Requested a Refund

I just requested a refund for both Oakland shows. I can not see going to a show that might or might not happen next year on a date I can’t attend and I’m not willing to attend with a mask on or at a social distance. Next I’m going to request refunds for my two nights at Ohana. Hopefully that goes smooth. I don’t wanna be charged on June 1st for the lay away plan. Super depressed that I may never see PJ again, but if the Home Show, night 2 was my last one, I went out on top. 
Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    The only way they are taking my tickets is if they force me to get a refund. I hope they continue to do as they are doing and then have shows when they can with the tickets that we have. Also Krakow 18 > Seattle 2 18  ;)

    Seattle 2 was a bucket list thing to me. To see my all time favorite band in their home city, being about 10 rows center from stage in that huge venue and the set list and energy. Then the MoPop display at 1am after the show. It was an epic time for me, my wife, my great friend and his girlfriend. 

    But as much as I love PJ, being miserable during the show with a mask on and various other problems due to Covid, I would rather not go. Plus the original dates were on a weekend, if they are rescheduled for a weekday I can’t go. Oakland is 6 hours round trip from home. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    Just emailed Front Gate Tickets for my 2 nights of Ohana.  Will let everyone know what happens once I receive a reply. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    Not doom and gloom. It’s not like I will be banned from ever purchasing tickets again. If a miracle cure happens and life returns to normal and finances dictate, I can always purchase tickets again. And if not, it’s just a concert. But I would rather have the money in the bank, than the mystery and unsureness  of the future shows. Dates, requirements, etc... But that’s just me. 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    Alternative reaction would be....makes sense, realistic approach.

    Good luck to all, either way.

    I would hit them up with a chat on their site and ask whats up. My friend was looking for one a week ago but I never followed up with him what TM said.

    I look at glasses as half empty. I’m getting older, I live in California, I might not have a job at the end of the year and my wife may not either. And I’m NOT willing to wear a mask or stand five miles from the stage to social distance or wait in line for weeks to be close. Could things change? I hope so! Until it does, it is what it is and like Popeye, I yam what I yam! 
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    I wish you the best.  Ohana hasn’t been cancelled so it would be surprising if they provide a refund.  That said, it would be interesting to know if they do - please update when you can!

    I got a refund on a standard Oakland ticket within a day or two of requesting it. I also requested a couple of fan2fan refunds around the same time and don't think those have come through yet. I'm holding onto some of my tickets because I have trades and walk-ins set up with other fans.

    I understand if people are having financial difficulties, and that concert money needs to be reallocated to keeping a roof over ones house.   That makes complete sense and is the right thing to do.   Necessities come before concerts.   If you don't need the money I don't really get it.   It's all unknowns right now.   We don't know the new dates, we don't know what the circumstances will be, etc.... I'm not giving up my tickets until I know more.    I would either  not be able to make the new date, or be uncomfortable with the health conditions.   Until either of those become an issue I see no reason to seek out refunds.

    I feel like people think the worlds ending and we're never getting concerts again.  It'll take a while, but you can't isolate civilization forever.   Eventually we're either all going to get it, or they're going to figure out a vaccine/treatment. 

    I am finding this to be a very divisive topic.    Lots of people just want refunds even if they don't need the cash (feels like panic selling when the market is down).   Then there's a bunch of people who will just wait it out until the shows happen or they get cancelled.

    I honestly don't think concerts will go forward if having them is going to cause a widespread outbreak.   I don't think it's financially feasible to run socially distanced shows in big venues.   The reduction in number of fans would make it unfeasible.    I don't think they'd do shows if the virus was rampant because people won't want to go.  People like the OP would think twice.. I would think twice...

    I think these are being delayed until the coast is clear, or if that takes longer than we hope.. maybe we start seeing cancellations.  

    For me.. I need more info.  I'm ok for cash right now, I cant wait it out longer.   I don't want to give up tickets until I know more.
