House Opening
The lobby of RiverCenter usually opens one hour prior to an event’s starting time, though it may open earlier if a pre-performance activity is scheduled. At many events, admittance to the actual performance area is not permitted until shortly before the performance begins.
Late Seating
At the discretion of house management and in compliance with artists’ directions, latecomers and those returning to the performance will be seated as inconspicuously as possible at an appropriate interval during the program. Reserved seats are not guaranteed after the performance has begun, so latecomers may be seated in the back and near entry points out of courtesy to performers and other patrons.
Emergency Messages & Prohibited Equipment
Ushers are pleased to check cameras, recording equipment, cellular phones, and pagers, all of which are prohibited in the performance halls. Patrons expecting emergency messages should leave seat location information with potential calling parties and notify the Security Desk that they might be paged. Pagers are attended during performances, and urgent messages are delivered immediately.
Smoking
Smoking is forbidden in any part of the Hall. Smoking areas with ash urns are located outside all doors.
Lost and Found
Lost items found by patrons should be given to an usher for storing with RiverCenter Security. These items are retained by Security for sixty days then donated to Valley Rescue Mission, Inc. Owners may claim lost items by calling 706-256-3610.

An elevator is available in the Grand Lobby for easy access to all levels of the Hall.
