I'm ok if they delay it to 2022. I would note I'm completely biased as we're holding onto GA tickets for back to back nights in Oakland. The odds of pulling that off again seem slim
What if (yes a big if) they came out with the vaccine in March. From March to June the majority of the population that is most at risk to this virus are vaccinated. Would that not be enough for us to have concerts again? Hospitalizations would be down, deaths would be down, do we really need to vaccinate everyone to get back to normal in peoples opinions? If I knew that the vaccine worked and the majority of the population that was at risk were protected I would be comfortable to go to a concert without hesitation.

you can't roll out a vaccine to the majority of the population that quickly. fauci even thinks we'll have a vaccine by the end of this year, and won't have everyone vaccinated until the latter months of 2021.

I agree, however, most people who held tickets probably expected the shows to be in 2021. That could still happen, but if the shows are delayed beyond 2021, I would hope another refund window would be offered.
I don’t think public health officials will sign off on capacity indoor shows until 75% of people are vaccinated, unless the treatment drugs become highly effective and available, which could happen first. All we can do is wait and see. Sooooo frustrating!

I do not think we will ever hit 75% vaccination of NA unless it is a mandatory vaccine. We will not have a mandatory vaccine I am guessing for either country so where does that put us if only 30%-40% of the pop takes it? We all still suffer?

I don’t know, but it will probably mean we have to wait until 75% of people have either had the vaccine or the virus.

It's getting to the point where cancellation and refunds are most reasonable. I have tickets to a total of 9 shows and 5 are still postponed with no dates. Even scored GA on the final night of the tour, which undoubtedly will not be the final night on the re-announcement. I'm willing to not ask for a refund and roll the dice but man it doesn't feel like the best approach as a business. Lottery is pretty easy to redo with everyone being about 99% odds except for NY and Baltimore.

you kind of do. The problem with coronavirus isn't only that it's more lethel. It's it's level of contagious. Even if only .2% of young people that get it die... That's 40 people in an Arena of 20000. I think it's contagiousness is the most insidious thing about it... it gets people in quantity of over quality.

I listened to a retired British doctor, last week on CNN, who succinctly imparted and expanded on what others have said:
- Vaccine likely this year, or early next - Vaccines will be widely available by middle of next year. - Vaccine is highly unlikely to be 100% effective. 70% would be great, but would still leave more than 1 in 4 people susceptible to Covid-19 after vaccination. - Between the unlucky, and the anti-vaxers, the disease will continue to spread and mutate, unless... - We mask and social distance for months following vaccination.
In the most recent Broken Record podcast (excellent listen) Bruce Springsteen said he doesn’t see a situation where people are going to feel comfortable attending shows for quite some time....2022.
I’m holding on to my EU tickets for now even though I can’t use them for the rescheduled 2021 dates. I see the possibility of those dates being rescheduled/cancelled much more likely than actually happening.

The other thing that could happen to start up events sooner, is that you would need to show some kind of proof of vaccination to fly, go to public gatherings etc... might be a cost of doing business.
There’s a lot of guesswork in all this. Just for one example, Elton John is currently scheduled to restart on 01 Sep 21. That seems like it might work, if the vaccines are approved soon.

That's also Europe, though. His US tour resumes January 2022, which is probably still optimistic.

I don’t think US vs EU makes a difference. One isn’t going to have the vaccine materially before the other. FWIW in my opinion January 2022 is somewhere between realistic and pessimistic. I don’t think it’s optimistic. Amsterdam 6/16/21: that’s optimistic!

One thing to keep in mind is Pearl Jam is not going to be one of the first groups to rush out and start having concerts again. They were one of the first big acts to cancel their tour and will be one of the last to return. That's why I see 2021 as unlikely.
