There will be one merchandise booth located within the event venue that will sell Pokémon GO Tour–exclusive T-shirts to attendees while supplies last. There will also be one merchandise booth for preorder pick-ups.

Be advised that the merchandise shop is cashless.

Please note that because this booth is located within the venue, attendees will only be able to visit the merchandise booth during their ticketed session.

There will be an Information Booth located within the event. Stop by to get answers to your questions, receive registration help, learn about our accessibility plan, return found items or look for lost items, and learn more about Pokémon GO!

Pokémon GO Tour is proud to support those who may be nursing newborns during the event. Family restrooms will be available at the event. Please visit the Information Booth for the exact location.

There will be a Technical Support desk located within the event. The support staff can help you if you have issues with the event gameplay.

Plan Ahead and Prepare
Think about what you bring. Choose reusable bags or totes for your supplies and souvenir items to help eliminate plastic bag waste. Avoid buying single-use items and disposing of them while in the venue.

Stick to the Path
While playing, make sure to stick to designated paths and avoid any areas that are closed off. When vegetation is trampled, there is a greater chance that either weeds will grow back in its place or nothing will grow back at all. If everyone taking part in Pokémon GO Tour strayed from the path, our host venue could suffer severe impact, so help us take care of the park by sticking to dedicated paths and trails.

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Our goal for Pokémon GO Tour is to leave the venue better than we found it. As much as possible, things you bring into the venue should leave with you, too. For other waste, Pokémon GO Tour will have trash and recycling stations around the host venue for your use. Even leftover biodegradable materials, such as food scraps, should be disposed of in a compost bin. Though these items are biodegradable, they are not native to the host city and can create an eyesore for others. A general rule of thumb is to ask yourself, “Would this be here if I weren’t?” If the answer is no, then the best practice is to pack it out with you and dispose of it properly.

Keep Wildlife Wild
Observe wildlife from a distance and never feed them human food. Animals can become dependent on leftover food or trash and become aggressive as a result. By sticking to paths and not approaching wildlife, you avoid stressing animals or damaging their habitat.

Leave It as You Find It
If each visitor picked a flower, collected a rock, or didn’t properly dispose of waste, then the natural habitat would be depleted. Leave the venues and city as you find them to protect the habitat of plants and animals, as well as the outdoor experiences of millions of visitors. Even better, with the help of fellow Trainers, we can leave our host city better than we found it!

Garbage/refuse collection and disposal is ultimately the responsibility of everyone. Any and all refuse generated must be properly disposed of in receptacles located throughout the venue. Please dispose of your trash in the correct receptacles, as notated by signs.

All ticket holders are allowed to re-enter the event throughout their ticketed session. Only ticket holders will be able to participate in the Pokémon GO Tour gameplay experience and specialized elements.

Trainers requiring additional support while inside the venue, including minors and individuals with disabilities, are asked to limit companions to a maximum of two. Companions will be asked to enter the venue through designated companion lanes. Venue staff can assist with locating and using these lanes.

Security guards will be located throughout the areas of the event to provide assistance. If additional assistance is needed, find the nearest security staff or text 626-400-5119.

Pokémon GO Tour is ADA compliant, including accessible entrances and restrooms. Power outlets for recharging devices will be located at specific locations across the venue. For more information on accessibility accommodations, visit the Information Booth during operational hours. Services offered at the Information Booth include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Answers to questions specific to the ADA access program
• Information relevant to our patrons with disabilities

If you encounter a guest with a disability who has any access questions or needs assistance, please direct them to the Information Booth.

Please be considerate of all Pokémon GO Tour attendees. Never ask the nature of a person’s disability. Never push a mobility device or wheelchair unless asked, but you can help clear crowds as appropriate.

A patron requiring insulin is allowed to bring their medically necessary materials and medications as long as all medicine has a prescription label with the patron’s name. Out of concern for the festival staff who handle the trash, patrons are expected to dispose of medical waste and syringes in the proper disposal located at the Public Safety Building adjacent to Gate A inside the stadium or the medical area on the golf course. These locations will be designated on the map provided prior to the event. Please do not dispose of these items in other trash bins at the event.

If additional support is required, please check in at the medical area.

The venue grounds are ADA accessible, but please be aware that this is a venue with distances between attractions. The length of the experience is about 1.3 miles. Bear in mind that Pokémon GO Tour is an outdoor event where most travel is over natural terrain and pathways. Be prepared for rain or shine. Pokémon GO Tour does not provide wheelchairs for rent or loan, personal care, golf cart rides, or push services of any kind. Guests should make arrangements in advance if a wheelchair is needed and plan to bring attendants, if required.

Motorized vehicles, such as Segways and golf carts, are not allowed.

Accessible toilets are available throughout the venue.

A Rose Bowl Stadium campus map (with bathrooms) will be available soon.

Pre-paid ADA parking is available within the park on a “first come, first served” basis. Once accessible parking lots fill, patrons will be directed to the closest available general parking area. In some instances, the closest available accessible parking is on grass.

Patrons with a state-issued accessible parking placard or license plate will be required to present their accessible identification/registration card upon request. The Rose Bowl Stadium honors out-of-state accessible placards and identification/registration cards.

Accessible parking spaces are located at several locations within multiple lots around the venue. ADA and access vehicle drop-off and pick-up at Rose Bowl Stadium and in the Arroyo Seco is located in the northeast corner of Lot I of the Rose Bowl Stadium parking lots.

Please reference the Parking section above for more information.

Service animals will be permitted inside the event space with proper credentials. Service animals include guide dogs, signal dogs or other animals that have been trained to provide support to a person with disabilities. Any other animal poses a threat to the health and safety of others and will not be permitted inside the event space. We thank you for your cooperation.

No outside food or beverage will be permitted with the exception of up to two (2) factory-sealed water bottles. There will be a variety of food vendors on-site.

Hydration stations to refill water bottles and water fountains will be located throughout the golf course and Rose Bowl Stadium. Don’t forget to bring your reusable water bottle to fill up and keep yourself refreshed throughout the event. Please be mindful of the weather. Drink water even if you don’t feel thirsty. We want everyone to stay hydrated and healthy during Pokémon GO Tour!

Pokémon GO Tour will have food vendors that will be able to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten dietary needs. Please visit the Information Booth for a full list of vendors and further information.

The event will take place rain or shine. Please dress appropriately for the weather conditions. No refunds will be given due to inclement weather. In the case of extreme weather, directions to the nearest shelters will be communicated to attendees.
