Florida Concert Venue Charging $1000 Per Ticket If You Aren't Vaccinated
If you are vaccinated, tickets at one Florida venue are $18, but if you are not, they are $1,000
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 events Facebook page. I wanted to get the kids that want to go to shows to go out and get their shots.
