Ticketmaster to Reportedly Require Negative COVID-19 Tests or Vaccinations for Concerts.
According to 'Billboard,' which reported
the plan on Wednesday.
Ticketmaster will have customers use their
phones to verify whether they've received a
COVID-19 vaccine or have tested negative for the virus.
Fans will need to prove that they've tested negative
as recently as 24 hours before the show.
Concertgoers who test positive or refuse to be screened won't be allowed into the venue.
The ticketing giant's app, combined with third-party health information firms and testing/vaccination distributors will work together to develop the process.
We’re already seeing many third-party health care providers prepare to handle the vetting — , Ticketmaster president Mark Yovich, to 'Billboard'.
— 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, Ticketmaster president Mark Yovich, to 'Billboard'
