Same have 2 3Arena shows in March/April which will be either postponed or cancelled

The Who- 5th March 21 (rescheduled from 18th March 2020)
Genesis- 15th April 21 (rescheduled from 16th November 2020)

Onto the summer yet again looking like we will see cancellations/postponements

My 2 shows are for MCR in KH and Hella Mega tour in the RDS

Only have Elton John for the end of this year and I'm praying ill be there for that. He's due to a start touring in September and hopefully the world will be in a better position by then and also that UK visa issue will be sorted successfully by then

Think that could be it for big gigs and festivals this summer unfortunately. Writing was on the wall alright.

If everyone tested negative 48 hours before and wore masks in an outdoor gig, would that not allow gigs to go ahead? Is it just an insurance thing?

The enormous issue is how verification of tests would work because unless there is an absolutely foolproof system in place where they can be verified and verified to that attendee, the entire venue could be exposed and a massive outbreak occur if its either not policed or not secured.

Then there is the related issue of being refused access because you don't have verification of a test - will terms and conditions adequately cover this. And if a gig is cancelled at last minute notice due to a failed or unverified test for the act, it would cost a fortune where the alternative is just to postpone the gig til it will categorically go ahead

Additionally, wearing masks is impossible to police and people will take them off to eat/drink at the very least.

Gigs just wont happen until everyone is vaccinated unless they are sit down gigs with small, easy to police, attendance numbers.

I think the big hurdle would be whether thousands of people could meet and then even if they could social distrancing would exist so not sure how it would work for large outdoor gigs. For tests maybe it would be part of gigs returning but guess someone could pick it up after the test or get a false not detected result. Then whether bands can come over from abroad if they have to quarantine for 5 days and then get a test etc.

You could not put on an outdoor gig in ireland (or anywhere) and make money without a bar, so that's a no go unfortunately.

Remember they had full capacity shows in the 3Arena a little under a week til lockdown 1 last March

Did any covid cases come from that?

I don't think the tracing would be that resourced to know definitively either way and probably relatively small number of cases at the start before it got widespread.

Anyone?

If the date of an event is changed you are entitled to a refund.
You will have to contact Ticketmaster or whoever the seller is to process the refund.

If you see better tickets on Ticketmaster you can have them upgraded under the fan guarantee
https://help.ticketmaster.ie/hc/en-ie/articles/360019928573-Fan-Guarantee

We can only offer exchanges for tickets in the same price bracket or higher, subject to a €6 admin fee per booking. Please be aware that if an event does sell out, an exchange won't be available.

What's the story with rescheduled events. Is it still possible to get a refund?

Alternatively better tickets for the gig have opened up due to presumable people cancelling tickets. Is it possible to get tickets transferred to a different seat of the same price?

Cheers

Based on their before Christmas ignoring of NPHET advice, I wouldn't trust anything that comes from Government regarding vaccine timetables.

They haven't a notion between them.

So at no point this year will someone perform live music in front of a crowd? That's just wrong, considering it happened last year......

If you're pro government and anti NPHET, then our esteemed government have said all vaccinations will be done by August, how will there be no gigs this year?

Are the words "I think it extremely unlikely" not clear enough for you?

Perhaps I should have added in the caveat "in front of anything other than a socially distanced audience".

Given that you yourself meekly accept the government's (imho) overly optimistic vaccines forecast, dismissing me as pro-government and NYPHET on the basis of one post is a bit rich.

Given that half the people who show up do so with no more than a Wendy House for a tent, flip-flops and a penny’s rainjacket I think it’s safe to say hundreds would die!!!!

Tens of thousands of the people who are currently obeying the restrictions will be jobless and homeless and living in tents by the time they are lifted so this will actually happen.

Certainly optimistic re September. Leo on the news this morning said they hope to vaccinate with a first dose by then too.

Could EP go off in October or is that crazy?

EP in October would be a quagmire

15 months and mid-2022 is probably the most realistic piece of rescheduling in this entire thread
