Here’s the kicker: if you show up with no bag at all, you skip the entire line. You walk right past the bag checkers like a ghost with no baggage, literally. The look on the security guard’s face when you breeze through? It’s the same look a cat gives a dog when it escapes the room. Pure, unadulterated superiority.
But if you must carry something, just buy a cheap clutch that’s smaller than your phone. Trust me, no one at DPAC cares about your clutch. They’re too busy looking for hoodies and hiking packs full of citrus fruit.

Final Warning: Read the Sign Twice
The DPAC bag policy is printed on a 8.5 by 11 inch piece of paper posted near the entrance. It’s about the size of a sheet of notebook paper, which is exactly the size of a bag that’s too big to bring in. The irony would be funny if it wasn’t ruining your night.
So next time you’re heading to DPAC, remember: go small, go clear, or go home. And if you see someone in line with a giant tote bag and a hopeful expression, buy them a drink later. They’ve already lost the battle, and they didn’t even know they were fighting.
Now go forth, pack light, and enjoy the show. Your dignity—and your bag—will thank you.
