No. However, Glow bracelets, LED gloves, and other “jewelry/attire” type glow-items are okay. Loose objects like glow STICKS are not ok. Rule of thumb: if you can chuck it at someone, its not getting inside.

No. However, personal “point and shoot” cameras are OK.
What other items are prohibited?
Prohibited items include weapons or other dangerous objects, sticks, bats, poles, staffs and clubs, illegal substances, backpacks and large bags, food and beverages, and metal, plastic and glass containers.

When does Metro close?
The last train leaves the nearby Stadium/Armory stop at 3am.

This maybe a very stupid question, but if the gov shuts down will that effect the DC armory or better yet will it effect the concert in any way shape or form? Such as venue, parking, metro etc.
Not a stupid question at all. From our understanding, this should not affect the show. We will make an announcement if something should come up.
can i wear shorts…??
“No Dress Code” means “No Dress Code”. Please read the post before asking questions.
in case of a rainy day do we get wet..???
I’m sorry danny, your question-asking privileges have been revoked.
can you bring a camera?
The answer you are looking for is clearly written on the page. Please take a look at the page before asking. Yes, small personal cameras are allowed.
Will there be a coat check?
There is no coat check available at the DC Armory.
Is there a deadline to arrive? If i arrive at 10 pm, is it a problem? Because i am not available before…
You’ll be missing a good part of the show, and there will probably be a long line, but yes you will still be able to get inside at 10pm.
I have gloves with lights in them. I give light shows. Are they allowed???
I will check on that for you and will post an update soon.
I was actually wondering the same thing. I have these led pom poms that I dance with and give lightshows with as well and was hoping I cud bring them in.
The Armory’s policy unfortunately does not permit it.
So no gloves?
We checked with the owner of the company and updated the info. Glow gloves should be okay. We just updated the information to reflect that.
“Glow bracelets, LED gloves, and other small “jewelry/attire” type glow-items are okay. Loose objects like glow STICKS are not ok. Rule of thumb: if you can chuck it at someone, its not getting inside.”

What exactly does a VIP ticket provide? Where is Section VIP1 and VIP2?
VIP provides you access to the mezzanine where there is seating and additional vendors.
Question: what are the approximate prices for beer and liquor at the show?
Thanks
It would be best to check with the Amory directly for that info
So no glowsticks, but I was planning on wearing glow in the dark bracelets, is that allowed?
It’ll be up to the discretion of the Armory Staff… Not sure of that specifically. I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to try.
So backpacks are not allowed at all or just large ones? Would I be able to bring in a small backpack just to hold a sweatshirt or something?
Probably not. I would just leave it at home or leave it in the car.
What types of bags/purses are allowed?? For girls that can’t put their wallet and cell phones in their pocket??
Small purses are recommended. Large honking backpacks and bags may not be allowed in. Think minimal.
So I have this LED music equalizer sticker to stick on my shirt, which lits up with and according to the beats. Will that be allowed? Because if not permitted I’d like to know before I go to the concert. Thanks!
You’ll be in good shape. Hint: Jewelry = OK. Loose objects = Not ok.
Yeah I want to wear the glow in the dark bracelets… will that be allowed? How can we rave without glowey stuff
Hint: Jewelry = OK. Loose objects = Not ok.
I have a mexican passport…will this be ok for my governent issue id?
If it is valid and not expired, yes that should be fine
I’m a girl who can’t just put my phone/wallet in my jeans pocket like most guys would and need a purse/bag: what bags ARE acceptable? Small purses, fanny packs? Any answer would be helpful
Purses are totally okay. They just don’t want people to bring big honking backpacks and bags.
My camera’s the Nikon P100 which is no Professional/DSLR but might look like one. Hope that’s ok. Also, I have a feeling parking going to be tough, is Primary parking for the event also $15? Thanks! Neat FAQ page. Hoping to have a blast!
You’ll probably be fine with that camera, but ultimately the final call will be made by Armory staff. The DSLR rule is there to discourage pro photographers and media from covering the event without getting authorization first.
Yep, as stated, parking is $15, and there is tons of parking (its right next to RFK Stadium, so parking will not be a problem)
are small draw-string backpacks allowed? The ones with the two strings? I might be coming with the metro and it would be nice if I had a place to hold my sweater.
Small bags are OK.
Are we allowed to bring bracelets like medium size ones? easier way can we bring Plur? or Kandi cuffs?
Jewelry and such is fine. They just don’t want glow STICKS.
My wallet was just stolen. The only form of ID I have is my college ID. please tell me this will be ok?? I’m freaking out. I just drove four hrs to get here
Unfortunately, a college ID is probably NOT sufficient ID. Please contact the armory directly as soon as possible to see if you can make any form of special arrangement with them.
