Guests who have lost an item during an event should contact the nearest Footprint Center staff member for assistance. Found items may be turned in to the Guest Services Office. Guests may also call the Footprint Center Security department at 602-379-2055.
Children or parents should contact the nearest Footprint Center staff member if they become separated. Lost children will be taken to the Guest Services Office located in the pavilion, in the Northwest corner of the building. Parents looking for a lost child should go to that location as well.
Banners and signs are allowed at the Footprint Center; however, they must be constructed of flame-retardant material and may not be displayed during play due to sight restrictions. Signs must be made of a soft material that can be folded (e.g. poster board or cloth). Banners or signs may not be commercial in nature or obscene, or cause any disturbance to other fans. Banners and signs must be hand held and may not obstruct the view of other guests or Footprint Center advertising signage or be temporarily or permanently affixed to the building structure. The Footprint Center reserves the right to remove ANY banner or sign without exception. Signs should not be larger than 18″ x 24″.
Standard backpacks are not permitted inside the arena. Single-compartment drawstring bags, purses and diaper bags that have the appearance of a standard backpack and media backpacks are allowed as long as they meet the NBA bag-size requirements of 14” x 14” x 6”. Upon entry, guests with any bag larger than 4″ x 6″ are required to be screened through our X-ray technology machines. Guests with no bags or clutches smaller than 4″ x 6″ can use Evolv express entry lanes (Strongly recommend for quickest entry). Due to some concerts/events having different item restrictions, please contact the arena for more information at feedback@phxses.com.
Re-entry is not available for any games, concerts, or events.
All sales are final and refunds are only allowed in
limited circumstances. Before purchasing tickets, carefully review your event and
seat selection. Policies set forth by Event Organizers generally prohibit us
from issuing exchanges or refunds after a ticket has been purchased, or for
lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed tickets. Tickets therefore cannot be
replaced if they are lost, stolen, or damaged. If a refund is issued, it will
be processed to the original method of payment used at time of purchase. If a
refund is approved, we cannot issue a refund to a different credit or debit
card.
In the event of an emergency, please notify any Footprint Center representative or uniformed police officer in your area in order to ensure that appropriate emergency personnel are notified and dispatched.
Paramedics and EMTs are present during events at the Footprint Center; First Aid is located on the Main Concourse across from Section 116.
The Footprint Center is committed to providing every guest with a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Accessibility for our guests with disabilities is a high priority. For information regarding ticketing and seating, accessible drop-off locations, Assistive Listening Receivers, radios, and facility features, please visit our Footprint Accessibility webpage or contact a member of our Disability Services Staff at accessibility@suns.com or call 602-379-7592.
During an event you can visit the Guest Services Office located in the pavilion, at the Northwest corner of the building. You may also direct any questions regarding accessibility to the Guest Services hotline at 602-379-2060.
In the event a guest requires accessible seating for a particular event, accommodations may be made prior to that game based on availability. If this service is needed, the guest of record must contact Footprint Center Staff to arrange for relocation into accessible seating for themselves and one companion. As accessible seating is limited, advance notice is preferred in order for the Footprint Center to accommodate all our disabled guests. Day of game ticket exchanges are on a first come, first served basis.
If a guest and one companion are relocated to accessible seating, any price increase differential resulting from such seat relocation is the responsibility of the guest. For more information, please contact Footprint Center’s Disability Services Staff at accessibility@suns.com or 602-379-7592.
Wheelchair/companion fraud includes, but is not limited to, misrepresentation of a disability for the purpose of obtaining wheelchair/companion seating. The Footprint Center reserves the right to take appropriate action up to and including relocation, ejection, or season ticket revocation for wheelchair/ companion ticket fraud.
