Cameras, Phones, and Recording

Can I bring a camera to the R&B Tour?

Phone cameras are permitted at every venue on the tour. Standard smartphone photography is allowed throughout the show.

Professional cameras — defined as cameras with detachable or interchangeable lenses — are not allowed. Gillette Stadium (Boston) confirmed for their show: "No professional cameras or cameras with detachable lenses." Soldier Field (Chicago) prohibited "cameras with lenses that exceed 6 inches when fully extended." The St. Louis Dome prohibited "professional nor semi-professional cameras, still or digital, with no lens longer than 3 inches."

Polaroid cameras are permitted at Gillette Stadium specifically — confirmed in their event listing. Other venues have not published a specific Polaroid policy.

As the rule varies slightly by venue, always verify your specific venue's camera policy before arriving. The general rule across all tour venues is: smartphones yes, professional/DSLR/mirrorless cameras with detachable lenses no.

Can I film videos at the R&B Tour?

Phone video recording during the show is generally permitted and widely practiced — TikTok footage from multiple tour stops confirms this. Video cameras and professional recording equipment are prohibited. Restrictions on professional recording devices apply at every venue.

Are selfie sticks allowed?

No. Soldier Field's prohibited items list specifically includes "poles of any kind, including selfie-sticks." This is consistent with NFL stadium policy across the tour route. Leave your selfie stick at home or in your car.

Can I bring a tablet or iPad?

No. The St. Louis Dome explicitly prohibited iPads and tablets. Soldier Field and Gillette Stadium also restrict tablet-sized devices. Phones are fine; tablets are not.


Weather and Outdoor Show Policy

Is the R&B Tour rain or shine?

Yes. The R&B Tour runs rain or shine at outdoor venues. The Birmingham show (July 28) was officially listed as "Rain or Shine" in the event announcement. Ticketmaster Canada's listing for the tour confirms "rain or shine" applies across outdoor stadium dates.

This means the show proceeds in light to moderate rain regardless. In the event of severe weather — lightning, tornado warnings, or unsafe conditions — venue management may delay or temporarily pause the show. This is a decision made by venue operations on the day, not the tour.

Bring a light rain poncho if your show is at an outdoor venue and rain is in the forecast. Most stadiums prohibit umbrellas (Soldier Field's prohibited items list includes umbrellas). A clear rain poncho fits within the clear bag policy.

What happens if the show is cancelled or postponed?

Cancellation: If a show is cancelled entirely, Ticketmaster automatically refunds the ticket purchase price to the original payment method within 7 to 10 business days. Secondary market platforms like StubHub and SeatGeek offer refunds or credits under their buyer guarantees.

Postponement: If a show is postponed to a new date, tickets are typically honored at the rescheduled date. Ticketmaster sends an email with the new date. If you cannot attend the new date, a refund window is usually offered.


Merchandise

Where can I buy official R&B Tour merchandise?

Official R&B Tour merchandise is available online at store.raymondandbrowntour.com starting at $55 for shirts, and at merchandise stands set up at every show with prices starting from approximately $35.

Is unofficial or bootleg R&B Tour merch sold outside stadiums?

Unofficial merchandise is sold outside most stadium venues on this tour. These are not official tour products, may be lower quality, and carry no guarantee.


Attending Alone

Is it okay to go to the R&B Tour by myself?

Yes — and it is more common than you might expect. A stadium show with 67,000 to 71,000 people has a communal energy where solo attendance rarely feels isolating. The show's structure — nine acts, dancing throughout, high-energy crowd — naturally encourages interaction with people around you.


Tickets — Transfers, Resale, and Refunds

Can I transfer my R&B Tour tickets to someone else?

Yes. R&B Tour tickets are transferable via Ticketmaster's mobile transfer feature. Mobile transfer via Ticketmaster only. Physical printout tickets are not valid for transfer.

Can I resell my R&B Tour tickets?

Yes. Secondary market resale is available through Ticket Squeeze, StubHub, SeatGeek, and Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan Exchange.

What should I do if my tickets do not scan at the gate?

Stay calm and do not leave the gate line. Show the gate agent your Ticketmaster order confirmation email on your phone. If that does not resolve it, visit guest services or will call. Always use the live app barcode, not a screenshot.


Kids and Families

Is the R&B Tour appropriate for children?

The R&B Tour is not specifically an all-ages family show. Content includes adult R&B themes, suggestive choreography, and adult language in songs. Most venues have no published age restriction for this concert beyond the standard 21+ requirement for alcohol purchases. Parental discretion is recommended.

Can I bring a stroller to the R&B Tour?

This varies by venue. The St. Louis Dome explicitly prohibited strollers. Most NFL stadiums do not list strollers as permitted items. Contact your specific venue directly before bringing one.


Timing and Upgrades

What time should I arrive at the R&B Tour?

For a 7:00 PM show, plan to be at the stadium entrance by 5:30 PM. For a 7:30 PM show, plan for 6:00 PM arrival to clear security and find your seats before the show starts.

Can I get a seat upgrade at the show?

Sometimes. After entering the venue, visit the guest services desk on the concourse level and ask if any upgrades are available. There is no official tour upgrade program beyond VIP packages through VIPNation.com.
