That's pretty cool!  Is that in the 10c store?

I'm copying and pasting this from another website forum regarding Dead & Co. but thought it might be interesting for some to read:

Pretty interesting Dead & CO's Playing in the Sand allowing fans to get refunds if they don't feel safe going to Mexico Wonder if this will be something offered to DMB fans

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/m...Xds3at6k6h0hRw


And Kleinman wasn’t alone. He’s one of thousands of Covid-fearing Deadheads who pushed event planners for a means to opt-out of the show; more than 2,100 people signed a petition in recent days calling for the show’s organizers to issue refunds. Fans also set up several pages on Facebook about the shows to argue about safety concerns.

Finally, amid the push from the Deadheads, on Wednesday, the band and CID announced that anyone can now get a refund, although the shows are slated to continue. As case counts rise, they’re now recommending that guests not leave the resort, and all events that CID planned off-site have been canceled.

“Any package holders no longer interested in attending Playing in the Sand for either weekend are now eligible for a refund by… submitting your refund request by 5 p.m. ET on Dec. 31, 2021,” the band and promoters said. 

Several fans who spoke with Rolling Stone before the announcement was made had already decided to skip the event, however — even without the promise of refunds. There were just too many factors at play that made the trip sound, increasingly, like a dicey idea — including increasingly difficult access to testing and the perils of travel.

Thread should be closed

Or taken somewhere else.  I would like to know about things closing in NYC ahead of NYE, sounds like any large gatherings are being shut down.  And yet, I can go to the Jets game on Sunday if I want to. Crazy.

Why would you want to go to the Jets game?  

To see Tom Brady play football and to drink some beer outside.  And tickets are cheap so it could be fun.  Not sure yet.

No Jets game is fun.  

As long as I am with my friends it will be fun.  Just not sure a "mass" gathering is a good idea given the the state of NY.  I made it through, Sea Hear Now, Ohana 1, US Grand Prix (130K on Sunday), and three nights of MMJ in a row without an issue, but I feel like this would be testing my luck.

It's running rampant here but the symptoms and effects are a sniffle.  A bunch of people I know have gotten it this time around.  All vaxed and no problems.

Actually both Chicago shows, assuming they go off as planned.  My wife surprised me with verified fan tickets for N1 (luckily didn't get gouged with platinum pricing) and going with a buddy that scored 10C tickets for N2.  Fingers crossed the shows happen!  You're going to the NJ show?

there should at least be an option for people to opt out or at least be able to sell their tickets.

Awesome to hear, what a nice surprise!  My wife and I will be attending the NJ show, it will be her first time seeing ev solo.

Awesome!  My wife's first EV show as well.  Have a blast, man and let's hope they happen.

Is there no refund option? I looked at my The War On Drugs tickets for late January this morning and there is a COVID refund option right up until the day of the show. Didn't see it before.

There is zero reason to cancel shows because of the Omicron variant if everyone is vaccinated and you require vaccinations for attendance.  The point of vaccinations was to mitigate the horrible results of COVID and to allow us to return to some normalcy.   Vaccinated people are barely affected by this new variant.  Yes I know they can pass it on to others but even if pass it on to other vaccinated people those vaccinated people will barely be affected.   No reason to consider cancelling at this point in my opinion as long as you require everyone to be vaccinated.  Let's stop treating the omicron variant like it's COVID in 2020 and no one was vaccinated and we barely had effective treatments.

I agree BUT tons of shows and events are getting cancelled. So while I agree, I also feel there’s a very real possibility of cancellations and/or postponements

Brian Fallon just canceled first 2 weeks of his tour.  Made it very clear that it was his choice and his choice only.

Easy to social distance there.

for gods sake, if your not comfortable don't go. How hard is that. This is life now, deal with it. Enough of the world is coming to an end crap. Its a fricken virus that's hear to stay. It will be here in feb, march and so on. Adjust accordingly and move on. So over this crap, its not 2020. Those who want to be vaxed have and those who don't wont. So hear we are. Arguing is pointless at this point. Living life like this is now the way its going to be so lets just do it!
