Covid-19  -  Updated 5th Aug 2021

The virus outbreak has caused us to introduce many changes at the Phoenix that affect everything from how you buy tickets to what happens when you travel here and see your show.

How Do I Buy Tickets?
Our box office is currently closed as all commercial activities have been suspended until we are allowed to reopen All ticket sales from the box office have also been suspended. We regret that there are no staff availble to help with enquiries at this time.

Can I Choose My Seat?
At the moment we are changing all shows to being unallocated seating initially. This allows us to maintain the safety and security of all segments of our audience members who attend. Closer to the date a seating plan will be created that allows the appropriate social distancing at that time to be maintained. When you purchase your tickets we will contact you to check how many people are in your party and what seating requirements you may have.

What if I’m Unable to attend?
We will offer exchanges and credits at all times so that you can have the confidence that you will never lose the money you have paid for your tickets. 

If we are forced to cancel a show then we will offer an exchange, credit or you may decide to donate a partial or full amount of your ticket money to help support us. As shows book with us we now aim to offer them a second reserve date so if their is any disruption to the programme we can offer an alternative date as soon as posible.  

What is being done in the venue to keep people safe?
We have introduced several enhanced protocols and procedures you will notice during your visit.

• We will endeavour to keep queues as short as possible
• We are promoting a one-way experience that reinforces social distancing guidelines
• We are frequently cleaning and disinfecting throughout the building.
• Additional hand sanitiser dispensers are placed at key points throughout site
• Additional signage to promote hand washing and best hygiene practices has been
posted throughout the building.
• Additional training and PPE have been provided for all employees.
• Our staff are here to assist you with a safe journey through the venue.

What can I do to help promote a healthy environment?
We are doing all we can to promote a healthy environment, and in doing so, we also rely on you to keep recommended self-care in mind for your safety and the safety of others.
Throughout your experience, please be mindful of current Government and HSE guidelines as well as public health recommendations:

• If you or a member of your party has a temperature or is feeling unwell, please visit us another time. 
• Wash your hands often, using soap and water, for a minimum of 20 seconds.
• Help us promote social distancing by remaining at least two meters away from others who are not part of your party and do not shake hands or hug.
• Please keep your party together (especially if there are children in your group) to
help maintain social distancing with other audience members.
• If you must cough or sneeze, please do so into your elbow, not into your hand or into the air
