UFC, the world’s premier mixed martial arts organization, and CLEAR
announced a partnership to utilize CLEAR’s Health Pass to
more safely welcome fans back at UFC® 261. USMAN vs. MASVIDAL 2 at
VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla. on Saturday, April 24,
2021.The event represents the first, sold out, major sporting event with full
capacity at an indoor arena in the United States since last year. Tickets
for UFC® 261: USMAN vs. MASVIDAL 2 sold

than 15,000 fans is expected. Get tickets to View on TV or online HERE.
Health Pass is a free, mobile experience by CLEAR that securely
connects a user’s verified identity to multiple layers of COVID-19-related
health information to help reduce public health risk.
Ticket holders will be able to use Health Pass to connect
their identity with a securely linked, confidential COVID-related health
questionnaire. All ticket holders are required to complete this
questionnaire in advance, creating a seamless and expedited entry into VyStar
Veterans Memorial Arena for those who are issued a green notification on
their Health Pass app.
Ticket holders who receive a red notification will not be permitted entry and
will be advised to seek medical guidance, as well as information on how to
obtain a refund. Ticket holders who opt not to use the electronic version of
CLEAR will be directed to a kiosk outside of VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena to
complete a hard copy of the health questionnaire. To ensure an expedited entry
into the event, ticket holders are encouraged to download Health Pass in
advance and complete the questionnaire before arriving at the arena.
UFC® 261: USMAN vs. MASVIDAL 2 will be held
in accordance with all health and safety protocols of the City of Jacksonville.
UFC encourages fans to wear face masks at the event. Through a partnership with
O2 Industries, a leading manufacturer of reusable respirators, UFC will provide
face masks to all ticket holders upon entry.
More than 60 organizations across the country use Health Pass to
create safer environments, including teams across all major sports leagues, the
state of Hawaii, and many more. Health Pass builds upon
CLEAR’s history of creating frictionless experiences in sports, including
innovative pilots for touchless ticketing, biometric payments and age
validation.
How It Works: Using Health Pass
Download and Enroll at Home: Fans download the free CLEAR app directly
from CLEAR (or
from the App store for iOS devices or Google Play store for Android devices) and open
the Health Pass feature, select their event, and then verify
their identity by uploading an identifying document and snapping a quick
selfie.
● Confidential Health Questionnaire: Verified
ticket holders will then be presented with a brief series of health-related
questions designed to reveal if they may have recently been exposed to
COVID-19.
● Touchless Access: Depending on their
COVID-related health information, fans are issued a red or green notification
on their Health Pass app.
● Privacy First: With CLEAR, you are
always in control of your information. The venue only receives confirmation a
fan has satisfied the requirements for access with the equivalent of a red
light or green light signal — and never has access to an individual’s private
health details.
