Green Day/Fall Out Boy/Weezer 2020 tour Tour • Page 50

Going to Boston tomorrow and I’m pretty gutted about FOB, to be honest. Especially given how damn expensive these tickets were.

 

Surprised that they don't try to reschedule if one of your 3 big acts can't play. If Green Day couldn't play would they still move ahead?

 

Yeah if it's only Mega then it's not Hella Mega anymore, reschedule

 

Pretty gutted about FOB. Still stoked for tomorrow since I’ve never seen Green Day but yeah. This stings a bit!

 

The fact that they aren’t offering refunds (at least not yet) makes me think they’re teetering on just canceling pending reaction. I have like, hours left before my hotel is locked in for tomorrow. This sucks.

 

I’d bank on this still going ahead. Probably doing more tests this morning to check.

 

Damn this really sucks. But now that it's just Weezer/GD, I hope that they push the start time a bit so I don't have to rush straight from work.

Also, would be nice if ticket holders are offered some discount/incentive for FOBs next tour. $120 for nosebleed was only justified because I was seeing 3 headliners.

 

Yeah, to be honest, as much as I’m still looking forward to Green Day and Weezer, I would not have paid this tour’s prices for just them. They should really be offering some sort of partial refund.

 

Hard to tell. Green Day is the pretty clear headliner-headliner/biggest draw. So they might cancel if it were Green Day.

But they could also just offer refunds, incentivize those who keep their ticket by promising seat upgrades upon arrival and getting the remaining bands to play extended sets.

Hard to tell how they'd deal with it on such short notice.

Pushing the start time and extending both Green Day and Weezer's sets a little bit would be nice. I'm not a huge FOB fan, but was looking forward to seeing them... And paying the prices I did for a show that is roughly 1/3 less than it would be otherwise just feels kinda lame. Hah.

Agreed too on the discounts for the next upcoming FOB tour.

 

Yeah if I was going to one of those dates, I’d be furious. It seems to me they should’ve offered a refund of some sort to attendees

 

On a broader note, the way things are trending for live shows in general is NOT looking good after all the events of this past week.

 

According to somebody on Reddit who supposedly called CitiField: Weezer will be going from 7:20-8:20 tonight with Green Day playing from 9-10:30.

So it looks like they'll be keeping the set lengths the same, starting a bit later, and extending the time between bands a bit.

Based on that, I would assume the Interrupters go on at 6 or 6:30, maybe?

 

According to someone on Reddit who called the box office, Doors are the same time. Weezer is 7:20-8:20 & Green Day is 9-10:30. Imagine GD will play til 11 but MAN having 1/3 of this show removed is brutal. Wonder if The Interrupters still go on at 5:30.

 

Sorry for the double post. I'd assume Interrupters at 6:30.

 

I would have hoped for longer sets, and I wouldnt expect anything from ticketmaster. They are right up there for hatred, along with Comcast/Verizon.

Id be upset if I were going.

Maybe ticket prices drop on stubhub now...

 

God that BLOWS

 

Ticketmaster has nothing to do with if an event can offer refunds or not. Totally up to the act/management.

 

This is sort of unacceptable, honestly. FOB aren’t exactly a standard “opener” or support act. There should absolutely be partial refunds, or cancellations if people want them. Especially given that the remaining bands aren’t playing longer sets. This is a terrible look.

In many cases, people sat on these tickets for over a year and let them hold onto their money during a pandemic, only to pull this. Shit happens and I understand that they need to be safe, but they need to make it right to the fans, too.

 

Very curious what the next few hours will bring, but I'm definitely irked that the schedule shift was clearly a pre-planned backup for this tour. I didn't pay for my pass to Citi tonight so I'm fine, but I can absolutely imagine the whole crowd being kinda sour if they don't postpone or finagle something special.

 

They already have stopped. I don’t think Pete is going into the crowd anymore either

 

It’s honestly too soon to understand what the impact of the last week has been. We won’t know Lolla’s true impact for several weeks.

I think most of you are still continuing to confuse the reasons why things shut down in 2020. It was because of hospitalizations and deaths. Even with vaxxed people testing positive, and cases on the rise, those things don’t equal automatic shutdowns and cancellations. I do not believe we are at that place yet.

 

I would be very surprised if they don’t end up offering refunds for these shows.

 

I'm extremely worried about my date now. It's not until a few weeks but I'm praying something like this doesn't happen

 

I don't think anyone has necessarily forgotten the "flatten the curve" motivation for the 2020 shutdowns. The conversation in this thread has been mostly about tours and venues figuring out what's safe and tolerable, and it won't be at all surprising if live entertainment experiences a near-shutdown while the rest of the economy keeps moving along.

 

This. It would actually be nice to under stand the breakdown of people who test positive and are vaxxed versus not vaxxed. If there are 100 new cases and 50% of them are vaccinated, that is going to have a significant effect on the overall impact. And at the moment, the vast majority (i.e., nearly all) of hospitalizations are in people who are unvaccinated.

Cases can rise, but it's the hospitalizations that we need to watch out for in terms of shut-downs, cancellations, etc. On a macro-level, anyway.
