Don’t think this will be the case. People were buying ATP tickets til the end.

Right, but there wasn’t the looming threat of an annual contagious virus knocking around (unless you count Barry Hogan).

Obviously too late now, but if you paid by credit card you’ll be able to claim it back. And since the ATP days I’ve strongly recommended people do it with all tickets

Nah, debit card for me

I wouldn’t worry. I’m sure that the worst case scenario, unless they go under, is tickets for next year

Yeah it’s not the worst thing in the world if that were to happen. It’s highly likely I’d get tickets for 2021 even if this year’s did go ahead as planned.

Seems I was chatting rubbish earlier when I said refunds weren’t available. Sad to see it postponed but I’m sure California in October is still lovely. Hopefully their line up doesn’t get affected too much because there’s some decent acts this year.

Festival down under due to begin the weekend after Primavera has pulled the plug… check mate?

I don’t think it’s really comparable, it’s a series of one band per night shows in an inaccessible part of the world and they hadn’t really started selling tickets.

Ah yeah I do agree… was actually going to edit my comment after reading it was more of a ticket sales issue.

It’s still a very ominous sign though :grimacing:

I read that cases here will peak in the next two weeks. That was the headline and I refuse to seek any more information than that. I will furthermore assume that after this peak there will be a precipitous, almost millennium bug-esque climb down in both danger and media coverage.

Cannes might be a good comparable to watch, given timing. About a week before Primavera. Much smaller so if they pull it will be ominous. Cannes-celled?

Should we have a separate thread of festival cancellations?

Cannes has a whole extra dimension of boujee-ass international elite who just ain’t gonna want to leave their bubble.
