The Rolling Stones will have to cancel/postpone the tour when they are unable to comply with their contract. There are a number of issues that may lead to this:

- UK closed from travel to USA during tour period (including rehearsals dates i.e. 3-4 weeks before May 8)
- Large crowds banned in USA from May 8 and on (may not happen until early April)
- Legal terms in the contract related to health

I expect the tour to be postponed or canceled within two weeks time, but it's all up to the legal people really.

The virus will be all over USA for months, that is the reality. No way there can be a tour this summer. We just have to wait for an announcement to come. It is sad, but they can not tour as it is now. Not now, not next month, not in the summer.

I think Mick will sit this one out a little longer before cancelling the tour, in light of a programme just watched on channel 4 there is a view that isolating the virus doesn't stop it spreading again as soon as the lockdown gets released. Meaning there isn't an answer to this virus, lockdowns are futile long term. The chain of thought that when more people have the virus the virus gets defeated is probably a more realistic response long term. The economy of Europe and America etc can't afford to stay in lockdown.

I'm still buying concerts tickets which shows could be cancelled, today I'm getting a ticket to Herman's Hermits September show and if it does get cancelled I've still got a hard copy ticket and promo poster to frame

Ok uhm that's the spirit I guess? A poster from a show that never happened certainly could be worth something

FYI. Ticketmaster in some cases not giving refunds for some rescheduled concerts. Changed their policy a few days ago. Not sure how they can change it after you already purchased tickets under the old policy. But I cannot get a refund at this time. And it is BS

How to get a ticket refund if your event was canceled due to coronavirus outbreak

Ticketmaster has a list of events that have been canceled or postponed. If you purchased tickets from Ticketmaster for an event that was canceled, you will automatically receive a refund to the same card you bought them with, minus UPS fees, within 7-10 business days, according to the company. You can also sign into your Ticketmaster account, select your order, select refund and choose the tickets you’d like refunded.

If an event was postponed, Ticketmaster will contact you by phone or email with the new event information as soon as it has it. If you can’t make the new date, you will see a refund button in your order if refunds are approved “by the artist, team, venue, or promoter.” More information here.

Why is the Stones tour still mentioned on this thread? Have a look around.

Now there's been mention of the possibility of domestic travel restrictions within the US....
Would that mean from state to state? Or county to county? Or city to city?
Or ultimately complete lockdown within your home?
Strange days.............

It's about slowing the spread, so that the health care system isn't overwhelmed. That way, fewer people die. I saw someone on CNBC yesterday talk about it being better for the market if we just let it happen, let it have a V-shaped peak as then it will be over sooner, and probably the same number of people will ultimately get it anyway; which is what I think what you are saying.

You're absolutely right.

BUT, if you don't try to slow it down, you'll have hospitals overwhelmed, more people being turned away, not enough respirators to accommodate everyone, and get a major culling of the population. That isn't acceptable and it made me a bit angry seeing this idiot championing 'just let it happen', probably because he himself wasn't in the most 'at risk' category, and was more worried about his portfolio.

Trust me I tried and was denied. Blamed it on the promoter. Kept asking to speak to their boss until I got as far up as I could. Said NO refund and a policy changed a few days ago.

Just called them again and read the blog Only shows that will be refunded are ones that are cancelled. NO refunds given for any shows postponed or rescheduled. However the lady did say that is as of right now because of the circumstances and could possibly change. Check back in a few weeks

They will refund for postponed shows if the new date does not fit you. A lot of new dates have not been revealed yet and that is why they act like that

jumpontopofmebaby...maybe wait a few days to see how things shake out.

In the alternative, you could try to sell in the secondary market through ticketmaster, or Craigslist/Kijiji

Italy was definitely slow to react, but it appears that the US is acting in much the same way, if not worse. It is going to get really ugly unfortunately in the next 8-10 weeks.
