hathaway86 Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Not sure if this is the right place to put this so apologies if not; I've got two tickets to see White Lies tonight at Camden Powerhaus that I can no longer use due to having to self isolate as my 2 year old has a temperature. Does anyone have any interest? Face value was £80 for the pair, tickets are PDF so I could email them over should anyone want them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolee Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Good news about the double jabbed gigs/festivals/large sporting events but I hope it doesn’t come in sooner than September as I have 2 festivals and 3 gigs in August that I want to attend and my 2nd jab isn’t until the end of August so hoping they keep the negative test as an entry option for now as it would be a bit unfair on people that haven’t even had the chance to have both doses yet.

It would be unfair on you, but not me as I made my own decision to wait for my first for various reasons. I won't ever use my vaccine passport so I'm hoping for a few weeks reprieve before it actually comes in! To be fair I can guarantee I'll get Leeds in as they won't be doing it considering the demographic legitimately won't have all had chance Edited July 19, 2021 by efcfanwirral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing this news has come out now because it gives people a fair amount of time to go get vaxed before it comes in to play. No excuses come end of September - if you didn’t get vaxed then that’s on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why they've not reduced the Pfizer/Moderna gap down to 4 weeks yet, and I wouldn't rule out that it happens before your second dose is due. It would be pretty harsh to announce something like this, and then not give people adequate time to realise "oh shit, I really do need to do this" and to get a jab (at worst) this week in order to get fully done in time for the gig they've been looking forward to. The 10-12, then 8 week gaps made perfect sense at the time - it helped to get more people (partially) covered sooner, the longer gap actually improved protection for AZ, and it was sensible to have a consistent set of messaging across the different products out there. But now that it's well over 8 weeks since we last gave AZ first doses (at least on any widespread basis), it's time to bring it down.

If you have a negative test on an LFT system there is 50% chance it could just be wrong. It's a waste of time unless it's a proper covid test.

Padjeq Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 I'm interested to know how this covid passport is going down with the groups its intended to drive jab uptake in. This is a generation used to bringing an actual passport or driving licence on a night out with them, ready to be deployed in case they look younger than 27. And in certain venues, they're having their photo ID projected onto a wall and scanned into a computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Just been press ganged by my Dad into accompanying him to see Genesis at the O2 as the rearranged dates meant he had no-one to go with. First gig in 18 months will be Phil fucking Collins. Weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
