#CMAFEST2018 NEW CLEAR BAG POLICY AND WHAT YOU CAN BRING AND WHAT YOU CAN'T BRING INTO OFFICIAL VENUES


If you're headed to CMA Fest this year, please note that Nissan Stadium’s clear bag policy will now be in place at all official festival locations.

Per CMA regulations:

Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 12” x 6” are allowed. All styles of clear bags are acceptable as long as they are 12" x 12" x 6" or smaller - this includes clear cinch sacks, clear diaper bags, gallon Ziploc bags, etc. In addition to a clear bag, a small clutch bag or wallet no larger than 4.5” x 6.5” is allowed.

CMA will provide one FREE CMA Fest-branded clear bag to four-day pass holders this year! To pick up your free clear bag, visit Music City Center, Level 2 starting Wednesday, June 6 at 9:30 AM and show your four-day pass. One free bag per four-day pass.

If you are not a four-day pass holder, a regulation-sized bag can be purchased on the official CMA site

Prohibited items include, but are not limited to: purses larger than 4.5” x 6.5”, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, seat cushions, luggage of any kind, computer bags and camera bags or any bag larger than the permissible size. If you have any of these items, you will NOT be allowed to bring them inside the venue.

Exceptions will be made for medically-necessary items after proper inspection at Gates 1 and 7 at Nissan Stadium.

All bags are subject to inspection.

If you're doubtful that an item will be allowed, best option is to just leave it at home or call the venue directly and GET A NAME of who you spoke with in case you have issues upon arrival.

Here are the lists of prohibited and allowed items at various festival locations:
