How stupid is this? Let us count the ways. On second thought, why bother? Let’s just note that this isn’t just a rock concert, but a punk rock concert. So what would John Lydon have to say about it? (He was Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols, and now an acid critic of what’s going on.)   MCM

‘No-vax tax’ increases concert ticket prices fifty-fold for unvaccinated

Promoter says he’s trying to keep people safe https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local-news/i-team-investigates/no-vax-tax-increases-concert-ticket-prices-fifty-fold-for-unvaccinated

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — With new CDC guidelines, concerts are starting to come back to Florida, but for at least one show, the ABC Action News I-Team has learned your COVID-19 vaccination status will determine how much you pay to attend.

“These are all my tickets from over the years,” said Brittney Wigen, showing framed displays containing hundreds of ticket stubs.

Wigen has been a fan of punk rock and has attended shows regularly since she was a teenager. The COVID-19 pandemic put all concerts on hold, but Wigen recently saw an announcement for a show to be held at St. Petersburg VFW Post #39 next month headlined by Teenage Bottlerocket and featuring the bands Make War and Rutterkin.

“I saw the announcement for the concert. And then you go to purchase the tickets, it says that you have to show proof of vaccination, which I do not have,” Wigen said.

Discount tickets $18, full price tickets $999.99

Tickets costs $18 in advance, or $20 at the door if you have a vaccination certificate, but the price increased by 50 fold if you don’t.

“If I wanted to go to the concert without a vaccination, I would have to pay $999.99,” Wigen said.
