No Hugs ...

O2 venues have been requiring proof of vaccine on the nhs app (or proof of negative lft) since October way before it became mandatory under the “plan B” restrictions Most venues/theatres etc also have been doing this.
The fact the government has said it’s no longer mandatory doesn’t mean the venues as private companies won’t carry on if they feel the need.

Yep - they have their own "duty of care" for their employees

For gigs and tours are they issuing new tickets or take your 2019 ones?

They are accepting the 2019 tickets at Brixton. I contacted them to confirm which of the 2 nights my 2019 tickets were valid for! They responded very quickly!

Anyone know if a print out is accepted as proof of vaccination?
Rather not have the app.

Yes, you can download it as a PDF which contains a QR Code. I don't have a phone modern enough for the app, and I used this method to get into a show at the NEC in November, and will be using it for the gigs if they are still required by then. I'll probably print one out anyway, just in case.

You need an NHS login, but follow the thing through here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavir ... ovid-pass/

I think it's valid for 72 hours, so be careful about when you generate it because once you generate one, you can't generate another new one until the first has expired. Or something like that.

Official site just posted the guidance. Looks like passes required to enter every venue

Unfortunately at least the Academy venues haven’t updated the guidance since December - at least those are the versions the links from the official site take you to. So they still talk about plan B being in force which of course it won’t be from Monday. Not very helpful really until they update them.
That said - I’m sure all the venues will ask for proof of vaccine etc as they were before it was made compulsory. I’ve had to show a pass to get in places many times no hassle at all.

Thursday, isn't it? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60047438

I will check entry requirements again after then, to see if the venues have updated, though that BBC article (or maybe a different one I found while searching for it) did suggest that venues can continue to use the Covid passport scheme if they want to.

Do you want to sing with the Fookin Stranglers? Well no Fookin hugs, you soft southern shandy drinking wankers. Lt Kudu.

If people just wear crash helmets that may suffice. Lt Kudu.

Would be an improvement on all the bald heeds
