    I think @PJNB wins...

    I think a couple of weeks after the band postponed the spring tour I made a couple of posts talking about the difficulty that I was having from Airbnb and other companies that I was trying to cancel with. I think that is a bit of a testament to Pearl Jam getting ahead of the rest of the continent and canceling when they did and the travel industry had not caught up yet with what was going on. Since then I have been mostly satisfied for the 8 shows I was going to with refunds as company policies were changing on the fly. I was doing 8 different cities in 5 different countries and as of today I am only out $27 for a cancelation fee from Hotwire since a hotel in Budapest would not grant me a refund. That said I have a huge amount of credits that need to be used with certain companies and if the Euro tour for example does not happen next year or the sequence of the Krakow,Budapest,Zurich shows don't stay together I will be out quiet a bit as I bet a lot of others would be as well.

    I don't really dare to look up what all the stuff I can't get repaid has cost me. 

    But with flights and hotels at the shows I was to do... I think I'm gonna have to eat roughly $400 dollars.

    So that is $400 plus not getting to hear Can't Keep open a show.

    How much money have you burnt? Or could you get most of it back?
    3800 Krona?

    I was lucky. My only travel expense was an Amtrak and hotel for Baltimore - both of which were fully refunded. I am holding on to my tickets to Baltimore, MSG, and Sea Hear Now - so my money is still being held for those - but I am hopeful those shows will happen.

    Postponed should have been illegal honestly.  Just a way to hold your cash.  Jet Blue gave 1 year from date of purchase to use the flight I bought but I would say overall, postponed, around $1700 (Pearl Jam MSG under 300).  Shitty for everyone...

    Zero. 

    Tickets to MSG and SHN on hold and since I’m local there were no other travel expenses to pay ahead of time. 

    I hope anyone out money gets a refund or a credit... good luck!

    I had a $250 travel credit from Amex and used it to cover a $396 flight from Ft Lauderdale to Toronto and back for the opening show. At some point when I have a chance I will contact Amex travel and have the $396 credited towards a future flight.

    I'm in the same situation for the Toronto show (live local, chose to sit on the tickets), and wish everyone the best in getting funds back into your pockets.

    I m sure I will lose a little in the exchange rate and whatever my bank charges to deposit/convert Canadian dollars.

    1500 euros are the flights...150 in trains. 150 two hotels in Greece hopefully will get money back at those. And then the concert tix but will use them next time.

    Money lost?  None

    Money temporarily tied up in the form of credits?  A lot, but I have no doubts I’ll be able to redeem them before they expire

    I never book refundable. 

    Well, I guess I am the only loser in Pearljamville then.
    Me either.  I lucked out that our super fancy Super 8 only had 1 option which was refundable.   My airline ticket wasn't, but Alaska Air offered to refund it because of Covid19 so I got lucky.

    In hindsight, I realized we lost $11 on the ferry reservation we booked to get from Victoria to Port Angeles.  That's not to shabby.

    We are in the same boat. Unfortunately I have doubts I can use them all 😂. Have credits with 5 different airlines (Westjet, Air Canada, Southwest, Vueling, Wizz)
    Also have a credit for a nonrefundable hotel near Hyde Park. Have a year to use it. No guarantees we will go next year... all depends.

    Like PJNB I won’t really know my answer until the new dates come out and it becomes clear which of my credits will be useful and which won’t.  But the real loss is the year of concerts. Money can always be remade (not always easily of course) but the year never comes back.

    Deep thinking right here.
