Interesting article in the Telegraph today

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/04/29/socialdistancing-not-needed-big-events-boris-johnson-told/

Social distancing for large events can be scrapped from June 21, Boris Johnson will be told next week after initial results from a pilot scheme found no spike in Covid cases among attendees.

An interim report into the reopening trials will advise the Prime Minister that crowds can return safely and without distancing provided that measures such as staggering entries and good ventilation are in place.

The science board on the Events Research Programme, being run by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, has found that many of the protective measures put in place in the trial events appear to be working.

It is understood that, while data is still coming in and more events are to take place in the coming weeks, there has been no alarming spike in virus cases among participants.

A heavy emphasis has been put on testing, and for each trial participants must take both a PCR and lateral flow test before and after the event.

The report is understood to make it clear that testing would be likely to be a key part of reopening large events. How that would be done is still being worked out.

Suppose it's promising but that testing thing could have teething problems

JustAThought · 29-04-2021 11:50pm

I don’t see too many big experienced artists signing up in the near future to be exposed to the covid of a % of 80,000 fans. And the insurance bill/claims/staff H&S claims.

What pisses me off is that despite having my phone, email, banking & visa details NONE of the vendors I’ve spent quite big money on tickets with, have bothered to send me a single email about any of them. I’m expected to trawl through sites or deal with ambiguous speculation from agents and non specific vague recordings from premium cost 1890 numbers. Boils my piss really - just not good enough from a small cohort controlling an entire industry. Its been a year now - man up to your responsibilities and stop making me chase my money and running me from billy to jack via remote recordings and non human interactions that leave me dangling.

Should be a simple no test result, no entry policy. Especially if its a small trial event.

Still nothing on Forbidden Fruit. Half wondering are they trying to postpone to later in the year?

Might have already been asked but concer from last year and pushed out to this year, ticket master contacted today to say concert will be moved to next year instead but have a wedding same weekend. Does anyone know if there is some way out of these tickets to get a refund or is it a lost cause?

Interesting few words from MM from an article tonight. https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/othersport/arid-40281479.html

'Meanwhile, Mr Martin also said that he hopes to see supporters back in stadiums this summer - but says public health officials are "not enthusiastic” about antigen tests.

With under-age players returning to training last week, Mr Martin said there was a worry about people's mental health as non-elite adults prepare to return to playing fields.

While Leinster Rugby had an offer to host a trial match with supporters was turned down the Taoiseach said there are plans being developed to get people back into stands.

Minister Jack Chambers is working with public health officials on “extensive protocols” to get people back attending games.

“We will be trialing some events, you’re probably looking at July,” Mr Martin said.

Mr Martin added that while adult games at non-elite level are set to resume next month, there are no immediate plans for indoor sports like basketball to resume.

“The summer is going to be outdoors,” he confirmed'

Oh I dont think it could go ahead later in the year. Just wondering could that potentially be the reason for organisers not cancelling it over 4 weeks out. Will probably be cancelled over next few weeks though.

Suppose it's something at least

Knowing our luck there will end up being cases from these events. Anyway staying positive and it would be a massive lift if these are successful in regards coming to the end of the year

That'd still be 1500 to 2000 at some GAA grounds, maybe a couple hundred at LOI, but it's a start.

Different to other festival rescheduling/postponements, as Longi, has been effectively cancelled for 2021, rather than a rescheduling or postponed to 2022. So everyone who bought online gets automatic refunds, no tickets for 2021 can be carried over to 2022.

mondeoman72 · 10-05-2021 12:48pm

Longitude gone.
Automatic refunds being issued.

Paid out 968 euro for 4 tickets for Longitude. Will get that back now. Add that to the cashback I got from Ulster Bank Ufirst account, I should be up about 250 euro.

It might be that, this relates to tickets bought for a 2020 festival, but now won’t be happening until 2022, and was already postponed once before.

Different to other gigs that can be moved maybe 6 months out, this one can only be moved out 1 year, and its the second time it would have happened, so it would be considered unreasonable to postpone again, if they had done that, it would be a 2.5 year time line, between ticket purchased and actual event taking place.

It was cancelled in 2020 and refunded also.

I am happy it is cancelled and not rescheduled. Most attendees at Longitude are 16/17 year old kids.

Could be. Just hadn't heard of too many other yearly summer festivals doing it but could be a demographic thing alright!

Its more a licensing thing. which is why nearly all events last year simply postponed til this summer their schedule and did again this summer.
nothing to do with demographics attending

Yep most do so was wondering why Longitude didn't. Was wondering was it younger age profile so more likely to miss payment more.

Interesting quote from this

'According to the Irish Sun, Electric Picnic organisers are preparing for the possibility that the music festival might be allowed to go ahead if only Irish acts are involved.

The publication cited a source as saying that Festival Republic has been told to prepare for Electric Picnic to get the green light, although international acts would not be permitted due to current restrictions on touring'

If that's true a lot of Irish gigs by international artists set for September/possibly October may be postponed/cancelled

At the end of the day all these articles are pure guesswork
