The decision came following the same-day announcement made by the Ontario Government. They ordered the capacity reduction for indoor venues with capacities of 1,000 or more to combat the Omnicron variant of the COVID-19 virus. The cut allows for 2,025 fans to be in attendance.
All Season Ticket Members will be guaranteed their seats for every game. Anyone with tickets for Saturday night’s game is still entitled to attend unless otherwise communicated with by Petes or Box Office staff members.
The Petes will continue to work with Peterborough Public Health and the PMC to ensure that all attendees at home games can participate in a safe and fun environment, and will update fans as the organization learns more about the restrictions in the coming days and weeks.
All fans attending Petes game are reminded to follow public health measures at the PMC, including:
Face coverings are mandatory at all times unless actively eating or drinking in your ticketed seat.
Children under the age of two will not require a face covering/mask.
Physical distancing guidelines must be followed. There are markers on the floor to help people stay a minimum of two metres apart.
Hands must be washed or sanitized regularly. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the facility.
Ticket holders are required to submit a contact tracing form online prior to entry that lists the full name and phone number for each ticket holder in their group. This form also includes a list of active screening questions.
