The Lakers sent out an email to season ticket holders tonight that outlined the requirements for fans to get back into games. Ticketholders will have to either:
1) Provide proof they are already fully vaccinated, i.e. 2 weeks post their second shot (or only shot for the J&J).

2) "Provide proof from a health care provider of a negative COVID-19 test result within 72 hours of tip off, along with CA ID/Drivers license and your ticket for the game. There will be no on-site testing at STAPLES Center."
Some other changes:
-There will be a no bag policy, with the exception of medical/child care bags.
-Concessions will be available through a mobile ordering system, food and drinks must be consumed in designated eating areas. No food or drinks will be allowed in your seats.

There is a pseudo lottery to get tickets, with longer-time ticketholders being given seniority. Because of capacity limits, most are being limited to pick one game a month, and are not guaranteed to get tickets in the same area as the seats they pay for.
Once inside the building, all fans over the age of 2 will be required to wear a face mask "that completely covers their nose and mouth" at all times.
Per the email, "Single layer cloth masks, neck gaiters, bandanas, and masks with valves or vents are not permitted."

Another rule: "Except for fans within the same seating 'pod' anyone inside the arena must maintain at least six feet of distance from each other."
These things should probably be obvious after a year of this, but the Lakers are making sure people know upfront.
