Coronavirus concerns cancel all SLO PAC events. Here’s what ticketholders should do
The Performing Arts Center in San Luis Obispo on Thursday canceled events at the venue through the end of March due to concerns about coronavirus.
Cancellations at the Performing Arts Center, also known as the PAC, include a performance from Celtic band Cherish the Ladies, which was scheduled to take place on 7:30 p.m Thursday.
All other PAC events have been canceled or will be postponed until the end of the month, said Kristen Teufel, marketing and communications manager for the PAC.
Cal Poly Arts shows at the PAC, will resume on April 3, said Rob Laacke, Cal Poly Arts marketing and public relations director for Cal Poly Arts.
Teufel said all other PAC events are expected to resume starting on April 1. However, patrons are encouraged to check the PAC website at pacslo.org for up-to-date information, she said.
The Cal Poly ticket office will issue ticket refunds starting on March 18. The venue cannot issue refunds for tickets purchased through Groupon, Goldstar and other third-party sellers.
“Depending on the process and timeline for rescheduling certain shows, we will communicate with patrons of those specific shows with more specific information in this regard,” the PAC wrote in a news release. “We greatly appreciate your patience as we arrange refunds for thousands of ticket purchases.”
The PAC joins numerous other organizations throughout the county that are canceling events to help curb coronavirus transmission.
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday urged California organizations to cancel or postpone events with more than 250 people.
Cal Poly on Thursday announced the university will delay the start of spring quarter classes for a week to prevent the spread of the virus.
No COVID-19 cases had been reported in San Luis Obispo County, as of Thursday evening.
