Frequently ask questions
Do I need to show my ID to attend an event?
To enter Bourbon Event Center for any event, a valid federal or state ID (driver’s license, state ID, passport) is required to verify age. We strictly enforce this policy for all attendees and collaborate with State ABC and local law enforcement to uphold regulations. Admission may be denied to individuals without valid ID, and a second form may be requested if needed. Bourbon Event Center will confiscate fake IDs and report them to the Police. Using another person’s ID or lending one is illegal, resulting in fines, community service, and potential jail time. Possessing a fraudulent ID is a felony, leading to a minimum one-year license suspension, recorded on public motor vehicle records for seven years.
