BBC Proms to reopen at full capacity

BBC Proms will open at full capacity, with audiences encouraged to wear masks and Covid status certification checks on arrival.

To enter the Royal Albert Hall, patrons over the age of 18 must provide evidence of full vaccination via the NHS, a negative lateral flow test taken within 48 hours of the performance, or proof of natural immunity via a positive PCR test result in the past six months.

"The safety of our audiences is our main priority and we are taking every step we can to open the Proms safely without social distancing," the BBC said.

The Proms opens on July 30 and runs until September 11.

Tickets will be available on the day of each concert priced for £6.
