Dodgers plan vaccinated section

For Saturday’s game against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers are opening what they’re calling a “fully vaccinated fan section.” If Saturday’s test run goes well, the Dodgers will consider adding sections for vaccinated fans at other games.

The seats for fully vaccinated fans are in the loge level, in the two sections closest to the visiting bullpen. As of Wednesday afternoon, available tickets were priced from $121 to $154.

Masks will be required in those sections, as in others, but social distancing will not be. As the Dodgers put it: “Persons seated in these sections will be seated directly next to other parties.”

Fans 16 and older will be required to provide documentation showing that at least two weeks have passed since a final vaccination dose. Children from 2 to 15 will be required to show proof they have tested negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours of admission to Dodger Stadium.

Such sections, previously announced by the Padres and San Francisco Giants, are in accordance with state public health guidelines.
