The 2024 tour marks 30 years of performing for the artist, who will release his ninth studio album, \u003ci>COMING HOME\u003c/i>, on Feb. 9. Days later, he’ll perform the halftime show at the 58th Super Bowl (go Niners!). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you’re on the fence about this one, you’ll have 12 to 14 minutes of Usher performing in an arena to help you decide about a longer show — and a heftier price tag. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Good luck to all the ticket seekers; find \u003ca href=\"https://www.livenation.com/artist/K8vZ9171bMV/usher-events\">more information on how to get them here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The 2024 tour marks 30 years of performing for the artist, who will release his ninth studio album, \u003ci>COMING HOME\u003c/i>, on Feb. 9. Days later, he’ll perform the halftime show at the 58th Super Bowl (go Niners!). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if you’re on the fence about this one, you’ll have 12 to 14 minutes of Usher performing in an arena to help you decide about a longer show — and a heftier price tag. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Good luck to all the ticket seekers; find \u003ca href=\"https://www.livenation.com/artist/K8vZ9171bMV/usher-events\">more information on how to get them here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Medical information in the United States is currently protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, which prevents healthcare providers from disclosing sensitive patient information without the patient’s consent. But \u003ca href=\"https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vaccine-passports-complicated-united-states-145810837.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">HIPAA does not apply to private businesses\u003c/a> like performance venues—so there’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.fordhamiplj.org/2020/11/12/the-legality-of-coronavirus-immunity-passports-and-related-concerns/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">currently no law\u003c/a> preventing such entities from verifying someone’s vaccination status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, charges of discrimination might likely hold more water. \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2021/02/11/covid19-vaccination-rates-follow-the-money-in-states-with-biggest-wealth-gaps/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Disparities in vaccination rates\u003c/a> suggest that wealthy, white Americans are getting inoculated before lower-income citizens and people of color.

She’s proud of the community that has sprung up around the theater’s online arm, MarshStream, but it’s no substitute for the genuine article: “How does a performer relate to an audience through a digital stream, when it’s so much about any performer’s relationship to seeing people and seeing their reactions?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-13894369\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice.jpg 1255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Thomas, a co-executive director of San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://42ndstmoon.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">42nd Street Moon\u003c/a>, envisions a balanced approach to restoring this intimacy. “We can’t demand or require that they show us proof of vaccination, but we can ask that they provide that if they’re comfortable with it,” says Thomas, citing additional supplementary safety measures such as masks, temperature checks, contact tracing information and fewer performances to allow time for cleaning. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any such proposal, of course, will have to be scrapped if the state mandates that theaters verify vaccinations at the door, an uncertainty that’s kindling frustration as companies attempt to plan their very tentative fall seasons. “The regulations for live theater have always been kind of an afterthought,” says Thomas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our state is being very specific about where we fall,” echoes \u003ca href=\"https://www.marintheatre.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Marin Theatre Company\u003c/a> artistic director Jasson Minadakis. “If that changes, then we’re going to have to start thinking about those moral questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minadakis acknowledges the “waiting game” of trying to forecast state guidelines when live theater—which typically packs people together indoors for the length of a few acts and an intermission—will be last in the reopening line.

Medical information in the United States is currently protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, which prevents healthcare providers from disclosing sensitive patient information without the patient’s consent. But \u003ca href=\"https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vaccine-passports-complicated-united-states-145810837.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">HIPAA does not apply to private businesses\u003c/a> like performance venues—so there’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.fordhamiplj.org/2020/11/12/the-legality-of-coronavirus-immunity-passports-and-related-concerns/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">currently no law\u003c/a> preventing such entities from verifying someone’s vaccination status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, charges of discrimination might likely hold more water. \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2021/02/11/covid19-vaccination-rates-follow-the-money-in-states-with-biggest-wealth-gaps/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Disparities in vaccination rates\u003c/a> suggest that wealthy, white Americans are getting inoculated before lower-income citizens and people of color.

