Description

UNIONDALE, NY — Nassau Coliseum is following the latest rules issued by the state for indoor facilities and large gatherings. Comedy group Dude Perfect is scheduled to perform at Oct. 9 with a crowd of fewer than 5,000 people. That means proof of vaccination or valid COVID-19 testing will not be required for entry. However, guests are encouraged to wear face coverings and practice social distancing where possible. Michael Buble has a show lined up for Oct. 15. The seating capacity will be greater than 5,000 and therefore, as required by New York State's guidelines, all guests age 5 and older must show evidence of being fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to the concert. The other acceptable option is showing proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test more than 72 hours prior or a rapid test taken not more than six hours before entering the venue. The Coliseum accepts proof of vaccine via the state's Excelsior Pass app or an original digital photo or photocopy of both sides of the CDC vaccination card. Guests can also show an official vaccination record issued by another state, country or the World Health Organization. Checkpoints for vaccination proof or negative test results will take place at the main entrance. The Coliseum said they will not permit re-entry. Face coverings must be worn by guests who present a negative test result, other than while eating or drinking. Cash will not be accepted anywhere in the Coliseum.
