Weir cancels remaining 2020 dates: http://wu.artistic.io/u/lp/Bob-Weir/t/c-1x-RtrW8bvLxK7toSJN-PDPnuhahireZ...

While Lock'n has been rescheduled for October: https://www.locknfestival.com/

 

Hmmmm........Bob doesn't think it's safe to tour but Peter Shapiro thinks it's Ok to bring 10,000 out to a festival for a weekend. Strange. I wonder how many people will bail and how many show up if it actually happens.

 

 

The Lockin thing is a BS money grab.  Offer full refunds for those that want it. This is an attempt to hang on to more money, collect interest and not payback when you have incurred expenses--sue your insurance carrier over this, don't #%&$ the fans.  If he wants to reschedule and can get artists and fans to attend in October, fine, great.  But, he should make refunds to anyone who requests them now and not use the legal BS of "postponed" vs "canceled" like Ticketmaster is doing for the Stones tour.  Not refunding because the events are technically postponed and not canceled--yet no reasonable way they can do a stadium show safely until a vaccine is out and all attendees can show they have had it.  This is where the music business blows and promoters look like money grubbers

Esp when the Lockn crowd is the definition of pre existing conditions.

But, he should make refunds to anyone who requests them now and not use the legal BS of "postponed" vs "canceled" like Ticketmaster is doing for the Stones tour. 
 

Ticketmaster refunded my Stones ticket for San Diego last week.

I understand tomorrow TicketMaster will be announcing the cancellation of the rest of the year's Live Nation events.

Woz, thanks--we had Stones San Diego tickets as well and no refund yet.  We wrote them and no response.  Did a refund credit just show up on your card?

Yes, but you need to "request" the refund on the TM site. Sign in, click on your event and there is a "request refund" button at the bottom of the page. I did that 3-4 weeks ago and the credit just showed up on my card a few days ago. Wilco too. Still waiting on Roger Waters....

Woz, thanks, brother.  Will do. I was psyched to see the tour opener --did that in 81 in Philly

I was at that '81 Philly show! I've hit opening night a number of times for the Stones!

I remember that one well.  George Thorogood, followed by Journey and a painfully long wait for Mick to get his makeup just right but were were 10 rows back when the curtain opened to Under My Thumb.  They did there little bar pre tour warm up gig at Sir Morgan's Cove in Worcester, MA and when I moved to MA, used to frequent it.  It just closed a year ago

Journey was boo'd and people were throwing stuff at the stage as I recall!
