Ticketmaster to require negative COVID-19 test or vaccination to attend concerts

Wallet? Check. Water? Check. COVID-19 test?

The pre-concert checklist for music fans is about to get more complicated, as Ticketmaster is planning to check the coronavirus vaccination status of concert-goers prior to shows once a treatment is approved, Billboard reported Wednesday.

The ticketing giant plans to have customers use their cellphones to verify their inoculation or whether they’ve tested negative for the virus within a 24- to 72-hour window, according to the exclusive report.

The plan, which is still being ironed out, will utilize three separate components, including the California-based company’s digital ticketing app, third-party health information firms like CLEAR Health Pass and testing/vaccination distributors like Labcorp or CVS Minute Clinic.

Ticketmaster will reportedly not store or access medical records under the plan. If approved, fans would need to verify that they’ve either already been vaccinated or have tested negative as recently as 24 hours prior to the show.

Concert-goers would then instruct a lab to send over test results to companies like CLEAR Health Pass or IBM’s Digital Health Pass, which would verify the fan’s status to Ticketmaster. Anyone who tests positive or doesn’t get screened won’t be granted access to the event venue, Billboard reported.

They’re trying to kill off their own business.

Nobody I need to see that badly. The past 8 months has proven that.

Which Ct threshold is Ticketmaster going to use?

Note to Ticketmaster: You are so screwed.

another “purpose” of the covid hysteria will be to use it for political purposes—fake positives etc...to keep deplorables out of work, flying, travelling, social functions etc....

it will be manipulated as a political tool should Biden get elected. I guarantee it

Ticketmaster wouldn’t need to worry about this if Congress protected biz with WuFlu liability protection.

Let me rephrase that.
They are making a list and checking it twice?
My, how they love lists.

A clear violation of Federal Law...

Yes, I know it’s voluntary to attend and they are a private business.....

Stepping out a little but it would not be different if they refused you for age, ethnicity, gender, etc....

Oh, I know! We could all have a chip installed by the government! Or maybe some type of mark?

I see an amazing new business opportunity here—fake Covid or vaccine documentation.

If they can’t figure out fraudulent ballots, there is no way they will figure out fake coronavirus documentations.

If cheating is the law of the land, it is your patriotic duty to cheat!
