So hypothetically lets say the festival is cancelled but travel restrictions are lifted by then... I'm going to be stuck with a non-refundable airbnb and flights arent I, so I'm going to lose about £700 regardless. In perspective of the world right now I know it's nothing but on a personal level a bit of a bummer :( 

No need for concern about this being a bummer, however, as we will definitely still be on shutdown in early July.

Also I would write to the airbnb people now and politely ask them if they would allow you to cancel. Worked for me.

Your Air b n b should be fine, they run cancellations right until the death going from past experience.

 

They're also aware of the effect the virus has had and are offering full refunds, I got one for Amsterdam, I was supposed to go in 2 weeks.

Ah okay that gives me some confidence, cheers. Was meant to be in Berlin in the next few days and bookings.com are being really funny about cancelling or even moving our hotel booking despite the hotel themselves saying it's okay, so thought may have a similar problem with airbnb.

Corona virus or not you cancel with some good notice on Air b n b for a full refund. I think you cancel on the day before and you're only charges a service fee.

 

You can go on air b n b and click cancel and it'll tell you all about it but you dont have to cancel.

Mine currently says I get 50% back only.. I think the hosts set their own cancellation terms? Guess I just need to wait or as someone said above message my hosts.  'We are now offering Guests full refunds and Hosts no-charge cancellations for reservations booked on or before 14 March with a check-in date of 14 April or earlier. Please note that this policy will not cover any new bookings.'

Mine fell under those dates, possibly that's why.

Spain now on lockdown when will a decision be made about this festival? 
every other festival has been cancelled 

information required ASAP 

And why ASAP? Cancellation of travel and accommodation might be a lot easier closer to the dates, cause they might have special rules in place during lock down phases.

it states this on their website..

https://madcoolfestival.es/en/tickets-conditions.php

''In case of a total cancellation of the festival, the organization will take responsibility on refunding the amount of the purchased ticket, on the other hand, the distribution cost that sales channels apply to the price of the ticket will not be refunded in any case by management given the fact that management is not a recipient of this amount and that the provision of this service is understood to be made at the time of the purchase of the ticket.''

 

''Once the ticket is purchased, it will not be changed or returned, except in case of cancellation of the festival. In case of total cancellation of the festival, management will take responsibility to refund the amount of the ticket. The total or partial cancellation of the event due to force majeure, in no case will result in the refund of the amount of the ticket. The distribution cost that the sales channels apply to the price of the ticket will not be refunded in any case by management, given the fact that management is not a recipient of this amount and that the provision of this service is understood to be made at the time of the purchase of the ticket. In case of cancellation of the festival the refund of the ticket can be made within (15) days from the scheduled event. There will be no refund once the (70%) of the festival has been completed. The bad weather conditions and any changes in the festival's schedule are not a matter of receiving the ticket's refund.''                                  

I'm guessing this means that if it is cancelled we will be refunded in full minus administration or postage fees?

 

it also states this..

''The Organization reserves the right to modify, alter or suspend the dates of the event, as well as to modify or cancel the content of these conditions of sale at any time without the Organization incurring any liability to the acquirers or third parties and with the sole obligation to make it know. ''

 

so perhaps they could reschedule and not refund anyone.. would you still be able to obtain a refund If you cant make the rescheduled dates?

I think the main rule is everywhere that if they cancel something, they refund. Even Ryanair refunds the ticket price in case if cancellation.

In case of rescheduling the agencies always give you the chance for refund if you can't make it on the other date. 

I'm pretty sure noone needs to panic, if they have to cancel they will refund you the tickets. And that's it. No ifs, no buts.

500 died in the past 24 hours in Spain, things look/sound horrendous.

 

Matter of when not if?

As a spanish who is living this: yes, it is awful. A real nightmare. And to be honest I don't even care about future concerts/festivals anymore... I just want this to be fully over so we can get back to our “normal” lives again. (That's IF we can get back to our normal lives bc this will change all of us for sure)

Spain is cancelling big gatherings up to July so yes this is a matter of when.

Be safe and stay home please 🙏🏻 ❤️

I'm surprised they're still quite active on social media, suggesting  playlists etc

I think they are trying to send positive vibes in these challenging times and communicate that everything's on track until the governments decides the opposite.

On the other hand I'm pretty sure they are looking hard for the plan B. Like rescheduling the whole thing to Autumn.

Impossible, they need other festivals to move with them too. 
We will see. Like someone said before, the virus is the main concern now. Focus on that. 
But some festivals will not survive a cancellation.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
