Venue FAQ/Policies

Address

Physical Address- 500 Broad Street, Bridgeport, CT 06604

Alcohol

The Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater offers a wide variety of alcoholic beverages for purchase during your visit to the venue. You are not permitted to bring any alcoholic beverages into the venue. A valid and current Driver's License or State ID card is required to purchase alcohol; guests will be required to show ID each time they purchase.

Animals- Service

Like many venues and other large places of assembly, the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater has a “no pets” policy. However, Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater’s policy explicitly permits guests with disabilities who use dogs as service animals. Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater’s 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 Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater requires (consistent with the ADA) service animals to 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.

Automobile Assistance

If any assistance is needed with your vehicle please contact your normal Emergency Assistance provider. Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater does not have tow or lockout services on site. Emergency assistance vehicles are permitted on property to assist with lockouts, jumps or tows but the guest will need to arrange for such services.

BAG POLICY

CLEAR plastic, vinyl or PVC tote bags no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", and/or small clutch bags (6" x 9"). The small clutch bags do not need to be clear.

Banners and Signs

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 permit banners or signs 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.

Box Office

The box office is open the day of the event/performance.

Bus Parking

Buses are considered oversized vehicles and will be charged up to $100.00 if they will be remaining on site during the event.

All buses will be boarded by our security staff to ensure no underage drinking is taking place on the bus. If there is any underage drinking, the whole bus will be turned around and no one will be able to enter the event. The venue will not issue refunds and bears no expense as a result of the non-admittance. Bridgeport Police will be on site assisting in the bus lot to ensure all guests on buses are acting appropriately and within accordance with the law.

Camera Policy

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 is 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.
