Cheltenham Festival. They held off lockdown until after it went ahead this year. The Tories will want their favourite event back on the calendar next year. 

this is true but racing is going ahead now without fans , i'm sure they can have Cheltenham behind closed doors where festivals and music in general can't. i do know that racing is struggling for not have punters through it's doors and all betting being online, thus it becoming to expensive for owners to own and run horses. So yeah they'd have a vested interest in bringing in back some fans at least.

Care to explain the reason for down voting this please @Copperface? Seems odd to be down voting a 15 day post given how often you frequent this forum

Sounds like you’re having a bit of a panic attack matey. See the other threads - we are quite a way off a decision being made on this, and probably closer to a headliner  announcement than a cancellat

When it’s directly affecting their own pockets you know they are going to make sure the event goes ahead as close to normal as possible. 

We'll see, as a racing man i might even be there myself. I wasn't at the last one by the way :P

The problem with that is that for the Tory/government types, racing is arguably the least important part of Cheltenham and certainly not the part they'll be most desperate to have happen.

didn't someone say 20% of tickets had been returned?

haven't heard that, although it seems to be around 15%-20% returns for other festivals.

While Glastonbury is more-popular than other fests so in-theory a smaller percentage might be returned, for other reasons I reckon it'll have a similar return rate.

I'm still expecting a sale in October, on the basis that the festival will proceed to plan until the point it decides it's not going ahead, and I don't think it will take that decision early. Things are still changing fast, and there's every reason to be hopeful of a vaccine or other ways of mitigating the problems of covid before next summer.

I agree completely. So many things will change and to cancel now would give them no shot of it happening.

ah ok! Thank you!! Maybe that's where i'd got the figure from then, if that's what other festivals have had, and got all mixed up and thought it was to do with Glastonbury! Perhaps I'm not completely silly after all!! :)

And with that I am back on the optimism train!

According to official website the date for full refunds is now extended to 31st January. Updated cancellation ticket info section 

ooo... do we think that changes things for an October resale? They might be just going for one in April then?

Good spot!!
