Ability to attend games in-person next season

[The Lens]

So we now need a booster after 8 months (maybe every 8 months??) and the Pfizer CEO said it's likely there will be Covid strains that are vaccine resistant. Will we need to show proof of vaccination in all scenarios? At what point does it get ridiculous to show 3,4, or 5+ vaccines cards to get into a game or restaurant?

lol, nearly every place that requires them says simply showing a photo of it on your phone is enough.  How is this a burden?

Yep. No more of a burden than showing a ticket on a phone or reaching into a wallet for a credit card.

IDK, have you seen some of the sweater vests try to pull up their digital ticket? You'd think they were trying to rotate a PDF the way they struggle.

Paper tickets were good enough in 1977

That truly made me LOL.

If you had a vax card you'd probably know that there are more open slots for future vaccines on it.

But you've given the game away.

Appreciate the mature response. 👍

When we've eliminated death.

That will never happen unfortunately.

Not everyone can afford a smart phone (some can afford but don't want). The burden is on the person checking the card. When we get to a point where we're on our 5th or 6th vaccine/booster how long will it take that person to check off that each one is listed (esp when trying to get 18k, or 80k for football, through the gates).

Paper tickets also enable 3D holograms.

There are 4 spots, in about 6-12 months we could likely need more than those 4 spots.

Considering the useless cards I have in my Costanza wallet. I'm not worried about changing out a card each year to show I'm up to date on my Covid vaccine.

[Hards Alumni]

Cool.  And if we're still doing this all in a year and a half hopefully we've come up with something better, or you know... just show your most recent vax card.  Why would a year and a half back be relevant information?

I can't believe this is near the top of your worry list.

98% of attendees at Packers preseason games this year used digital tickets (up from 67% in 2019).  If residents of Green Bay can adapt, I think we all can.

This may just be the effect of Covid eliminating the old people.

In fairness...your post suggested we not check for vaccines because people would have multiple cards to show...so you didn't really deserve a mature response?

[The Lens]

Yeah, when you break with the top infectious disease doctors in the world because of your own perverted sense of liberty, you're gonna lose a lot of social graces.

Prices on the secondary market for concerts across the country have cratered when mask/vaccine mandates have been implemented.

If MU has them, I would think you could get some great deals on good seats for the better games and tickets will almost be given away for the dud opponents.

Would Marquette have much say in this? Or would it be Bucks?

Not sure, but while Summerfest is requiring proof of vaccination this weekend, there was no such requirement for Mexican Fiesta last weekend. So venues can have varying standards.

Best that can be done.  Reduces risk but does not eliminate as breakthrough cases occur.   These are tough times.  Please dear God get us back to some kind of normal.

I heard the Summerfest check wasn't very thorough. It sounds more like a deterrent for people showing up than actually turning people away.
