COVID-19 Vaccination & Testing
All concertgoers will be required to either provide a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the event, or proof of full vaccination. This negative COVID-19 test result (molecular, PCR or antigen) must be administered by an official testing center and must be dated no more than 72 hours prior to entry. Home testing kit results will not be accepted for entry. A photo of your negative test or vaccine card will be accepted.

Learn more about accessing your Washington State vaccination records online here. Free COVID-19 testing in your area may be found by using this resource from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

Face Coverings
Face coverings are required, regardless of vaccination status, by state order. Per the WA State Dept. of Health, a face covering is anything that completely covers your mouth and nose, and fits securely on the sides of your face and under your chin. It should be made of two or more layers of tightly woven fabric with ties or straps that go around your head or behind your ears. Please note: Eyes must be visible.

Please continue to monitor this page, as well as our Reopening page for current health and safety protocols.

Please review the EDM Guidelines to expedite entry into the building.

The Tacoma Dome is a cashless facility, including all concession and merchandise sales. Google Pay and Apple Pay are also available at concession points of sale. There are cash-to-card kiosks (reverse ATM’s) where guests can exchange their cash for a Tacoma Dome VISA card. Card balances remain usable anywhere after the event. Going cashless improves the transaction process, reduces wait times, and limits guest to staff contact. Cashless parking payment options are also available. Please visit our Cashless FAQs for more information.

Patrons attending must be 18 years of age or older with valid, government issued photo ID. 
Most tickets are digital. Be prepared to have your digital ticket scanned for entry. Make sure to retrieve your tickets ahead of time and don’t forget to charge your phone.
No re-entry or Ins & Outs.
