Its pain this is the one if the collection if these types that don't do day tickets. 

[Haza]

Squeaky bum time...

Sadly can't see this happening now with any delay. The organisers won't be able to risk starting the build with no guarantee that in 4 weeks everything will be OK and also without any covid insurance cover 😔

There are rumours that cancellation insurance may be announced as part of delay package this week. Fingers crossed for that.

Really? Where's that come from? I read they're helping theatres but I'd assume they wouldn't do the same for festivals

"Sources said that similar insurance will be offered to cover live entertainment, concerts and music festivals."

Promising! Well hopefully that's in the documentation tonight

Interesting word on y not's twitter account, personally can see a cancellation incoming.

[efcfanwirral]

Yeah I wouldn't risk it if I was them. As if it's going to only be 4 weeks and as if full festivals will be allowed so soon after

[JBarbour]

They might hang on a few more days before announcing anything. Might of been a breakthrough with gov backed insurance.

I wonder if people will be looking to sell there tickets anyway, or hang on for a cancellation. Spending money on travel and hotels(thinking more about the non camping festivals), also booking time off work and perhaps looking at other later festivals. 

It is certainly in my thinking at the minute.

Kendal Calling have just cancelled - so unless Y Not is the pilot (that was chosen, mentioned in the KC statement) it's looking a bit bleak...

Yep I'd expect an announcement today. Gutted

[A costume of a man]

Wonder if there's more than one pilot? I guess we'll know soon enough - just put us out of our misery if 2021 is dead.

If there is I'd say latitude and standon they have been the only ones to say about confidence on still going ahead

Wonder if we get an announcement soon for this. Some positive news regarding masks distancing ect after July 19th. Wonder if Y not can pulp this out the bag.

Sadly it looks very very bleak

How quickly does the campsites fill up here on the Friday? Never been but after a last ditch attempt at a festival this year (I know it’s looking very unlikely but I can hope).

Are the queues bad to get in on site? Unsure on the best arrival time/whether to fork out extra on VIP. TIA

Never usually any problem finding a camping space even arriving later on a Friday. However be prepared to have to walk further to find a space the later you arrive.

Queues are not too bad, usually busier on Thursday when it first opens then again first thing on the Friday but nothing that I would be concerned about. I would still advise to arrive as early as you can anyway.

I believe that the organisers have applied to be a pilot event and were still waiting on a response but that was a week ago so who knows what's happening. I understand it was a 50/50 chance of happening but I wouldn't get my hopes up 👍

Yeah I just want to know now. Would be the best feeling ever if it got chosen for a pilot but I just don't see it

Don't get what's holding it all up me. They said today theyre going to release pilot data with guidance for events to run soon

 Maybe holding out for that? Masks aren't s legal requirements from 19th too? There's loads of plates spinning. Worst case this dosent happen I've got victorious booked anyway.

They'll need to commit money soon so I'd be surprised if they can wait much longer

I personally wouldn't expect a free for all on the 19th - it'll be pilot event or nothing at all

I'm doing latitude if it ends up being the pilot or looks like it could be happening
