Seating
Seating is General Admission on the Great Lawn and surrounding areas. Ticketholders are welcome to bring blankets or low-riding chairs. Any patron sitting in a chair with legs that are taller than a basketball, or with a seat-back that is higher than one's shoulder-blades, will be asked to move to the side of the lawn so as to not obstruct anyone's view. This is for the convenience of all visitors.

The Great Lawn seating area is fully accessible to wheelchair-bound patrons.

Rain or Shine
All shows are rain or shine, so please dress appropriately for the weather. There will be no refunds in case of inclement weather.

Children
Children aged two or younger receive free admission. All others require a ticket. Please use your best judgment when bringing a child to a concert; sound levels may be too much for tiny ears.

Smoking
Due to the sensitive nature of the Garden's grounds and plant beds, smoking is not permitted anywhere in the Garden's buildings or grounds.

Pets
The only pets allowed on Garden grounds are special-assist animals.

Photography
At the request of the artists, there is no photography allowed during any concert at SunTrust Concerts in the Garden. Please leave your camera at home. The Garden will not be responsible for any stored or confiscated photo equipment.
