2015 GENERAL MDBP GUIDELINES
Special Note About CamelBak-style Water Bladder Systems
• Although CamelBak-style water bladder systems are allowed empty into the venue, the water
bladders themselves must be capable of being removed from the carrier and must be
transparent enough to allow security to visually inspect the empty bladder. Additionally
CamelBak-style bladder carriers must have no more than 2 main compartments and 1
small compartment. Any CamelBak- style water bladder that cannot be removed from
the carrier and/or is opaque enough to prevent visual inspection, and any CamelBakstyle bladder carriers larger than the permitted size will not be allowed into the venue.
Special Note About Prescription and OTC Medications
• Prescription medication are allowed only in the original prescription bottle, any persons
attempting to bring in prescription medication must have a government-issued photo
identification card that matches the name printed on the prescription, and the pills in the
bottle must match the description printed on the prescription. Further, if a person has
mixed multiple pills in a single prescription container or if a person is attempting to enter
with prescription pills in a non-prescription container, medical representatives should be
involved to make the final determination about whether or not such pills are to be
allowed in the venue.
• Over-the-counter medications are allowed in provided that they are new and the original,
factory- sealed container.
Special Note About Focus Light Beam Devices
Focus light beam devices of any kind or type, including laser pointers, are not allowed into
MDBP events.
The MDBP Tour requires that security inside the venue be diligent in addressing focus light
beam devices that may make it through the searches.
As allowed by local laws, it is requested that security remove or render useless the any focus
light beam devices that make it into the venue; should local law prevent the confiscation of
batteries and/or the devices themselves, it shall be at the sole discretion of security personnel,
in accordance with typical venue policies, as to how focus light beam devices are addressed.
