Sounds like I’ll not need my proof of vaccination letter then.

If anyone went to Nottingham, what was their entry procedure like there?

What happened to checking for double vaccination or negative COVID test?
So did you just show your tickets at the door and off you go then with no questions?
Yes just turned up to the door showed our tickets, got scanned with a security wand and went in. Didn’t ask for anything COVID related. Inside very few, and I mean only a small number, wore face masks.
we will be wearing our in the queues to get in and anytime on concourse for certain, it won't affect me what others do or think, i need the piece of mind and added safety of wearing one, if you see me or my family in a mask, please dont judge me, you probably haven't a clue what health issues I am battling... :mask:

I was asked at the bottom of the stairs outside if I had anything on me that I shouldn't - when I answered no I was free to walk up

There were no scanners in side. I didn't even show my game ticket to anyone - I literally could have walked up on the night and waltzed straight in.

It was very strange to be honest.

We went to Nottingham, we just showed them our paper ticket and they let us right in.

It did look like they were having a brief look into peoples bags who had them, but there were no metal detectors or any checks of vaccinations (for us at least).

When we went to the arena on Sunday, we just had to show our tickets, and then they did a quick sweep with the metal detector paddle, but again, nothing was asked for in relation to vaccinations / proof of negative tests.

Thanks.

It sounds like a case of the arena says one thing but does another then.

At least that should keep the queues down.

I’ll take my vaccination letter just in case.

My experience on Sunday was a little different from what has been reported. Covid passports were scanned ed at the bottom of the steps before we were allowed to join the queues outside the Blue doors. Tickets were scanned and we were wanded on entry. There was also a sniffer dog in evidence.

We were asked at the bottom of the steps to the green doors if we were double vaccinated. I said yes and went in my bag to show proof, the security chap said “that’s ok, I believe you”. Not many masks in the queues or on concourse and definitely not when seated.

To update my own thread, for the Cardiff game we were asked if we could provide our double jab status, although a verbal confirmation would have been fine I was told by security staff.

I saw the sniffer dog and everyone was wanded after ticket scanning.

Very few people wore a mask.

We were asked if we were negative or double jabbed, we said double jabbed and was asked IF we had proof, we did so showed it, but I get the feeling our word would have been good enough, searching the babies Nappy bag took the longest time... :hey:

No Covid questions for me this time, was wanded. It didn’t pick up any of the coins in my pocket though so bit useless really.
