However, certain activities have been canceled this year taking into consideration the health concerns of everyone. All the contestants will be self-quarantining at the mansion until they get tested. There will be no selfies or interactions with the audience as well.

The number of tickets has also been limited to only 25% of the venue's 2,000-person capacity. The platinum package of the tickets are priced at $1,875. The stage setting of the show has also been reconfigured to make it safer for everyone. The close-to-the-stage area of Soundstage will be transformed into a ‘table seating’ arena. Tickets for the live viewing party of the pageant show are available at $75, which can be viewed from the adjacent Graceland Exhibition Center where the show will be exhibited on Giant screens.

Paula M Shugart in an official statement shared, “The Miss Universe Organization and the team at Graceland have created an innovative event that prioritizes the health and safety of the contestants, audience, and crew who will join us in Graceland,” adding, “We look forward to crowning a new Miss USA and Miss Teen USA in the historic city of Memphis. While this year’s competitions will look a little different as we adhere to crucial safety guidelines, we are excited to bring the thrill and excitement of the iconic Miss USA and Miss Teen USA competitions to homes across America.”
