- As of March 1, 2022, wearing masks is no longer mandatory for guests while inside the Scotiabank Saddledome.
- We recognize that there are varying levels of comfort with these changes. We respect everyone’s right to make this personal choice, and appreciate that some patrons and staff may prefer to continue wearing face coverings. Please be kind and respectful of the personal choices of those around you.
4. Air Quality and Circulation
- MERV-13 (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rated filters are installed in the bowl areas of the Saddledome. These exceed provincial guidelines.
- Air in the seating bowl and throughout the Saddledome is refreshed with outside air multiple times throughout the event.
- Surface and air quality testing conducted during events to ensure we meet or exceed provincial guidelines.
5. Cashless / Contactless
- All food and beverage and retail operations within both venues have switched the point of sale (POS) system to Square Register thus allowing for contactless and cashless payments.
- Mobile ticketing allows for contactless scanning of event tickets from a mobile device, without the need to handle paper tickets. All event tickets are now provided as mobile tickets.
