  • All fans two years of age or older being required to wear a mask
  • Enhanced surface and air disinfection systems
  • Physical distancing in the stands and while navigating the venue
  • A health survey screening for all guests as they enter the facility
  • Cashless payments in the parking lot and for food and beverage services
  • Bags are prohibited for all Raptors games at the arena.

“In these unique and challenging times, the Raptors are grateful to be able to work closely with the NBA, the Lightning organization and local public health officials to create a safe opportunity for a limited number of fans to take in games,” said Tom McDonald, Vice President of Ticket Sales and Service for MLSE.

Tickets for Raptors home games will be sold on Ticketmaster.com starting as low as $30 beginning at 10 a.m. on Thursday with the sale of the pre-season game along with the first 11 regular seasons games through to the end of January.
