Policies for children vary by event and venue. Some locations allow very young children to attend for free, while others require every guest—regardless of age—to have their own ticket.
Common Venue Policies
Lap Policy: Many venues allow children under 2 years old to attend without a ticket if they remain seated on a parent’s lap.
Every Seat Requires a Ticket: Some venues require every attendee, regardless of age, to have a valid ticket.
Event Type Differences: Sports, concerts, and theater performances often have different rules, so requirements may change depending on the event.
What You Should Do
Since policies are set by the venue or event organizer (not Tickets-Center), the best step is to check directly with them before purchasing. This ensures you have the most accurate entry requirements for your event.
