As soon as everyone can be vaccinated, it should be possible “to have a vaccination as a prerequisite for access to events”, said the chief executive of the ticket seller CTS Eventim, Klaus-Peter Schulenberg, of the “Wirtschaftswoche”. Schuleberg’s statement referred to a point in time “when there is enough vaccine and everyone can be vaccinated”. Then “private-sector organizers” should have the option of only admitting vaccinated people to an event. CTS Eventim has already created the technical requirements: “We have set up our systems in such a way that they can also read vaccination cards.”
Compulsory vaccination for concert-goers?
According to the government’s plans, all German citizens should have the opportunity to get vaccinated by the end of summer. In Schleswig-Holstein, CTS Eventim also organizes the allocation of vaccination appointments. There are talks with other federal states about a possible cooperation in the future when more vaccine is available, said Schulenberg. “The faster the population is vaccinated, the faster events can take place again.”

The organizer S-Promotion does not believe in the Eventim proposal. It is a “compulsory vaccination for concert-goers,” said the company. This is a violation of the ban on discrimination. “We distance ourselves very clearly from this absurd idea,” explained managing director Stefan Schornstein.
Private companies determine their business partners
Justice Minister Lambrecht told the newspapers of the editorial network Germany (Thursday editions) that private companies should decide for themselves who they want to do business with. “Lawyers speak here of the principle of private autonomy.”
Foreign Minister Heiko Maas had already opened a debate on freedoms for vaccinated people in mid-January. Maas recalled the operators of currently closed restaurants, cinemas, theaters and museums. “They have the right to reopen their businesses at some point if there is a possibility. And there is when more and more people are vaccinated. Because once there are only vaccinated people in the restaurant or cinema, they can no longer do so endanger each other, “said the Foreign Minister.
At that time he was rejected by Justice Minister Lambrecht. The Social Democrat said in an interview that it is forbidden to treat vaccinated people differently from non-vaccinated people.
