Our Commitment to Your Health & Safety

 

ASM Richmond is committed to the health and safety of our patrons, guests, artists, performers, crew, and staff. We have implemented best practices around cleanliness, sanitation, air filtration, and more throughout our venues. You can learn more about the steps we are taking, including the comprehensive VenueShield program, below.

Additionally, we are working closely with our artists, promoters, and touring companies on their decisions around COVID requirements for patrons. Ultimately, they will decide what they think is right for their fan base and we will implement those requirements on their behalf, possibly including proof of vaccination, a negative COVID test, and face masks. 

Please check the show’s event page on the venue website for the latest information and requirements related to the performance you are attending. Please note these policies are subject to change.
