INTERIM COVID SAFETY & TICKETING POLICIES
Are masks required?
No, but we are still STRONGLY ENCOURAGING masks in the lobby, mezzanine, bathroom, & bar areas, and not requiring them in the theatre (but still STRONGLY recommend them). We encourage all guests to wear KN95 grade masks or higher. Masks are required to be worn over nose and mouth in all indoor public spaces unless actively eating or drinking.
**At the request of a promoter, artist and/or artist management, we may require enhanced COVID safety measures for a particular show in the auditorium performance area (e.g.: an artist may require masks at all times, full vaccination, and NOT accept negative tests as a condition of entry). Any additional safety requirements will be listed on the show-specific purchase page.
Please read all requirements carefully as ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NON-TRANSFERABLE & NON-REFUNDABLE – no exceptions.
What forms of proof are accepted for entry?
Proof of vaccination may include a physical card or a photo of a complete vaccination record card (with the course completed at least 14 days prior) that matches the patron ID. Or, proof of a negative test administered by a medical professional. Antigen or PCR tests accepted. It may be a printed or digital test result that matches the patron ID. Proof via a photo or trusted App also works, e.g.:Excelsior Pass, Clear, VeriFLY, IATA, etc.
What if you are not vaccinated?
We are no longer checking for vaccination status. However, per the note above** some shows may require vaccination only and negative tests will not be accepted.
What safety protocols are in place?
Social distancing encouraged. We are operating at regular capacity for shows and in our restaurants & bars. We are also following all state and local safety mandates. We ask anyone who is feeling unwell to stay home. Our staff are required to be vaccinated.
Where can I get a COVID test?
WVT (Willamette Valley Toxicology) has an appointment-based testing location at the old downtown Corvallis Baskin Robbins location.
Click here to schedule a test in advance of the show – appointments and result times subject to change.
Please note that testing times and delays can be significant due to the ever-changing phases of the pandemic. Please allow yourself ample time to get tested. Testing is solely the responsibility of the event attendee.
INTERIM COVID TICKETING POLICIES
Ticketing support? Please contact us via email.
Can’t find your ticket order? No worries! We have a door list and will account for your ticket there.
ALL ticket sales are FINAL, NON-TRANSFERABLE – no exceptions.**
**Unless the show is canceled OR unless a previously scheduled show was moved to a new date; in this scenario, ticket holders will be notified of the new date via purchaser email and will have 14 days to request a refund from the date of the announcement of the rescheduled show date. No refunds will be processed after the 14 day window.
With immense respect to our customers and our artists, we cannot and will not process refunds for any other reason. We thank everyone in advance for your kind understanding of the above stated policy.
How (and when) do you contact ticket holders about a COVID19 affected show?
Once we work out the logistics with the artist and their management, we will send status and schedule updates to the email address associated with the original ticket purchase.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER IN CASE IT WENT THERE. While we are working hard to get all shows rescheduled and customers updated in a timely manner, we humbly request everyone’s patience. Nationwide tours take time to reschedule – it’s like Tetris, only not nearly as fun.
The show I have tickets for was COVID postponed to a TBD date, what happens next?
We will work hard to announce the new date when the artist gives us the green light to do so; in the meantime, we ask ticket holders to stand-by and hold on to their tickets. They will be valid at the rescheduled date.
The show I have tickets for was postponed due to COVID and a new date was announced. I cannot attend the new date. What are my options?
Once we have messaged all ticket holders the reschedule date, each ticket holder has 14 days from the date of our reschedule announcement to request a refund for their purchase.
The show I have tickets for was canceled due to COVID. What happens next?
Once the artist or artist management cancels their show and gives us the OK to message ticket holders, we will refund ticket purchasers via the original payment method.
We will keep everyone posted when this changes. Thanks for your kindness & understanding. We really mean that. The show must go on…..
