If it was an email I can’t imagine anything goes out today now. Super odd to give a deadline for refunds and no news.

According to tweets BST have replied with to some, the email is still coming today.

Ah yes, looks like AXS replies to someone about an hour ago saying "shortly".

Maybe they are going to send it super late, giving less chance to apply for a refund...

Those teaser videos they did before (with the clouds and song lyrics) were usually posted quite late, like 9pm. Hopefully they're not doing the same thing here...

Either you're right, or it's not coming today. Very odd. Maybe there's an embargo on one of the acts, but can't see why they would hold all of it back.

[Gilgamesh69]

Just imagine the scenes when they post a clip of some clouds, and the lyrics "Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you"

Everyone would be ecstatic on Twitter until the announcement comes and it is Liam Gallagher

[jparx]

I don't think anything is coming...

What the fuck are they playing at?

Utterly bizarre really. Axs have been saying "soon" all day on Twitter and there's not even a tweet to acknowledge they're not meeting their own deadline. Just say "sorry guys, we're working on it but it will by end of May now".

[atomised]

Everytime I check.back here and there is a new post I think there must be news 

[Gilgamesh69]

Honestly thiiiis close to kicking off. Golden circle? Nah mate I'll give you black circles, around yer eyes

[jparx]

 

There it is then. The thread was about Taylor, so hopefully don't panic means it's good news 😂

So I assume the refund deadline has now been extended?

Who knows. Clusterfuck init.

I just wanted to carry my PJ ticket over if they do reschedule, but appreciate others might need the money now. 

"Hello,

Following on from our email to you on Wednesday 29 April, we are contacting you again with an update from the organisers of BST Hyde Park 2020.

"The challenges caused by COVID-19 continue to affect the global event industry. After regular consultations with the artist community and The Royal Parks regarding the ongoing crisis, we will continue to monitor the situation before announcing our 2021 programme of artists. As a result, we believe that the best course of action is to automatically refund all ticket holders whilst this process continues. No further action is needed from your side.

Whilst we continue our discussions with the artists, we want to reassure fans that you will not miss out and if your 2020 headliner confirms for the 2021 event, you will be given priority access before the general on sale to repurchase your tickets for that show. Full details will be released upon artist announcement."

Huh, fair enough. I guess they're waiting to see if it's actually possible to hold the event then.

[atomised]

Was half expecting that  frustrating having pondered which to request refunds for but priority access suits me

[cdm22]

Can't say i'm that impressed myself. They could have sent out that email yesterday and avoided all of the people hassling about the lack of any information. Still, priority access is certainly better than nothing.

[SalviaPlath]

Seems like Taylor is unlikely to commit to repeating 2019 dates going by chat about other festivals she was due to play so already requested a refund, but even if I hadn't this seems like a very good approach to me.

2021 festival season appears unlikely so put money back in people's pockets and if it can go ahead that's a bonus, with priority access to tickets a fair approach. 

[atomised]

Not willing to go so far as to state 2021 festival season seems unlikely this far ahead

Don't do that. You're killing me by just saying something like that.

It's hard as it is.
