Sadly I believe that there are people just as you describe. Always worried about someone else’s business instead of minding their own.
My feelings match yours. If you don’t want to go out and live life until you die then stay home and quit infringing on others rights to live as they please. Quote:

After about 7 pm the gate people at the squares will let people in without passes if the quota of people allowed hasn’t been reached. (They scan the bar codes of the passes as people enter, so they know how many, and which, passes are being used).
Also, an easy way to get passes is at tickets.thevillages.com. The tickets will be emailed to you, so you can just print them at home.

Abuse of the system is fueled by free tickets. If a stipend fee of something like $2.00 were charged people would likely not purchase them for an event that they didn't plan to attend. If the pool of stipend money was then raffled off as gift certificates to the merchants who pay for entertainment (less a small administrative fee) the abuse just might stop and the merchants would get traffic that the entertainment was designed to bring.

This whole ticket thing has to go. Take the power away from these types. People without tickets are sitting right outside the "ticket area" anyway. Just a pain in the butt for no real reason.

The tickets are a joke

Getting into squares for music
After 6pm, you get in without a ticket. Just go.

No show points
Perhaps the Villages should implement a “No Show” point system similar to Golf.

Squares will probably be closed again soon.

However, I follow the number of new cases in the Villages every day. Up until recently, new cases were very few a day. After full opening, including the square at a controlled amount, cases have climbed steadily. Used to be less than 5 a day. Today was 14 new cases and I expect that will start rising exponentially if something isn't done. I don't have a clue about whether someone is destroying tickets but I also saw pictures of people in the squares, none wearing masks. This will, if not already, become a hot spot for spreading the virus. Even if I stay home, wear a mask and do my best to avoid getting the virus, this will increase the chance of getting it when I have to get groceries, other necessities like going to the doctor, dentist or whatever. Just saying if someone doesn't want to go to the squares, don't go is not a smart answer. It will increase the chance of getting it for everyone. Our chances of death are much higher than most and, even if surviving it, long term kidney and lung problems may result in an earlier death. New cases per day are climbing and more group gatherings are going to add to that fact. |

How about instead of requiring passes, the staff just counts the number of people that enter the square and stop allowing people in when they hit the number allowed. They could also count the number that leave. When leaving they could ask if their coming back and give them a re-entry pass. That way people could leave to go to the restroom. If a person leaves permanently, they could allow another person in. I read on this site that people without passes were allowed in later in the evening after many people left.

You can get your free passes at the box offices at each square or you can get them online at Villages Entertainment. You should get them in advance because they restrict how many they give out. Also they are letting people in with out passes after 6:00PM. How many they will let in then depends on the count of people already inside. They have set a maximum .

No matter my politics, I stand with Science. This little ******* is killing people and I want to continue to live in my lovely home with my treasured husband and daughter and paint my pictures and cut back my roses and swim in my pool and enjoy all the great things on Acorn T.V. My cats want me to live to. I am pretty sure about the cats. Well then again who knows what they are thinking....got a pretty nasty look from Mikey when he found his Tuna bowl empty...

I would think those that get tickets and go are making a statement as well as those who get tickets and don't go. With 20+ new cases in Sumter yesterday it seems maybe
the ones that don't go are smarter. ! Drove by the LSL last evening and most were not wearing mask's and are possible future candidates for the statistic's page in the Media? We go by a very simple rule. Is what you are about to do worth risking your life or prolonged impacts of the virus? Note: There were also 5 who passed away from the virus yesterday! |
