot. For big shows, arrive 30-60 minutes early to clear security, grab food, and settle in without stress.

📸 Camera Policy

Cameras may be restricted — professional/DSLR cameras are usually banned but phone cameras are always fine. Check before bringing gear.

👨‍👩‍👧 Bringing Kids?

This venue has a child policy — check age requirements before buying. Pro tip: aisle seats are a lifesaver with little ones for quick bathroom and snack runs.

🚕 Rideshare Tip

Set your pickup spot a block or two away from the main exit — everyone else is fighting for rides right at the door. You'll get matched faster and pay less surge.
