Safety Information

Your safety is our top priority. Whether you're traveling to a playoff game, a sold-out concert, or exploring a new city, these guidelines will help you stay safe and enjoy the experience.

Event Day Safety

• Plan your route — Know how you're getting to and from the venue before you leave. Save the address, check transit schedules, and identify backup transportation options.
• Stay aware of your surroundings — Large events attract crowds. Keep your belongings secure and stay alert, especially in unfamiliar areas.
• Know the venue policies — Check bag size restrictions, prohibited items, and entry procedures before arriving. Most major venues have clear bag policies.
• Share your plans — Let someone know your itinerary, especially if you're traveling solo to a new city.

Travel Safety

• Research neighborhoods — Use our city guides to understand which areas are best for walking, dining, and nightlife near event venues.
• Use reputable transportation — Stick to licensed taxis, rideshare services, and official public transit. Avoid unmarked vehicles.
• Secure your valuables — Use hotel safes for passports, extra cash, and electronics. Don't leave valuables visible in rental cars.
• Travel insurance — Consider purchasing travel insurance for long-distance trips, especially international events.

Digital Safety

• Avoid public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions — Use your mobile data or a VPN when accessing banking or personal accounts.
• Beware of ticket scams — Only purchase event tickets from authorized sellers and verified resale platforms.
• Protect your personal information — Be cautious about sharing your location in real time on social media, especially when traveling alone.

Emergency Resources

In case of emergency, always dial your local emergency number (911 in the US). Most major venues have on-site medical staff and security teams. For non-emergency safety concerns related to FanTravel content, use our Report a Concern page.
