A Florida concert promoter is getting creative with new ways to encourage his community to get vaccinated. At an upcoming punk-rock concert, he’ll be charging $18 for tickets to people who are vaccinated and $1,000 to those who are not.
Paul Williams of Leadfoot Promotions came up with the idea while brainstorming how to book the concert in a quick and efficient way, according to local station WFTS. With vaccines becoming widely available for people in the state and new CDC guidelines allowing the return of live events, Williams thought that offering a discounted ticket to vaccinated concertgoers was the first step to doing the show safely and creating an incentive for more folks to go out and get vaccinated, he told WFTS.
“We’re just trying to do a show safely. And they should go out and get vaccinated to protect themselves and their families and their community,” Williams told WFTS.
And so it begins…
I hope nobody buys a ticket to his stupid concert! In my America, I have freedom of choice whether to get a shot or not, whether to go to a concert or not.
Discount available with “Female” companions in Atlantic City if “Vaccinated” also offered.
