How are concerts affected by the alcohol policy selected?

Britt Staff and Security will make the decisions on which concerts to prohibit outside alcohol at, based on two factors:

  1. Concerts where there is a greater risk for alcohol-related incidents, and for which we want to have better control over alcohol consumption.
  2. Concerts with high artist fees, where Britt needs to bring in income to cover the costs associated with the artists.
Does this policy affect food or soft drinks?

No. Patrons are still welcome to bring in food, water and soft drinks to all concerts.

Will there be increased restrictions on alcohol in the future? Will you be cutting outside alcohol altogether?

The Board is committed to balancing Britt's safety and revenue needs, and preserving a cherished tradition.
