Will Coronavirus lead to the cancellation of Glastonbury?

“When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.”

When I find myself in times of trouble,

I wash my hands obsessively,

Singing Happy Birthday doubly.

Doubly, doubly, doubly oh doubly, singing Happy Birthday doubly.

It does show my horrible nature that the only thing I can think about re this virus is whether Glastonbury will happen

[chazwwe]

For those that are certain that the festival is not going ahead. I'm genuinely curious, why are you still hanging around discussing it and shutting down those who are a bit positive?

Not sure of that actually scans, being forced to listen to the Frozen II soundtrack on the last roadtrip of the year.

Can’t upvote for some reason. 
 

@eFestivals what time does the upvote limit reset?

The fact still remains that most of the people who are going to die from this in the uk will die in the next 6 to 8 weeks. Your government made very few attempts to slow the spread so there’ll be a huge amount of cases in a short space of time and then it’ll drop off in May. Who knows what’s going to happen but at the moment it’s illogical to say that it’ll definitely be cancelled. It’s too early to know.

It’s almost as though glastonbury is a month too soon

Because this is a thread dedicated to the discussion around whether corona virus will lead to the cancellation of Glastonbury or not?

Maybe they will take a wait and see approach until end of April, then the data might give a more solid indication of whether a reschedule event in August would actually go ahead?

I imagine they're looking at these angles. As will Festival Republic and co.

More than 50% think it will go ahead so discussion over.

It's a rolling 24 hours. You don't get a new allowance at a particular time, it checks whether you've used up your vote quota in the 24 hours since trying to vote.

Then why does any piece of good or positiveness get shot down immediately with doom and 'no'. Which then follows pages of doom. 

If everyone is so confident its going to not go ahead, what is there to discuss? 

Since the previous thread started there are individuals who are still posting in here who only post that its cancelled and there's nothing we can do about it. What kind of joy is there in that only thinking about doom but also putting other people down who have any sort of positive outlook. I was quoted on the first couple of pages of the original thread in saying there's no point of all of this and they should just tell us its over now. Thats not discussion.

That's not how discussions work.

Definitely a real account but I will say I have quite a unique outlook on this at the moment. I’m putting everything in for this year’s festival going ahead as I have no idea what will be happening in my future.
 

This year could very well be the last chance I get to go. All depends on how my surgery goes.

festival is not going to be happening though, you’d have to be mad to think it is- sorry that’s not what you want to hear.

I'm sure you're a wise person with some kind of unmanifested authority on this subject, but you'll understand if I don't take your word for it.

I’m gutted too but less gutted than if my parents in their 70’s died due to completely uneccesary large scale social gatherings taking place.

True. Probably best you don't go, then. I don't mean that to be as facetious as it reads - if your parents are going to be impacted by Glastonbury taking place, that risk is magnified by you attending. Otherwise, unless they attend themselves, you don't have much of an argument.

I'm in the same position, and am considering not returning to see my parents after the festival, but staying elsewhere until my flight back to Australia.

The comment you quoted is the exact same comment I was talking about in my post above. Obviously that individual doesn't think its happening, so is just hanging around to hope others feel bad and the same way? I don't get it.

I'm in the same boat, my step dad is 65 but was also very ill last year that we almost lost him. 

I'm also in the risk group my self, so have to be very serious in when thinking if I'm going, if it goes ahead.

Seems to be the path of least resistance...roll them over, those who don’t get tickets will be disappointed (but those who don’t get tickets outnumber those that do every year, and they are always disappointed)... there’s no way to keep everyone happy, so why not keep your ticket holders happy?...I have a vague recollection of you posting around t’day saying you didn’t get one, so I’m presuming no ulterior motive for believing they’ll roll over. Option to roll over or refund seems most likely to me (with the caveat that balances are paid as you will have actually committed to attending the festival at that stage)...

Yep. I dont have a ticket. Ive no motive here other than to try temper some of the over ambitious craic that it will go ahead and everything is gonna be fine. 

Rolling tickets over is the best solution.
