sporting events, concerts and live performances have had strict exchange and refund policies. In a new era where we want to discourage people who are ill from going out in public, are tours and artists willing to relax their guarantees? How are we looking to make our audiences comfortable and confident when they return to one of our events?
A: Many of our events are presented by outside promoters, all of whom are revising their own policies around refunds and exchanges, so there are a lot of moving pieces. We have worked hard to build relationships with the more than 200,000 theatregoers who come through our door each year, and we will not ask them to choose between their own safety and enjoying a performance. We will work with those outside promoters to give our audiences options, and to be transparent about those options.
We must and will prioritize the health and safety of our audience, and when our doors do open again, we will be following an aggressive set of cleaning and disinfecting protocols as well as rethinking our ticketing and lobbies to provide for a more sociallydistanced and “touchless” visit.
