Lost Children
Guests are encouraged to instruct children in their group what to do if they get lost. If a child is lost or separated from their group, the child should ask the nearest Grand Casino Arena staff member for help. A lost child will be taken to the Guest Services desk near section 105 on the 100 level. Parents looking for a child should follow the same procedure. Children who retain their ticket stub are much easier to locate and bring back to their seats and parents.
Tag-a-Kid Program
This is a free, in-house service in which a colorful wristband is placed on a young visitor that notes their parents' seat location.

For additional information or to register, visit any of the Guest Services desks located at sections 105, C9 and 207, as well as the Suite Concierge desk.
Mobile Entry / Digital Tickets
Mobile ticketing is the most secure, convenient and flexible way to receive and manage tickets. When you arrive at the gate, our guest services staff will scan the ticket’s barcode straight from your smart phone, rather than a piece of paper. Screen shots will not be valid for entry.
