Staying safe
We take security really seriously. So when you arrive, please make sure you’ve got plenty of time to go through the checks at all entrances. Queues are likely, so arrive early to avoid them. Additional security measures may also come into effect on certain events – we’ll let you know on your event page.
Bag checks
In addition to ticket checks, small bags will also be searched. We don’t have any cloakrooms in our venue and for security reasons all adult backpacks or rucksacks of any size and any other bags larger than 40 x 35 x 19 cm aren’t allowed. Luggage can’t go into the auditorium, or be stored anywhere in the venue.
Screening
We’ll also get you to pass through our screening arches. They’re our way of making sure nothing’s coming into the venue that shouldn’t be. They’re safe for everyone, including pregnant women and people with pacemakers.
Drinks
You can’t bring drinks into the venue unless you’ve got a proven medical reason. We sell a variety of drinks inside and there are water towers on the concourses. If you need to carry drinks for medical reasons, please email customer services at customerservices@ovoarena.co.uk.
Readmissions
There’s no readmission and no exit for smoking. If you arrive late, you might need to wait until there’s a break in the performance before you enter.
What else do we do to keep you safe
There’s a lot we do behind the scenes to make sure you’re safe inside our venue. There are the security measures you can see and of course the ones you can’t. The site’s under constant monitoring and when you’re with us, you’re in the hands of trained staff. We also work very closely with the Metropolitan Police and members of the security services to ensure our security procedures are up to date and following best practice

Camera policy
It’s up to the promoter whether you can take photos at the event. Sometimes artists don’t allow any photography during a concert and their policy may not come into effect at short notice. In these cases, you’ll be asked to leave your cameras and collect them after the show.
Usually, professional-type cameras (with large or detachable lenses), camcorders and tripods aren’t allowed.

We look forward to welcoming you to the OVO Arena Wembley and are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all our guests. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of anti-social behaviour directed towards other guests or staff.
This includes refraining from engaging in any behaviour that may cause harm, discomfort, or offense to fellow attendees or staff members. We will not tolerate any form of verbal or physical abuse, harassment, discrimination, or disruptive actions, any individual found engaging in anti-social behaviour may be subject to immediate removal from the venue and could face further consequences as deemed necessary.
We encourage all guests to report any concerns or incidents to a nearby staff member or security personnel. Together, we can ensure that everyone's experience remains enjoyable, inclusive in a safe and respectful manner.
