Cleanliness & Safety

We have evolved our cleaning and safety measures to meet the demands of the current health landscape. We’ve rewritten our protocols to a standard we call “We Clean with Care” which translates to rigorous measures involving sanitizing and disinfecting our venues with increased frequency and implementing new personal safety best practices.

Bojangles Entertainment Complex venues are GBAC STAR Accredited facilities, which ensures implementation of the industry’s highest standards for cleaning and disinfection. Training has been provided to all employees and is ongoing according to established guidelines provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Mecklenburg County Health Department.

Our staff and third-party partners are continually reminded of the proper steps necessary through frequent handwashing and staying at home if he/she recognizes any symptoms or does not feel well.

Additional enhanced safety measures include, but are not limited to:

• Routine cleaning of all high touch point locations.
• Plexiglass barriers at concession stands.
• New hand sanitizing stations and wipe stations throughout the venue.
• Electrostatic disinfectant spray to sanitize all high touch surfaces and high traffic areas within the venue.
• Touchless payment and ticketing procedures.
• Needlepoint bipolar ionization technology, which delivers safer, cleaner air.

Health and hygiene reminders are posted throughout the facility to remind our guests of best practices. Signage is also posted throughout the back-of-house reminding employees of their commitment to provide for their health and safety as well as that of our guests through frequent hand washing as well as proper sneezing and coughing etiquette to prevent the spread of germs.

Water fountains have been shut down to assist in our safety measures. Bottled water is available for purchase in our concession stands.

Dozens of hand sanitizer stations are installed strategically throughout the building in high traffic areas including the lobby and concourses. The event management team has increased team members to specifically monitor soap/ sanitizer dispensers and refill as needed on event dates. Hand sanitizing stations have been placed in strategic, high-traffic front of house areas to ensure guests are never more than 65 feet away from a hand sanitizer dispenser or soap and water.

The Mecklenburg County mask mandate has been lifted as of 2/26/22. Masks are no longer required at Bojangles Coliseum and Ovens Auditorium, but requirements may vary on a show-by-show basis. As we navigate this ever-evolving health & safety landscape, please have patience with our Bojangles Entertainment Complex team members and your fellow guests.

Bojangles Entertainment Complex has integrated needlepoint bipolar ionization (NPBI) air purification technologies into its HVAC systems as another layer of protection to eliminate and neutralize disease-causing pathogens such as COVID-19. The complex and the CRVA are proud to offer this technology to create a safer, healthier environment for event attendees and the newly installed technology strongly complements the team’s already robust cleaning practices.

A proactive and preventative measure that’s often found in hospital settings, NPBI creates millions of positive and negative ions that form a cluster around harmful viruses, mold and bacteria molecules. These particles are disengaged and further broken down. The result is cleaner air and a healthier environment with less risk of infectious outbreak.

Social distancing and pod seating will no longer be in effect. Almost all of our events are opening up to full capacity.

Temperature checks are not mandated for guests through Bojangles Entertainment Complex health & safety guidelines. If mandated by the state and local jurisdictions or requested by the event/promoter, patrons will have their temperatures checked prior to entry, using an infrared thermometer, provided by Bojangles Entertainment Complex. Per CDC guidelines, patrons that register a temperature of 100.4 degrees or above will be further evaluated by onsite medical personnel. If a high temperature is confirmed, the patron will not be permitted to enter the BOplex.

Most events at Bojangles Entertainment Complex are operating at full capacity. Shows reserve the right to implement additional capacity restrictions and safety protocols at their discretion.

Pod seating will no longer be in effect. Almost all of our events are opening up to full capacity.

Patrons are strongly encouraged to purchase tickets in advance online. The box office will be staffed during events and team members will be available to assist if needed. Once capacity limits are met, tickets will no longer be available at the box office.

Bojangles Entertainment events will utilize mobile ticketing for cashless transactions. To access your mobile ticket, sign in to Ticketmaster.com or the Ticketmaster mobile app.

All patrons must have their ticket or barcode visible for ticketing staff to scan. Ticket takers will refrain from touching patrons’ phones or tickets to keep the interactions touchless.

To help expedite entry and alleviate touchpoints, we recommend not bringing bags into the venue. If you must bring a bag, it must be a purse, tote bag or diaper bag no larger than 14x14x6 inches. All bags subject to search.

Clear or mesh bags are recommended, but not required.

We will operate with cashless transactions by accepting debit and credit cards for all onsite purchases. Hand sanitizer stations have also been installed throughout the building.

Please refer to your shows' specific information regarding any meet and greet opportunities.
