Many states have announced vaccine lotteries - and companies like Krispy Kreme have offered incentives for vaccinations. Dating apps have also begun allowing users to share their vaccination status, all in the name of encouraging people to get the shot. After Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law forbidding the use of what some call “vaccine passports,” a Tampa Bay concert promoter decided to creatively motivate his community to get vaccinated by providing $18 discounted tickets in exchange for vaccinations, and charging $999.99 for those who have not gotten vaccinated.
Promoter Paul Williams came up with the idea as vaccination appointments became more accessible in Florida, he told ABC News. Williams wanted to plan a concert that could be enjoyed by all after the coronavirus pandemic shut down most outdoor concerts in the city over a year ago.
“I also wanted it to be a vaccine drive to get the fence-sitters off the fence,” Williams told the outlet after posting the vaccinated ticket prices on the event’s Facebook page. “I wanted to get the kids that want to go to shows to go out and get their shots.”
Concert goers can see the performance on June 26 at the VFW Post 39 in St. Petersburg, Florida. Three punk rock bands will perform, Teenage Bottlerocket, MakeWar, and Rutterkin.
This Twitter user approves. “Florida governor signed a bill banning vaccine verification,” the post reads. “So what did this concert promoter do? Differential pricing: $20 with vaccination certificate, $999.99 for unvaccinated attendees. Love this! #VaccinesSaveLives.”

I tap out. Done. My CDs better last forever.
Hope it’s a Super Failure
I believe the free market enterprise system will decide this pretty easy
i read that there’s a brand new state law in Florida that levies a $5,000.00 fine for each and every time a business demands someone provide proof of covid vaccination ... i wonder if this bozo knows that?
VFW 39? How big is it? The ones around here ain’t that big. Then again, looking at the “bands”, probably won’t be much of a turnout anyway.
Oh just damn! I have been wanting a chance to see Teenage Bottlerocket for so long. *yawn*
When did punk rockers become tools for the totalitarian industrial/state machine? I'm imagining a new Sid Vicious song "Obey the Rules!"
They would have to give me $1K to go see these idiots.
My transistor still gets an oldies station, so I’m good.
People I don’t trust wanting me to do things.
I’m reminded of Invasion of the Body Snatchers by all this “vaccine” BS. No freaking way, folks.
This still violates the Florida rule against vaccine passports.
People should be wary of things that require coercion to succeed.
“I believe the free market enterprise system will decide this pretty easy”
Agreed.
That, my friend, is what one would call a “pithy” statement.
DeSantis ought to have his attorney general sue that promoter.
That’s illegal.
How much do they charge you if you’re dead?
Is that Rutterkin?
The more the left vigorously pushes this shot, the less I trust it.
Well, it IS the only “worldwide pandemic” that’s had to advertise endlessly on television to convince people it exists.
