♥♥♥ Show Me Your Test Results ♥♥♥

I think it's safe to say if this is put into practice my concert days are over. Unless it's Miley of course.

The coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating effect on the entertainment industry. Now, one company has the framework in place to allow spectators to attend concerts and sporting events safely.

"2020 has been a devastating year for the music industry," Dave Brooks, senior director of Touring and Live Music for Billboard, said. "Venues can't open, shows can't happen, bands can't go on tour."

However, Brooks said there may be some hope. That's because Ticketmaster and Billboard announced a plan that could allow for a safe return to these venues.

"Most concert professionals feel like they really can't have a return to live music until there's some type of inoculation or at least control over the virus," Brooks said.

The idea allows fans to prove they're COVID-free before entering a venue. After purchasing a ticket, they simply use the Ticketmaster app to show the results of a recent coronavirus test or prove they received the vaccine, once it's available.

"If you need to prove that you're COVID-free, these companies will basically be your digital ID card to do that," Brooks said.

Really bummed too; so many good shows I wanted to see last year. Now they're hanging in limbo.

If I develop natural immunity (by catching and then recovering from the virus) I'm just as safe as someone who took a vaccine if not more so - are these assholes still gonna make me take a vaccine? And what happens after the vaccine wears off? Do I still get a green light to attend concerts?

Nope.... I'll sell the tix I have for Jimmy Buffet and The Impractical Jokers before I share any medical information with these assholes. At work all I have to do is show I'm symptom free and it's good enough for a state institution. I've already paid for my tickets and I'm not playing this "move the goal posts" bullshit with ticket bastard or anyone else.
