Considering Pearl Jam controls Ohana, I agree they should decide by June 1. If the decision is to postpone until 2021, then they should pause any additional payments until next year if people want to keep their tickets. They should also, of course, refund anyone who wishes to cancel their tickets.
The Cruel World Festival in Southern California in early September ( Morrissey, Bauhaus, Devo, etc.) was cancelled today. I am not holding out much hope for Ohana this year.
So far Coachella has not canceled, and they are a week AFTER Ohana and 10x the size.
I'm thinking if Ohana is not canceled by June 10th, it's moving forward with a strict mask policy and temperature check. If people don't want to deal with that and feel that their "freedom" is being attacked, they can request a refund. Ohana is in Orange County, a red county that has been very relaxed regarding the Covid-19 threat, and Ohana is outside on the beach. So, we'll see.

Kerry Keyes mentions "huge stadium shows" not happening, but didn't say that a 3-day weekend music festival at the beach ain't happening.
"There are not going to be huge stadium shows any time soon; I don’t know how we’re going to tour. How do you route a tour around a city that’s on lockdown? So, it’s going to change. And, at this point, I don’t think anybody knows realistically how it’s going to change."

Ohana is held in Orange County, but the actual venue, Doheny State Beach, belongs to California, so that may determine who makes the call regarding whether or not the event happens.
I really don’t think it matters what some entitled Orange County douchebags say. Or what the governors of California and NewJersey have to say. Pearl Jam will do what they always do. What’s in the best interest and safety of their fans and crews.

Uhhhh, no...OC turned BLUE in 2018 and that has NOTHING to do with whether an event will go on or not. There will be NO festivals in So Cal this year. Outside....inside....upside down, doesn't matter. Too many people too close together. If some Q folks who think it's fake want to go crowd together in a venue, go ahead.....but there is no way California (and surely NJ) will allow this. And yes, PJ won't play if they think there is any risk...which of course there will be. And Coachella will be cancelled too...
The only people speculating about festivals the fall of this year seem to have their heads in the sand about what's going on.....see? No Coachella, no Ohana...lets move on.
As long as Pearl Jam is still the headliner I’m cool with them keeping my money.
This is why I asked for a layaway termination. I didn’t want to chance PJ canceling but the festival going on and I just paid Platinum prices for Billy Idol. If they end up playing I’ll just grab some GAs

Yeah, that’s a pretty key sentence. The event is not happening in 2020. Anyone suggesting otherwise is badly confused about what’s going on. It’s not happening because clearly Pearl Jam is not going to put their fans in danger, that’s why they were the first to postpone a tour, and it’s not happening because the Governor of California has been saying for months there will be no large scale events in the state for the remainder of this year. That’s why they should just announce alternate plans ASAP.
And Coachella is trying to line the acts up to play next year. They’ve stated now pretty clearly there’s not going to be a festival in 2020.

How did you go about doing this? I'm strongly considering this as well.

Did they charge you a termination fee? Ohana said they would cancel mine but it would be 65 dollars charge. So I just waiting for the cancellation and will save the 65. Bush league business practices.

I went through front gate tickets, not SHN. I don’t have the email address off hand. But I emailed and requested my order be cancelled. It was hassle free, but a $30 termination fee. They needed the order #, last 4 of Credit card. They told me I couldn’t terminate the layaway plan once I was paid in full so keep that in mind. If I can find the email I’ll post it Found it: order-support@frontgatetickets.com

In this case, anyone on the layaway plan who has paid in full will have to be eventually offered a refund when the show is postponed or canceled,

Any idea on what the hold up is with cancelling it? The $890 I paid for tickets which are worthless given this isn’t happening would be nice to have back.

Guessing they assess the importance and the necessity of the event / balanced with the risk of spreading the virus, and would not want to put on the festival A concert is neither important nor necessary when concerned about stopping the spread of a virus 😷
So staggering arrival? How does that work for merch. And you might have to show up at noon for an eight o clock show? Shorter duration shows? Outdoor shows or virtual shows? That’s not even the same thing. Virtual shows? What’s next that I love. Virtual sex? Is that going to cost a ticket price also?
No, will not work....we will just wait till next year
the article doesnt suggest this to be a solution for this year.
I didn't say it did....
when were you implying it "will not work"? how do you know you won't be held to these types of restrictions next year?
It won't work because there is no way you can keep people separated a certain distance at a rock show! Nor would I want that to be the case. If you want to go to a show with circles in the grass that you aren't supposed to step outside, good luck. I don't think the artists want that nor do the people paying a lot of money for tickets.
