Those purchasing or attending PTP events voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19. In accordance with PTP’s Code of Conduct, PTP reserves the right to require attendees who do not follow our guidelines, or who are disrespectful to staff, artists, volunteers, or other patrons, to leave an event immediately without a refund.
