Friday I talked about how AEG Presents is requiring vax proof at the venues it owns, but just those venues and not everywhere.
Live Nation, another big name in concert and event promotions, took it a step further and announced yesterday that they will require vaccination proof everywhere. And not just people going to the events. All artists, crew members, and attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative covid test. This will be the policy for Live Nation everywhere beginning October 4th. As their CEO put it, “Vaccines are going to be your ticket back to shows.”
It’ll be interesting to see if the concert giant Ticketmaster follows suit. Live Nation is owned by Ticketmaster. Last year they said they were looking into doing something like this, but I can’t find any current info on their stance. There’s nothing on their website that even mentions covid. Their web of events is so large (major sports, comedy tours, and basically everything), I think it would be impossible for them to impose something like this across the board.
