FAQ

All bags are subject to check at door.  We do not allow weapons of any kind; pepper spray, knives, or guns.  Also, we ask you do not bring professional camera equipment or audio recording devices.  Many artists do not allow photos or videos of any kind, even on your phone; announcements will be made prior to the performance what the specific guidelines for that evening.

We ask you have your tickets ready when you arrive at the theatre.  If you need to purchase, make your way to the box office first.  Check out Empress Tavern for a drink or a bite to eat, or head to our concessions stand for theatre staples.  On busier nights, arriving at the theatre long before the show is set to begin is best practice, to ensure we can get you in timely.

We reserve the right to eject anyone who does not follow rules such as photo policy, fighting, public intoxication, or disturbance.  We want you to have fun we also need to make sure everyones’ safety in the theatre.  We have security guards for all our shows.

Thank you!

Proof of vaccination is on a show-by-show basis. We will let you know if it is required to attend the event you plan to attend. Some acts require proof of vaccination to attend their shows; we will be enforcing their request. The Crest Sacramento and its staff believe vaccinations are an essential component of public health, and we strongly recommend that all event attendees be vaccinated. We require all event attendees who are unvaccinated wear face-coverings, to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.  All staff and volunteers are vaccinated.  If any of these guidelines or mandates update/change, we will contact you; please refrain from contacting us about specific shows – we will keep you in the loop regarding Covid policies and requirements.
