Most concerts, 'sporting' events and other entertainment are something people think they need, or might like to have, but most can live without.
Elective entertainment. Take it or leave it.
Far as I'm concerned, and this is only my opinion, the music industry has been destroyed.
There is much Satanic garbage out there, but not much music.
Has anyone turned on a 'top 40 pop or rock station' lately?
How about a 'country music' station?
Can anyone tell me what the hell that noise is coming out of the speaker?
It ain't country and it ain't rock and it ain't music.
The old acts are all dying off, and they are being replaced with garbage.
So who needs Ticketmaster?
Music concerts are crap, and pro sports have always been a huge waste of time, even before they 'went woke' with all the BLM garbage.
Big crowds and stadiums are great places to stay away from, because the CIA, FBI and/or another deep state affiliated network of morons might just kill you during one of their false flag, multiple shooter, staged operations, to fulfill the latest anti-2nd amendment political agenda for that day.
For all the 'pro sports' fans and concert goers out there who live for 'the game', or worship celeb-tards of entertainment, why don't you get a life, do something productive, and make yourself useful to society.
Take all that time, money, and energy you spend on entertaining yourself to death, and create something original that actually benefits society.
Or, you could really go out on a limb and have an original thought of your own.
That is my two cents.
You are entitled to your own opinion.

: Monday's news that pharmaceutical company Pfizer's early
: results on a new COVID-19 vaccine showed a 90% efficacy
: rate on an initial clinical trial have given concert
: professionals hope that the business can start mounting a
: return in 2021. As part of that preparation, Ticketmaster
: has been working on a framework for post-pandemic fan
: safety that uses smart phones to verify fans' vaccination
: status or whether they've tested negative for the
: coronavirus within a 24 to 72 hour window.
: Many details of the plan, which is still in development phase,
: will rely on three separate components -- the Ticketmaster
: digital ticket app, third party health information
: companies like CLEAR Health Pass or IBM's Digital Health
: Pass and testing and vaccine distribution providers like
: Labcorp and the CVS Minute Clinic.
: Here's how it would work, if approved: After purchasing a
: ticket for a concert, fans would need to verify that they
: have already been vaccinated (which would provide
: approximately one year of COVID-19 protection) or test
: negative for coronavirus approximately 24 to 72 hours prior
: to the concert. The length of coverage a test would provide
: would be governed by regional health authorities -- if
: attendees of a Friday night concert had to be tested 48
: hours in advance, most could start the testing process the
: day before the event. If it was a 24-hour window, most
: people would likely be tested the same day of the event at
: a lab or a health clinic.
: Once the test was complete, the fan would instruct the lab to
: deliver the results to their health pass company, like
: CLEAR or IBM. If the tests were negative, or the fan was
: vaccinated, the health pass company would verify the
: attendee's COVID-19 status to Ticketmaster, which would
: then issue the fan the credentials needed to access the
: event. If a fan tested positive or didn't take a test to
: verify their status, they would not be granted access to
: the event. There are still many details to work out, but
: the goal of the program is for fans to take care of
: vaccines and testing prior to the concert and not show up
: hoping to be tested onsite.
: To date, the Food and Drug Administration has not approved any
: third-party companies to provide the complex technology
: needed to deliver real-time vaccination results, but
: Ticketmaster president Mark Yovich expects the demand for
: digital screening services -- which will be needed for
: airline travel, employment verification and theme park
: entry -- will attract a new wave of investors and
: entrepreneurs to fuel the growth of a new COVID-19
: technology sector.
: "We’re already seeing many third-party health care
: providers prepare to handle the vetting -- whether that is
: getting a vaccine, taking a test, or other methods of
: review and approval - which could then be linked via a
: digital ticket so everyone entering the event is
: verified," Yovich tells Billboard.
: "Ticketmaster’s goal is to provide enough flexibility
: and options that venues and fans have multiple paths to
: return to events, and is working to create integrations to
: our API and leading digital ticketing technology as we will
: look to tap into the top solutions based on what’s
: green-lit by officials and desired by clients."
: For Ticketmaster, two new technologies at the companies will
: help its clients scale the program. The first is digital
: ticketing that's linked to a fan’s identity, eliminates
: paper tickets and can be restricted from being transferred
: or resold. Ticketmaster also plans to deploy its new
: SmartEvent system, which helps event organizers and fans
: manage social distancing, delayed entry and provide
: possible opportunities for contact tracing. Many of the
: safety parameters will be set by regional health officials
: and event organizers. Event organizers also have the
: ability to set their own prevention protocols, like
: sanitation, mask compliance and social distancing.
