If it happens, people will find a way to make it work. We're Americans, not snowflakes like the MAGA lot.

I’m hoping that it will never happen and the way to ensure that is for people to strongly object to such a thing even if it doesn’t impact them personally. I hope people will stand up for what is right.

Got news for you. Big tech and big government have been running this country for years. That's not a new thing. Corporations tell governments how to vote and what laws to pass.

Where I'm at they do. It's about 95% Ticketmaster. It has been well known as a monopoly for a long time.

Ticketmaster typically only manages big venues and national tours. All the local venues, local concerts (bars, clubs, schools, state art centers, etc. are rarely handled by ticketmaster... and there's many more of those than there are the national tours.

Oh and also? You need to provide us access to your MEDICAL information.

Do you not understand what loss of freedom looks like?

You could be 100% on board with testing and vaccines and UNDERSTAND that this?

Is a horrifying precedent to set. Do you see that? No? LOOK AGAIN.

Papers, please.
Ticketmaster, a private business, is considering requiring independent Lab proof as a condition of ticket purchase. This proof is not the same as one’s entire medical records.

If Ticketmaster proceeds, you are free to comply or not use the service.

They're a corrupt monopoly that makes way more money as a middleman than they ever deserve. I try to use them as little as possible. I've never liked them going back years.

Looks like this is becoming more real especially with this example.
And you can bet, when that happens,there will be plenty of people saying, "its their business, they can do what they want"!!


These same people probably would have defended 'black water fountains, black seating in restaurants, etc' before civil rights...hey, its their business, they can require anything they like!
