A: Yes.
Q: Will the case affect my phone in any way?
A: No.
Q: My ticket is on my phone. What do I do?
A: Printed tickets are preferred for entry, but Yondr staff will be standing by to unlock your phone so you can access your mobile ticket in order to enter the venue.
Q: I have a babysitter at home OR I am on-call for work — Where can I check my phone?
A: Set your phone to vibrate as you enter the venue. You’ll be able to feel your phone vibrate through the Yondr case when you receive calls or texts. You may use your phone throughout the night at designated Phone Use Areas in the lobby of the venue.

A: Yondr staff will be stationed at all exits to unlock your phone at the end of the show.
Q: Does it take long to unlock the cases and leave the venue?
A: No. Yondr staff are located at each exit to unlock cases. We find that leaving is consistently faster at a phone-free show.
Q: I didn’t know about the phone policy. What if I don’t want to do this?
A: This is the show policy, and as a result we cannot allow entry to any guests with cell phones or smart devices if they are not secured in a Yondr case.
Q: What happens if there is an emergency in the venue and I can’t access my phone?
A: All venue staff and security have cell phones and radios. Should an emergency occur, they are trained to implement and execute safety and emergency procedures.
