FAQ: Food & Drink

Is it allowed to bring food and beverage from outside into the arena?

It is not allowed to bring food or beverages into the arena. We here summarize the reasons for this:

  1. In our own control program regarding food and beverage we have a responsibility to secure that food and beverages that are being consumed in Malmö Arena is being handled in a hygienic and good way.
  2. At many events the artist’s or the production’s security organization doesn’t allow food and beverage being brought in. The reason for this is that thru a security perspective it is impossible to secure that for example alcohol or flammable liquids not are being brought in.
  3. Our liquor license is based on that we have control of age, serving areas and sobriety.

If there is a need for special diet our ambition is to always be accommodating and find solutions as long as it’s possible. Email us at security@malmoarena.com and we will try to coordinate it.
