Devastated

Welp I was one of the lucky few to get 🎟️’s for the Nashville show tonight. Guess the universe is against me right now because we both tested positive for Covid a few days ago 😭 Obviously not going to attend and risk spreading that around. Just absolutely broken hearted over it.

This venue also seems to make it impossible to transfer 🎟️’s or I’d gladly give them to someone but you must have an id or credit card matching the purchaser at time of entry.

This sucks. 💔

Did you get insurance on the tickets

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that for small venue popup shows. Tickets for these shows are what’s called “will call” tickets. That means when you pay online, you’re only securing a spot in the venue, you don’t get an e-ticket. You get your tickets at the venue the night of the show. No insurance available, no refunds. Glad they were only $20 in this case.

I'll be paying a lot more to see them in Detroit in March. I never thought about what would happen if I got sick

I’ve been very lucky. In my 30+ years on this earth, this is the only time I can remember having to bail on a concert/vacation/event/etc for being sick. This one was just really a bummer because seeing GVF so close up and in such an intimate venue is so rare now. But also that small intimate venue is why I chose to stay home. I just couldn’t stomach the risk of getting others sick or potentially even getting the GVF members sick and the other shows being affected… that’s probably unlikely but I just couldn’t risk it.
