Me and my family all okay also. Going back to a festival made me so happy. I really hope festivals and gigs continue and that we all get more opportunities to experience live music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollapalooza in Chicago requires proof of vaxx or a neg test within 72 hours of entry. Lets see how 120,000 per day deal with delta. I predict our summer is not going to end well after this. I booked my flights at the beginning of the year for Chicago because my friend is running the marathon on October 10th, (she's running Ian just going for the food)....I really thought we'd be back to normal by then but it's not looking good at the moment. Hope your festival goes smoothly 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see exactly what you'd predict even before the festival happened - a few anecdotal accounts, some of which will likely be from bullshitters who didn't even go to the festival. Yeah this is my thinking, and also most of the posts on there are very much hearsay as well which never help. The EDP round here did an article about people saying they were positive now but gave one single anonymous source. The media will pounce on anyone who says they were positive afterwards and ignore those who weren't, for example my family who went have tested most days since and have all been fine so far and by the sounds of it most other attendees are too so we can hope it stays that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be double vaccination for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah after seeing Latitude have a fair few last minute drop outs (and tbf, pretty decent replacements) I’m expecting similar to happen at any festival that happens any time soon.

JoeyT Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Off to Valley Fest tomorrow. Snaffled a couple of tickets for £60 for the pair and given we’re only 10 mins away would be rude not to! Looking forward to introducing the 18month old to her first festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprefan Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Dont mind us over here but apparently nobody wants to pay attention to any festivals happening unless it contains with a certain type of audience. ( caucasian ) Total outrage despite it being the only major one thats happening right now with proof of vaxx or a neg test required for entry. We cant have nice things or even try.

I guess it’s risky because I assume it’s where folk who wish to stitch you up will prey but I just commented on one of the festival posts on social media seeing if anyone was looking to get rid of tickets. Had a few messages and just said I wasn’t going to be paying more than £60 for the pair and how I understood if they wanted to hunt around for more money but to message me if they got desperate.

Yeah it's a tough one doing it via social media, though here is my preferred option to buy and sell if going along those lines as you can look at post history and get a good feel for the perso . I like the protection of Twickets (plus I'm well behind them as a concept - always been a fan due to the face value approach). I ended up buying Reading weekend tickets in 2019 that never arrived, I had my money back a couple of weeks after the dispute was opened and managed to bag some more that did arrive. Very impressed, they were really helpful in letting me know what to do in opening a PayPal dispute. The concept of a sold out gig (aside from Glastonbury!) seems to be a thing of the past now which I can't complain about. Always face value options to be found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
