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.”

Bet someone with a medical condition or religious background that prevents vaccination files a lawsuit at some point.

Definitely a Player for the left.
Oh my, that will certainly entice me to get an experimental injections. No way I could forgive myself for missing a concert with those bands!
And just like crack, your first hit is free, even though the peddlers (Fauci, the CDC, and numerous rich and powerful people and pharmaceutical companies) know it just may lead to your death.
Are the $1000 ticket buyers segregated to the front section or rear of the venue?
How many of the 450,000 who went to Woodstock 69 were vaxxed? How much did any of them pay?
“Until then private businesses can decide who they want on their property.”
not in Florida they can’t since the FLORIDA legislature passed a LAW prohibiting covid vaccination discrimination ...
“The price is $999.99. If you want a discount you can voluntarily show your proof of vaccination. “
that’s a DEMAND to show proof of vaccination to obtain a specific price for a service, and is NOT voluntary if you want to pay that price ... my guess is this ploy to circumvent the law won’t pass muster in the Florida courts, and i hope that asshole is bankrupted ...
Illegal discrimination, 4th Amendment and civil rights act.
3 Hos Going 2 Hell.
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?
Hmmm wonder what the capacity is at VFW Post 39 in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Only a dummy would pay to attend and the free market unfortunately allows that
