And i got hammered for saying exactly the same as these posts right here. This place is ridiculous
A portion seem to believe that because they aren't in the high risk areas or demographic that this, literally, is nothing to worry about. They don't seem to realize until getting repeatedly beaten over the head, sometimes, that we are all connected. Connected down to the star dust. Some appear to not give an f about anything or anybody other than themselves. Explains our lack of universal healthcare and our huge homeless problem and our massive military. Humans afraid to behave humanely.
are you suggesting we all should just shutter in place at home for the next few months? I get that we are all connected but at this point there is no need to over react and over panic either. 98% of the people who get this virus are fine. What do you suggest our action should be?
No. I don't know. Isn't that the real problem. Maybe we could be more prepared for likely catastrophic events than we are for war.
yes there are a lot of unknowns. i wonder if anyone here is in the Seattle area. Washington state seems to be ground zero in the US at the moment. how is it being handled there? are schools closed?
One of the problems with travel insurance is that the fear of travel due to a virus outbreak is NOT a reason for refund.
I had a trip to Spain during the US portion of the tour. We had to cancel because our friend who has the time share in which we r staying can't go because he's on a biologic medicine so his risk for contraction is high. I have travel insurance and chose the option for cancel for any reason (extra charge). The rep said that the claim should be approved. We spoke a bit and she said that the standard policy will probably not cover if the country, state or other govt body imposes restrictions, I notice an exclusion dealing with govt prohibitions. Remember each policy is different.
yes, there are more expensive policies to be bought....
Here is what is being said by the professionals for the incident at the Tool concert.
Director-General of Health Dr. Ashley Bloomfield believes the risk to others in the audience is low at this time, but that concert-goers should still be concerned. “There’s no way we could know which people were in that area,” said Bloomfield. “So, our advice to them is that they are casual contacts; they are at low risk.”

Well, here in Seattle.............Amazon is trying to get employees to work at home. Schools close to the "Assisted Living Home" are closed. Seattle Public Schools are open. The City bought a MOTEL in KENT, WA for 4.1 million a couple days ago. They will use this motel to quarantine People that have the CR19. Yesterday it was known that a concession seller has the CR19 and was working at the XFL game this past weekend. PENCE arrived in WA STATE last night, SO OBVIOUSLY we are all set! He is the POINT PERSON, lucky for the USA..........Costco Monday was 500 people deep 20 minutes before it opened, I go early, all I wanted was VODKA......... so kinda pissed off this week. If you have an underlying health issue, I definitely wouldn't say this is a NO ISSUE.
I would be fine with the tour being postponed and the tickets being honored on the new dates
To me, this seems like the most likely scenario should they postpone any of the shows. On a less serious note, could you imagine the dumpster fire on the forum if people that won 10c tickets for these show didn't win them for the re-scheduled shows if full cancellation was the direction things went in? There would be some hall of fame level melt down threads going.

That would be hilarious. And I’ll tell you why. Some people who won tickets absolutely dumped on people who didn’t win when they would vent about it. Like I’ve said, I’ve seen people start to flip when they didn’t get that email, then get the email, then tell someone who lost the lottery to stop crying.
Yes, they'd probably do a reschedule. There was a U2 tour about 8 years ago(?) that was postponed a full year. No reason to cancel, just postpone and tell folks to hang on to their tickets. They can always cancel later if it really won't be rescheduled.

I've posted a few times earlier in the thread. I have been working on a plan with my company for remote work if necessary. It would be a last resort as I manage operations at a data center which is typically staffed 24x7x365. So I've been following this very closely for the past couple of weeks. The school district next to me has shut down for the next 2 weeks and are doing online, distance learning. Various individual schools in other districts are closed due to contact with COVID-19 infected people. Many large companies (Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, DocuSign, etc...) in the area have instructed their local employees to work from home. The Seattle/King County Health Department has issued guidance around social distancing, avoiding large crowds, etc... Especially for anyone over 60 years old, or pregnant, or having underlying health conditions. Many events have been cancelled. I'm surprised the Sounders are not cancelling their match tomorrow. So we'll have > 40,000 people at ground zero gathering together high-fiving, and eating food from those concession stands. BTW, one concessions worker at CenturyLink has already been confirmed with COVID-19. On the plus side, my evening commute has gone from 80 minutes to 40 minutes this week, so there's that.
Funny how this thread has taken a bit of a turn. Lots of EvenBros demonstrating their nonchalance about this thing early in the thread. And just overnight the thread is suddenly showing a bit more concern for what is going on. Just wait until it spreads further in bigger cities on the east coast. Suddenly what was insignificant because it was just Seattle, is now a massive crisis. And BTW, it will happen. We have no vaccine, no treatment specifically for this, and we're just starting to build capacity to be able to test. We are still at the very beginning of this thing in the U.S. Our only defense right now is practicing good hygiene and practicing social distancing.

It is a calling card for our special little group here. How many Pearl Jam fans does it take to change a light bulb? None, they're all too dehydrated from crying about tickets and merch.

IF they had to cancel Europe I think they’d have to postpone by a year. So I hope the tickets would still be valid

Was thinking more about the US portion. I think the spring tour is in more danger than the summer tour as more will be known in the next month or 2.
Coronavirus 1, My Dream 0. Due to being on immunosuppressants for my heart transplant, I've been told not to attend the Toronto show. I got GA tickets for the first time ever. It was my #1 post transplant bucket list item. 😔😥 To those attending the Toronto show, have fun, God bless and be good to each other!

Saw your post on FB last night. Your health is so much more important than a show, and there will be more opportunities on the next leg. This is the right decision. Best to you!
