Hi Tessitura Community!
I work for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in Rochester, NY and per NYS guidelines we are now able to host events with designated vaccinated sections without any social distancing. All other non-vaccinated sections would need to continue the 6ft spacing rule.
We are playing a number of shows at the Perinton Recreation Center. This venue has tiered grass sections (see screen shot below). There are no physical seats already in place. My question to you all is would it be possible to have designated GA sections for vaccinated people and reserved seated pods distanced 6ft apart for non-vaccinated people in the same facility?
I am curious to know if any other organizations have a similar situation. Thank you in advance for your help!
It is possible. We have four GA sections attached to our main reserved seat facility of Jones Hall. One GA section for on-stage seating (in that rare occurrence), one for standby passes, and the other two are for whatever else might happen to come along (ie. moving people who did not attend during the pandemic). Then the reserved seating we have set in pods utilizing blackout holds. Would you be building a brand new facility or tacking GA sections onto an existing facility? If you have further questions let me know.
Best,
Heather
I would be adding GA sections to an existing reserved pod seated facility. Would you be able to send me some screenshots of this facility in Tessitura? My email is dlippa@.org. Thank you! Here is an example of our current facility:

Sure. Give me a bit.
