Government advice on safe return of spectators

Highlights of the report include management responsibilities and operational considerations, including ticketing of seated and standing areas. 

Seating and standing areas should maintain SD wherever possible and reduce the movement of spectators between seats/areas. Key principles include:

● Seating should be allocated wherever possible and seat plans should be managed through the competition ticketing system

● Where allocated seating is not possible, seating or standing plans should be developed which maintain SD, with clear demarcation of the seats or standing areas which spectators can and cannot use

● Seated spectators should remain in seats registered to their contact details at the point of sale

● Spectators should be seated as individuals or where tickets were purchased in a group, within that group. Group ticket purchases should follow social distancing guidelines for seeing family and friends in regards to number of people in a group, and number of households in a group, appropriate to indoor and outdoor settings.

● All individuals and groups within seated or standing areas should maintain current SD with other individuals and/or other groups and/or within groups of two household.

● Seating and space for spectators with disabilities should comply with SD arrangements and have due regard to accessibility responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010
