Bag Policy
BC Place has introduced a Bag Policy to make entry to the Stadium faster, safer, and easier.
For ease of entry, guests are encouraged not to bring bags to the stadium.
In necessary, guests may enter with one clear plastic bag that is no larger than 12” x 12” x 6”.
Guests may also carry one wallet no larger than 4.5” x 6.5” which will be searched.
Exceptions may be made for diaper bags and for medically necessary items that cannot fit into a clear bag.
All bags are subject to search, including enhanced screening, if required.
A bag check service will be available at Gates C and H. Bags may be checked here for the duration of your event at a cost of $10 per bag.

Prepare your approved clear bag for inspection and place it on the table on either side of the metal detectors.
Keep items such as mobile phones, keys, watches, jewelry, and coins with you as you proceed through the metal detectors. Our security team will signal you to proceed when they are ready.
Once inside, reclaim your approved clear bag from the table and proceed to your seats.
