Safety - Guidelines & Restrictions
To ensure a safe and fun time for all, guidelines have been collectively agreed upon by first responders, security, the venue, and show staff. Plan ahead and please review the EDM Guidelines before the show to expedite entry into the building.
ID Requirements
Patrons attending must be 18 years of age or older with valid, government issued photo ID.
Temporary/Paper IDs are allowed if accompanied by a valid or expired form of government ID that includes a photo, such as an expired WA drivers license, passport, or military ID.
Photo copies or pictures of IDs will NOT be accepted.
No Smoking & Vaping
The Tacoma Dome is a smoke-free facility. Smoking or vaping of any kind—including, but not limited to, cigarettes, tobacco, cigars, electronic cigarettes, and pipes—is strictly prohibited in all areas, including seating sections, concourses, restrooms, concession stands, eating areas, VIP lounges, and administrative offices.
Guest Search and Entry: Smoking and vaping materials are not allowed inside the Tacoma Dome. During security screening, guests found with these items will be asked to dispose of them or return them to their vehicle before entry, even if the items are sealed.
In compliance with the Expanded Clean Air Act, smoking is not permitted within 25 feet of any building entrance. Due to these requirements, there are no designated smoking areas and no re-entry for smoking during events.
Cannabis Notice: Under Washington State law, the use of cannabis in public—and specifically on any alcohol-licensed premises—is prohibited. Guests found using cannabis on the premises will be required to leave immediately without refund.

Costimes, Masks/Helmets, and Props
We welcome cosplay at the Tacoma Dome! To help ensure a fun and safe environment for all guests, please take a moment to review our guidelines.
Masks, helmets, or costumes that cover most or part of the face may not be worn when entering or exiting the venue, during ID checks, or while making purchases.
Masks, helmets, or costume props—including any item carried or worn as part of a costume—are welcome as long as they do not pose a credible threat or resemble a weapon.
Please note that our security team will make case-by-case judgments at the entrance and may request modifications or the removal of certain items before allowing entry.

Cashless Facility
The Tacoma Dome is a cashless facility, including all concession and merchandise sales. Google Pay and Apple Pay are also available at concession points of sale. There are cash-to-card kiosks (reverse ATM’s) where guests can exchange their cash for a Tacoma Dome VISA card. Card balances remain usable anywhere after the event. Going cashless improves the transaction process, reduces wait times, and limits guest to staff contact. Cashless parking payment options are also available. Please visit our Cashless FAQs for more information.
