Im still holding LD's for Charlotte, Tampa and Atlanta.
Just checked TM and says "event is postponed, tickets are still valid".
Also is giving the option of a refund.
Until an official announcement is made, Im going to hold on to these.

I just happened to look at my credit card activity yesterday and I saw that Ticketmaster had refunded my San Diego Lucky Dips. I didn't request this. They just did it.
I don't recall a formal cancellation notification. Until now, I thought they had left it all as delayed pending new dates.
Obviously Covid isn't going away soon, but I guess someone decided to change "delayed" to "cancelled."
Did I miss a formal announcement?

Some think they can isolate the people age 0-65 from the older ages 65-100+. Let the party roll for "normal" people and then just close the nursing homes for the elderly etc. Well the young people have families, they work in hospitals, they have brothers and sisters, some of them work work in nursing homes, at hospitals, etc. Many have parents and older relatives, at risk.
If the virus is out of control then three million people will die in USA, 100,000 people will die in Sweden, six hundred thousand will die in UK and so on. The one percent people some don't care about. Meanwhile, as the hospitals are busy with ventilators missing and oxygen missing and sick nurses and sick and dead doctors, they will not be able to handle heart attacks or hip surgery or back surgery or kidney transplantation or other emergency surgery, because the hospitals are in emergency, totally swamped by corona cases. We had that in March/April, all over the world, and it is coming back now in the Northern Hemisphere, for the next six months, because we move indoor, and because some do not care.
Pubs are closing in UK, Spain, Italy, France etc are implementing more restrictions, as the numbers of cases grow rapidly, the corona test tents here where I live used to be open noon to 2pm for two hours, testing may be 350 people out of our 100,000 total every day, today they were open at least for 5pm, with long queues, very busy, with rapidly increasing cases. They do still have only 1% to 2% of the total tests positive, but more and more people catch a cold, they feel sick, or they do really have covid-19, so they test themselves, then the tracing people start their work, tracing an average of 10-12 contacts per person. Some have 80 close contacts these days. Then the governments have two options: Take control, or give up.
Because some give up, there will be no Stones tour. I keep this very Stones related, because no tour may be replaced by no football or no baseball and so on. No crowds. We care about the Stones. Others care about pubs, restaurants, work, business, travel, whatever. Everything will halt if we do not care.
By the way, the "herd immunity" does not do the trick. You are immune for 3-6 months, as it seems, then later on, like the flu, you may get it one more time. Meanwhile one percent of the population died before the socalled herd immunity was reached. A vaccine for everybody is the only thing that will get the Stones on tour. It will be here in 2021 some time. Then tour in 2022. May be.

You requested the refunds for those shows, right?

Oh, the irony! A couple of days’ after Big Al’s ‘controversial’ post, he’s forced into quarantine by his employer: a colleague in the office has tested positive and, I’ve been cited as someone they’ve had ‘close contact’ with. Karma?

You refer to yourself in the third person? Sounds like a Seimfeld episode.

For your sake I hope its just a wake-up call. Trust me, if you caught it, you may have a bumpy ride.

The Stones are hoping to get a tour off in 2021. However they are fighting the insurance companies who are trying to force the tour back to 2022

I have said that for months. The risks are too high to really plan much at the moment. Things may change in the string but right now no insurance company will accept the risk unless premiums are sky high which means they get the profits of the tour if it happens.

Most people over 18 in the UK should be able to get the vaccine by May this year. Not guaranteed of course - many doses to be manufactured, shipped, and jabbed in our arms. It should be the same timing in the rest of Europe and North America - although today who knows what will happen in the USA. I guess it will take all year to reach all countries.
Covid will be a big problem until that time, but getting better each month from February as more people get vaccinations.
I'm sure to fly, or to enter a country, we'll need proof of vaccination at least for this year - just like for smallpox back in the 60s and 70s.
So I think Tours being back on for the Autumn/Fall is quite possible. No Filter 2021 in the US/Canada maybe?
