So, what survives the bag check? You’re allowed a small clutch (like a wristlet) that isn’t clear, but it must be no larger than 4.5” x 6.5”. That’s basically the size of a TV remote. Everything else—backpacks, purses, camera bags—needs to be clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC. Mesh bags? Nope. Tinted plastic? Nope. They want to see your stuff like a fish in a bowl.
Don’t Forget the Pocket Trick
Here’s a smart move: load up your pockets. Guys, your shorts with the big cargo pockets? Gold. Ladies, that jacket with the zip-up pockets? Your new best friend. I stuff my phone, cards, and a tiny lip balm into my jeans, and I waltz right through. You become a minimalist for the night, and honestly? It’s kind of freeing. No bag to lose. No bag to hold. Just you and the music.
