sedra Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 If the proposal for COVID passports for mass events goes ahead how do we think this might effect things? This would apply to Glastonbury I would think - not all artists or other groups who attend will be happy about this. Wonder what impact might be ? Hopefully not longer queues to get in on Weds!

Ayrshire Chris Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 On 9/2/2021 at 8:37 PM, The Clearest Blue said: If it helps give some hope to the ticketless, we were a group of 16 going to Glastonbury 2020, we are now down to 10. That’s interesting, I know of 18 people who have paid the deposit, though not part of any group. Been monitoring them from afar (nothing creepy, just doing it on behalf of those ticketless e festers). Twelve including ourselves are definitely going, fully committed, four arnt going due to various circumstances but only two have asked for deposits back, think that’s due to them also needing the cash back for Sticklinch camping. The other two reckon they won’t go, not a happy couple. So the real possibility of six back in the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda dig the idea that Emily personally vets every volunteer, takes up the references herself and engages in petty disputes with people she doesn’t know. It’s basically what we do on here.

A screenshot on your phone isnt going to be that hard to doctor should you be that way inclined. Are the people checking them really going to watch you log into the app?.. no chance. I am in favour of proof of vaccination and the subsequent checks but its going to be a piece of piss to get around should you want to.

Florian Saucer Attack Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 72.3% of the UK population already has had at least one dose of the vaccine. Let's hope by next summer the number of morons who have still not got the vaccine is so low that they don't need to check vaccine passports as the threat of covid will be minimal.

kalifire Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 It’ll still be tricky because the vaccine doesn’t eliminate transmission, so large gatherings will still be super spreader events until we all inevitably catch it at some point. There will still be more vulnerable groups, so do I attend Glastonbury as a person in my 40’s and return to my parent’s place with them turning 72 next year? We’re all double jabbed already (and presumably they’ll have had boosters) but there will still be an increased risk of catching and spreading Covid by attending Glastonbury. So I’m not sure what my post-festival strategy should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless its a rotating barcode which is becoming more the norm for things. You cant fake that when it gets scanned. Thats the biggest part of all this, not using human eyeballs to check validity but technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been abroad and had nothing scanned, i'll stick my neck out and say that theres very little chance of putting a scanning process in place. The red tape around access to government databases will see to that. The whole passport thing is to scare the idiots who wont get it to get it imo, and rightly so. But the actual logistics of checking 200 thousand + people is just not going to happen. Edited September 5, 2021 by Stretlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that 23 is going to be absolute carnage with all of the pent up demand. We will probably try but I think that I will have back-up plans ready. Either way it will be different for us (knowing that it will be ages before we have a chance to get tickets has caused big chunks of our group to loose interest). Anyway getting back on topic. I think good rumours and self-confirmations will start in Nov ahead of Elton being confirmed in Dec and Billie in Feb. I'm going to get an Elton standing ticket for BST on the basis to sell it face value if I get a Glastonbury one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly just wait to see what the covid landscape is like? I know we were in a different position last year in regards to vaccines etc. but there wasn't anything lineup wise confirmed pre cancellation... I'll bite a hand off for something soon though!
