While Live Nation is leaving the extent of COVID-19 related safety protocols up to artists, AEG has drawn a line in the sand: no vaccination no entry.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have come to the conclusion that, as a market leader, it was up to us to take a real stand on vaccination status,\u201d said COO of AEG and chairman-CEO of AEG Presents Jay Marciano, in a statement. \u201cJust a few weeks ago, we were optimistic about where our business, and country, were heading. The Delta variant, combined with vaccine hesitancy, is pushing us in the wrong direction again. We realize that some people might look at this as a dramatic step, but it\u2019s the right one. We also are aware that there might be some initial pushback, but I\u2019m confident and hopeful that, at the end of the day, we will be on the right side of history and doing what\u2019s best for artists, fans, and live event workers.\u201d<\/p>\n AEG\u2019s vaccine policy will go into effect starting Oct. 1. Until then, showing proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test within 72 hours will be enough for entry.<\/p>\n Marciano closed his statement by stating, \u201cI think everyone can agree that we don\u2019t want concerts to go away again, and this is the best way to keep that from happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
