ROH Bringing Back Fans in July

Ring of Honor announced that they’ll be bringing back live fans to their shows for the first time since the pandemic shut things down in the US.

Fans will be allowed back for their “Best In The World” PPV on Sunday, July 11 at the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, MD.

The arena seats 4,000-5,000, but the show will have an unspecified “limited capacity.”

“The event will have limited capacity, and ‘pod’ seating will be implemented to ensure proper social distancing of six feet between each group of ticket holders,” ROH’s announcement said. “Additionally, temperatures will be taken upon entry and masks will be required to be worn by all attendees throughout the event.”

Full announcement:

ROH WELCOMES BACK FANS AT BEST IN THE WORLD PAY-PER-VIEW!

For the first time in nearly a year and a half, The Best Wrestling On The Planet will be presented LIVE and in-person to the best wrestling fans of the planet.

Ring of Honor is welcoming fans back into the arena for the Best In The World pay-per-view at the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena (previously known as UMBC Event Center) in Baltimore on Sunday night, July 11th, 2021!

As always, the health and well-being of fans are ROH’s top priorities. The event will have limited capacity, and “pod” seating will be implemented to ensure proper social distancing of six feet between each group of ticket holders. Additionally, temperatures will be taken upon entry and masks will be required to be worn by all attendees throughout the event.

Pods are available in all ticket quantities throughout the arena up to a maximum of six seats per group. For larger orders, fans can contact ROH directly at help@rohwrestling.com before tickets go on-sale to help ensure they get seats as close together as possible.

Final health and safety policies will be provided approximately 2-3 weeks before the event as the pandemic conditions and government guidelines continue to change. Any refund requests due to the conditions of the pandemic or stringency of health and safety policies will be honored.

“Our locker room-full of tremendous athletes have missed the energy of connecting with our great fans that you only get with a live show,” ROH COO Joe Koff said. “We look forward to giving them more of the best bell-to-bell action, including the return of the ‘Survival of the Fittest’ tournament and the highly anticipated Women’s Championship Tournament this summer.

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of our talented athletes, fans and everyone who has done their part to keep each other safe. It’s been a challenging year, no doubt, but we’re excited to continue to ramp up what we do best. Nothing beats the thrill of witnessing The Best Wrestling on the Planet and seeing your favorite stars LIVE and in-person. We would like to do this still with the fans’ safety, health and well-being as ROH’s top priorities.”

Due to the pandemic, ROH has not held an event in front of fans since February of last year. ROH resumed TV tapings last summer at UMBC Event Center with no spectators and under the strictest COVID-19 protocols in conjunction with the Maryland State Athletic Commission.

Despite not having fans in attendance, the action in ROH has been as hot as ever. The buzz-worthy happenings include the revival of Pure wrestling; faction warfare being waged between La Faccion Ingobernable, The Foundation and Violence Unlimited; an infusion of new talent; and the return of the women’s division.

ROH’s stars undoubtedly are chomping at the bit to perform in front of a live crowd and show why they are the best wrestlers on the planet. Don’t miss your opportunity to see the hard-hitting, in-your-face action that only ROH can deliver live and in person at Best In The World!
