Last verified: January 15, 2025 · How we verify
Official websiteRadio City Music Hall is a theater with a capacity of 5,960 located in New York, NY. The theater hosts concerts, sporting events, and major productions throughout the year.
Like most professional venues, Radio City Music Hall enforces a clear bag policy. All bags brought into the theater must be transparent plastic, vinyl, or PVC no larger than 12"×12"×6". Each fan may also bring one small non-clear clutch or wristlet (up to 6"×9"). To avoid any issues at the gate, bring a clear bag that meets the size requirements (12"×12"×6" maximum) and arrive early — security lines move faster when bags are transparent. If you arrive with a non-compliant bag, Radio City Music Hall offers locker or bag check services near the entrance.
