Shows how the festival wasn't that far off being able to take place this August, especially if they'd gone for a reduced format. 20.000 people attended festival in Utrecht. They had to show green covid certificate to enter. Result: 1.000 infected with corona virus(so far) https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2021/07/1000-people-at-utrecht-festival-infected-with-coronavirus/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you just needed a LFT in few days before whereas (easy to commit fraud) eg Cruilla and Vida were doing them onsite. Not saying festivals don’t cause infections but all too apparent now that outdoor-only festivals with good testing are at lower end of risk spectrum.

" Newspaper might be wrong then. Its not, it is an outdoor festival. There is a video in this article (in Dutch obviously) https://www.ad.nl/utrecht/lachen-dansen-knuffelen-utrecht-gaat-eindelijk-los-op-een-festival-je-voelt-je-gewoon-gelukkig~afc866611/ I mean it was always likely something like this would happen. Testing is too unreliable and vaccination rates have not yet reached herd immunity. With Delta being more infectious and vaccines less effective against getting infected than other mutations, we'll need much higher vaccination rates to safely hold festivals again.

daveje Posted July 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 The Dutch experience is that there's a huge difference between tightly controlled events that are closely monitored, and open events that people treat like they're back to normal. We went from about 600 cases per day to 10,000 in about 10 days. I'm also pretty skeptical that a packed outdoor festival is considered low risk. It might be outdoors, but people are crammed into an enclosed space with close proximity to the same people for about an hour, shouting and cheering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Too much of the Utrecht festival was people crammed inside without good ventilation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Float Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Interesting that PS updated the poster immediately when both Phoenix and Ride were announced. But there still hasn't been any update since Warpaint, Little Simz, Cuco or Khruangbin. In fact, there isn't any mention on the website at all of the Poble Espanyol Khruangbin show.

The relevant point here is: It is very unlikey that a single person infected all the others, the testing regime must have slipped several positive cases. I think it absolutely possible that festivals will start to demand vaccination from attendees in the coming years, once the inevitable legislation to allow that is in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it absolutely possible that festivals will start to demand vaccination from attendees in the coming years, once the inevitable legislation to allow that is in place It got pretty messed up, but still shows the reality of actual events that aren't controlled tests. The QR codes weren't always verified, people sometimes just waved the phones at stewards and got in, some people copied QR codes from their friends, etc. And there's still the more fundamental problems: too few people in the age group were vaccinated; vaccinated people could still be contagious; Delta is extremely contagious; people were in enclosed spaces for extended periods. And everyone acted like Covid was over. They're now saying that for future events, simply being vaccinated isn't enough, and those people need to be tested as well.

BA_Barrabus Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Anyone received anything further re ticketing since we had to choose a weekend or upgrade?

I know for me personally, I've paid for (and received) my upgraded tickets for a couple months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveje Posted July 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I upgraded mine to both weekends, and the email came back from them early June I think. Deadline to pay was end June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA_Barrabus Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Interesting! This is what I got from REDTKT back in May: Thank you for filling out the form, your request has already been processed. PRIMAVERA SOUND will contact you in July to formalize the weekend selection or the upgrade to Weekend 1 + Weekend 2 ticket. Looking forward to seeing you at Primavera Sound 2022!

Chilly Toad Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Got this on July 15th: Use the link to purchase your tickets. Once you have completed the process the tickets will be sent to your email address. You have until July 29 to complete the process, after that date the link will expire. Took about two minutes to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