She’s proud of the community that has sprung up around the theater’s online arm, MarshStream, but it’s no substitute for the genuine article: “How does a performer relate to an audience through a digital stream, when it’s so much about any performer’s relationship to seeing people and seeing their reactions?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-13894369\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/03/boxoffice.jpg 1255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Thomas, a co-executive director of San Francisco’s \u003ca href=\"https://42ndstmoon.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">42nd Street Moon\u003c/a>, envisions a balanced approach to restoring this intimacy. “We can’t demand or require that they show us proof of vaccination, but we can ask that they provide that if they’re comfortable with it,” says Thomas, citing additional supplementary safety measures such as masks, temperature checks, contact tracing information and fewer performances to allow time for cleaning. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any such proposal, of course, will have to be scrapped if the state mandates that theaters verify vaccinations at the door, an uncertainty that’s kindling frustration as companies attempt to plan their very tentative fall seasons. “The regulations for live theater have always been kind of an afterthought,” says Thomas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our state is being very specific about where we fall,” echoes \u003ca href=\"https://www.marintheatre.org/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Marin Theatre Company\u003c/a> artistic director Jasson Minadakis. “If that changes, then we’re going to have to start thinking about those moral questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minadakis acknowledges the “waiting game” of trying to forecast state guidelines when live theater—which typically packs people together indoors for the length of a few acts and an intermission—will be last in the reopening line.

"content": "\u003cp>The coronavirus pandemic has completely shut down the business of concerts and other live events. Some people, including Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti, are even predicting that live events won’t \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2020/04/15/garcetti-sporting-events-concerts-unlikely-in-los-angeles-until-2021-1276698\">resume until next year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That leaves ticket holders looking for refunds, but new rules Ticketmaster \u003ca href=\"https://blog.ticketmaster.com/guidelines-canceled-postponed-events/\">announced last week\u003c/a> stipulate that a show has to be either officially canceled or have new dates announced in order for the purchaser to be eligible for refunds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cachelle Cronin, a mental health therapist in Vancouver, Wash., says that before the coronavirus pandemic, she bought tickets for six events through Ticketmaster. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve got tickets to Russ, Halsey, [Green Day, Weezer and Fallout Boy’s] Hella Mega Tour, Journey with the Pretenders,” she lists off the top of her head. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since none of those shows have been canceled or rescheduled, she’s ineligible for a refund. And Cronin bought pairs of tickets to each concert, which means she’s out nearly $1000. She says she’s thankful she’s still employed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I cannot even imagine what somebody would be going through right now if they had $1000 in tickets sitting there that they know they’re not gonna be able to use, and they’re stressing about being able to pay rent, or buy their kids food, or anything like that,” she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The live event economy is a complicated one, and it’s been a struggle for ticket buyers to get their money back because they aren’t Ticketmaster’s primary concern, says Dean Budnick who, along with Josh Baron, is the author of the book \u003cem>Ticket Masters: The Rise of the Concert Industry and How the Public Got Scalped\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ticketmaster really, ultimately, is responsible to its venue clients and those are the individuals it wants to protect,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, its primary business relationships are with concert promoters, stadiums and arenas — not ticket buyers. Before last week, Ticketmaster’s website \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/arts/music/ticketmaster-refunds-coronavirus.html\">seemed to back off of refunds\u003c/a> for postponed events entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ensuing media coverage caught the attention of two members of Congress. Democratic Representatives Katie Porter from California and Bill Pascrell from New Jersey \u003ca href=\"https://pascrell.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4260\">wrote a scathing letter\u003c/a> encouraging the ticket seller to reconsider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We fully expect the availability of refunds to continue to climb over the next 4-6 weeks and ultimately expect all our clients will make refunds available,” Ticketmaster said in a statement to NPR, adding that it has already returned $400 million to fans so far. But Ticketmaster, along with \u003ca href=\"https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/touring/9359919/aeg-ticket-refunds-concerts-coronavirus\">rival company AEG\u003c/a> — \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/17/arts/music/live-nation-refunds-virus.html\">announced new refund policies\u003c/a> last week, which still require a concert to be canceled or officially rescheduled with new dates to trigger a refund. Those policies don’t go into effect until May 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dean Budnick says Live Nation and AEG simply don’t have the money to give back. “Because contractually, they’ve released that money to concert promoters, to event producers who put on those events,” he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budnick says with smaller, club level shows, those funds are usually held in escrow, so they’re easier to access. But for big shows at stadiums, ticket purchasers’ money is already in the hands of venues and artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now you may say, ‘Well gee, that is Ticketmaster’s fault because that’s their contract that they entered into,’ ” he points out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budnick says over the past few decades, artists have gotten a larger share of ticket sales to make up for declining record sales. That’s led to higher ticket prices and more service fees to be shared among the venues and promoters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keith Jopling, a consulting director for the media analysis firm MIDiA Research, says that in a post-shutdown world, the deals between all parties in the ecosystem are likely to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone on that value chain will be expected to take a hit on that, including artists,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But right now, it’s out-of-work stage hands, food vendors, security guards and ticket holders who are feeling the pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crystal Reilly, a teacher from Michigan, bought Red Wings hockey tickets as a gift for her dad. The game was set to take place last month and she still can’t get a refund. With schools closed for the foreseeable future, Reilly says getting that money back is important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not working right now. I won’t work until September, so having that extra 230 bucks would be really awesome,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some customers, including Reilly and Cachelle Cronin, are part of a group exploring a class action suit. It’s just \u003ca href=\"https://www.classaction.org/blog/class-action-against-ticketmaster-live-nation-seeks-refunds-for-rescheduled-events\">one such complaint\u003c/a> going through the courts now. Elsewhere, others have reached out to their credit card companies to try to get their money back. But either way, they’ll be waiting for a while. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

