Ardmore Music Hall Requiring Masks For All Patrons, Staff

ARDMORE, PA — With the surge of the coronavirus Delta Variant, more businesses are requiring proof of vaccination and face masks to allow patrons in.

And on the Main Line, the Ardmore Music Hall is joining the growing number of establishments enacting such protocols.

The venue announced recently that it will require guests wear masks when not eating and drinking inside the venue.

"We feel that it’s important to take proactive precautions to mitigate risk and promote fan, artist and staff safety. Also, nobody wants to be forced to shut down again," the venue said in its announcement. "While transmission in our part of Pennsylvania is moderate, vaccination rates are above average and the CDC does not yet require masks indoors in our area, we need to take responsible steps toward everyone's safety."

Patrons will be able to go outside to get fresh air and reenter the venue.

While the venue itself is not requiring show goers show proof of vaccination and test negative for the virus, requirements for proof of vaccination or negative test will be at each artist’s discretion.

"This Friday (Everyone's Dead) and Saturday (Steve Kimock & Friends), our visiting artists will require proof of vaccination, (in the form of a vaccine card or a legible photo of a vaccine card) or a copy or photocopy of a negative test result, for the safety of all involved," the venue announced. "Refunds will be issued for those who, for any reason, are unable to provide proof of either one."

The Ardmore Music Hall also said its HVAC and air filtration systems are new, and that fans will be circulating at all times.
