No excuses, if we want positivity then:

If the vast majority of the country get it and that brings immunity with it, the youth of the country that contract it will have a positive future in regards to this current Corona virus 👍🏻

Just stop with twattish comments, I enjoy this forum and use it as a break from everyday life as I'm sure many others do, let's keep it enjoyable for fucks sake.

Then don’t enter a thread that’s talking about the possible cancellation of the festival due to a global pandemic  🤷🏼‍♂️

No, they’d be in exactly the same position. 

Down the cost of a tent. 

But they’d have used the tent and got what they to have believed their money’s worth out of it.

And? If they were going to donate the stuff then they’d worse off either way. That’s how charity works.

In effect you’re expecting the festival to come and say “we’re going to deny hundreds of thousands of people the opportunity to buy tickets because a few folk may have already bought a tent”.

Not if they’ve been able to use what they have paid money for.

No, I’m expecting the festival to come and say “we’re giving people the option to roll their tickets over to next years festival because that’s the fairest thing to do.”

By the sounds of it, festivals are beginning to inform people of their Covid-19 plans, can’t see it being long until Glastonbury make an announcement. Can’t just leave people in limbo not knowing what’s gonna happen.

Then they can still donate the tents can’t they?

But they’re still financially worse off

Ok, hypothetical scenario and I’m just spitballing so don’t shoot too hard...

Tickets carry over to 2021. However the festival blocks all registrations with 21 tickets entering the first sale for 2022 (they can enter the resale). Obviously it would need to be carefully managed to prevent everyone from creating additional registrations - my proposal would be not to tell people this is happening until after registration has closed. The odd few duplicates would slip through but it would give those who are currently ticketless a much better chance for 22.

When written out like that it’s probably just easier to have a fresh bunfight every October.

Sounds fair 👌🏻

If people have purchased tents solely with the intent of using them for this festival then fuck them. They’re part of a different problem altogether.

What if their plan is to donate them to a homeless charity once they’ve been to the festival?

Who is financially worse off exactly?

In this instance people will be financially worse off that have bought tents and equipment solely for this festival who then miss out on tickets for next year because they’re not given the chance to roll their tickets over. In everyday life, that’s a conversation for another thread.

Haven’t been keeping with this thread much, but in the other coronavirus thread everyone seems certain that a postponement is off the cards completely?

What is the thinking behind that, given that many festivals who have made statements so far have discussed rearranging for later in the year?

There’s too much to organise I think, I suppose though each stage has it own organisers so they could all just re-organise their own stages 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ensuring everyone has an equal chance of going is the opposite of what Tories do.

Leaving people financially worse off is exactly what Tories do.

[Opinions on what will happen if Glastonbury 50 gets cancelled]

Allowing the people who have secured tickets for this year tickets for next year is surely the reasonable thing to do. People have already spent money on this years festival in regards to tents, equipment, things that can’t be refunded now and you’re not gonna give those people the option for a ticket for next year with the possibility that they won’t get a ticket if all tickets are just thrown back in the pot and they start again, can’t see that happening, it’s a proper Tory thing to do that.

Wow. I get this thread is a pretty morbid at the moment, but that's a bit of a sober assumption considering it's the neighbour over the street recording and posting on social media, not the DJ himself. I've also seen a few similar videos of neighbours singing together in the streets... I get what's going on at mo is highly unprecidented, however I personally dont see the harm in trying to raise communal spirits in these dark times.

Anyhow, I'm off to hang out in some other threads for a while.

 

You’re not telling me he doesn’t know exactly what he’s doing? What he’s doing isn’t trying to uplift people, it’s knowing that he’ll be filmed and out all over social media.

Yes possibly, although if they have just lost a loved one it will likely have been from something other than coronavirus. There is about a 0.02% chance one of the their loved ones has died from it though, so you might be right.

 

But there’s a possibility, it’s not a time to try and get your face (or tunes)  on Twitter.

Just to lighten the mood a little (if possible) check this hero in Italy out:

 

 

There’s possibly people living around there who have just lost a loved one and they probably don’t want to be listening to that, highly selfish just to get a bit of Twitter fame. 

[Will Coronavirus lead to the cancellation of Glastonbury?]

Obviously knows it’s going ahead 

[Will Coronavirus lead to the cancellation of Glastonbury?]

No one knows what’s going to happen, obviously it could very easily be cancelled. One thing we’re not going to know though is if it’s cancelled over 3 months in advance. That’s just not going to happen, if they can put the festival on then they will. They obviously have not a great idea themselves yet because they released the lineup only yesterday. 
 

It would be nice to hear if they have a contingency plan or just to hear what’s going to happen in regards to potential priority for next years festival.
