Charge your phone and save your ticket, address and return details. Agree on a meeting point with friends and how you will contact each other if separated. Read the venue’s device policy so you know where you can use the phone during the visit.

A photo or video may capture guests in the background as well as your friends. Get permission from the people you want to include and follow the venue’s rules. Put the phone away in a restricted area. Ask staff where you can send a message if you need to coordinate a pickup.

Look for faces, names, location tags and other identifying details before publishing a picture. Ask again if the proposed post goes beyond what someone agreed to. At a venue where guests expect privacy, you may decide to keep the phone stored for the whole visit. Private messages can also be forwarded, so consider what a screenshot reveals before sending it.
