In an effort to increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate in Birmingham, AEG (American Entertainment Group) is announcing that they will provide a free ticket for An Evening of Love: 25th Anniversary Concert to anyone who receives a COVID-19 vaccination at the Legion Field site, while supplies last.

The Legion Field vaccine site will be open on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

Currently, Alabama's COVID-19 vaccination rate is around 34 percent.  Birmingham City Council President William Parker believes this vaccine incentive can help Birmingham improve its numbers and save lives.

"As our City opens up, we want to make sure we do our part in encouraging residents to get vaccinated as quickly as possible," said Dee Tarver with American Entertainment Group.
