Hygiene around the venue
We are working closely with the venue to ensure a clean and safe environment for you to enjoy the event. The SEC have implemented a number of protocols to ensure hygiene.
- Ventilation has been increased, improving fresh air circulation by changing our air handling units to draw in fresh air, as opposed to recirculating air.
- Enhanced all cleaning throughout the venue before, during and after your visit. With a focus on high touch point areas.
- SEC venues operate a cashless system. They only accept contactless or card payments at our box office, food & drink outlets, merchandise sales points and cloakroom.
- Supporting the Check in Scotland service and ask you to scan the QR codes on display at all entry points.
For more information on what to expect onsite please refer to the SEC’s website.
