This is insane, should I get a bag like that just to attend a concert? What happens if I go with a small backpack?

I don't know, because I have never attended a concert or sports event where clear bags were required. It is possible that they will tell you that you cannot bring your bag into the arena, tho, if they are strict about the policy.

I just got off the phone with Joe Louis Arena (10-16-15, 11:30 a.m.). The woman I spoke to said clear plastic bags are only required for Red Wings hockey games. She says Paul's concert doesn't require clear plastic bags. She says there isn't any specific requirement for size of bag but they don't want backpacks or luggage. I think I'll call again later to make sure this information is correct. Joe Louis phone # is 313-471-7000 if anyone else wants to call. Please post what you find out.

Forgive me if this has been posted The Detroit Red Wings (Hockey) Play at the Joe Louis Areana. These links explain their clear Bag policy - which is likely the Same at the concert. Red wings.nhl.com Or Detroitredwings.com Mostly .... Enjoy the show! And your time in Detroit

Ok, I just called The Joe & the guy I spoke to said the clear bag is strickly enforced for Hockey games. But most concerts will be ok as long as were not bringing in large backpacks etc.Some artists like the bag policy,but he hasn't seen anything about McCartney wanting it done.I told him they should post this on their site, because the site says all events I just wasted money buying this special bag. So it looks like we can bring our purses in, I'm going to call again on Wednesday morning to be sure !!

Thanks for calling and checking. I talked to a woman and you talked to a man so that's 2 people that have said the clear bag policy doesn't apply to Paul's concert. You're right, it should be more clear on their website. I read over every word of the email I received about the concert package I bought and it doesn't say anything about clear plastic bags but it does say 'All event participants must adhere to venue rules and regulations and are subject to search/security screening on site.' I think I'll also call on another day to ask again just to make sure. Maybe if they get enough calls they'll post this stuff on their website!

Why is everybody bringing bags and such to a concert? I show up in jeans, comfortable t shirt, ticket in hand, and money for beer. That is it!

Because we don't want to carry our wallets and such in our pockets. It's a safety thing. They don't make pockets deep on women's clothes like they do on men's.

I thought you stayed at home?

Javilu, maybe check with Joe Louis Arena about backpacks? The woman on the phone told me they didn't want backpacks.
-
I got the Hot Sound Package - pre-show reception and sound check. Wasn't there supposed to be special parking near the arena if you have that package? It doesn't say anything about that on my email from Ticketmaster as few days ago.

I am very busy with work and preparations for my trip (I will fly something like 20 hours on Monday to get to detroit). Someone wrote as long as backpack is a small one it's ok?

Hot Sound doesn't include parking at any of the ones I have done.

I do. For Paul McCartney concerts! Not for other artists who play in my city. I find it funny all this anxiety about what kind of bag to bring to Paul's show. They let women bring purses, I am sure of that. But a bag??

I hope they don't perform cavity search on entrance. That would be a first.

Not true, many arenas & stadiums around the country have a clear bag policy now. & purses are not allowed.According to The Joe Louis area site & news reports here,only a small wallet & a ziploc style clear bag. No purses. I was surprised when I called & they said they are allowing purses for concerts,when they clearly state "all events".

Thanks Maccascruff. The one I went to in 2011 had parking extras but maybe it was a different package.
