Re-entry policy

Age restrictions
The White Oak is generally an all-ages venue, welcoming people of all ages to attend most events. However, age restrictions can vary depending on the type of event and the performer’s preferences. Some concerts, especially those with explicit content, may have age recommendations or restrictions, so it’s always best to check the specific event details before purchasing tickets.
For children under a certain age, some events may require them to be accompanied by an adult. Additionally, for specific shows, a policy may be in place that allows children under a specified age to attend without a ticket, provided they sit on a guardian’s lap. This policy varies, so it’s a good idea to check with the box office or ticket provider in advance.
Service animals
The amphitheater is service-animal-friendly and welcomes patrons who require the assistance of a service animal. According to the White Oak’s policy, service animals are permitted to accompany visitors throughout the location, including seating areas – provided they are under control and on a leash or harness at all times.
It’s important to note that emotional support animals or pets that do not meet the definition of a service animal under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are not permitted. If you plan to bring a service animal, it’s always a good idea to inform the venue in advance, especially if you have specific seating requirements or require additional assistance.