Some people, including Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti, are even predicting that live events won’t \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2020/04/15/garcetti-sporting-events-concerts-unlikely-in-los-angeles-until-2021-1276698\">resume until next year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That leaves ticket holders looking for refunds, but new rules Ticketmaster \u003ca href=\"https://blog.ticketmaster.com/guidelines-canceled-postponed-events/\">announced last week\u003c/a> stipulate that a show has to be either officially canceled or have new dates announced in order for the purchaser to be eligible for refunds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cachelle Cronin, a mental health therapist in Vancouver, Wash., says that before the coronavirus pandemic, she bought tickets for six events through Ticketmaster. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve got tickets to Russ, Halsey, [Green Day, Weezer and Fallout Boy’s] Hella Mega Tour, Journey with the Pretenders,” she lists off the top of her head. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since none of those shows have been canceled or rescheduled, she’s ineligible for a refund. And Cronin bought pairs of tickets to each concert, which means she’s out nearly $1000. She says she’s thankful she’s still employed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I cannot even imagine what somebody would be going through right now if they had $1000 in tickets sitting there that they know they’re not gonna be able to use, and they’re stressing about being able to pay rent, or buy their kids food, or anything like that,” she says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The live event economy is a complicated one, and it’s been a struggle for ticket buyers to get their money back because they aren’t Ticketmaster’s primary concern, says Dean Budnick who, along with Josh Baron, is the author of the book \u003cem>Ticket Masters: The Rise of the Concert Industry and How the Public Got Scalped\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ticketmaster really, ultimately, is responsible to its venue clients and those are the individuals it wants to protect,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, its primary business relationships are with concert promoters, stadiums and arenas — not ticket buyers. Before last week, Ticketmaster’s website \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/arts/music/ticketmaster-refunds-coronavirus.html\">seemed to back off of refunds\u003c/a> for postponed events entirely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ensuing media coverage caught the attention of two members of Congress. Democratic Representatives Katie Porter from California and Bill Pascrell from New Jersey \u003ca href=\"https://pascrell.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4260\">wrote a scathing letter\u003c/a> encouraging the ticket seller to reconsider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We fully expect the availability of refunds to continue to climb over the next 4-6 weeks and ultimately expect all our clients will make refunds available,” Ticketmaster said in a statement to NPR, adding that it has already returned $400 million to fans so far. But Ticketmaster, along with \u003ca href=\"https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/touring/9359919/aeg-ticket-refunds-concerts-coronavirus\">rival company AEG\u003c/a> — \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/17/arts/music/live-nation-refunds-virus.html\">announced new refund policies\u003c/a> last week, which still require a concert to be canceled or officially rescheduled with new dates to trigger a refund. Those policies don’t go into effect until May 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dean Budnick says Live Nation and AEG simply don’t have the money to give back. “Because contractually, they’ve released that money to concert promoters, to event producers who put on those events,” he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budnick says with smaller, club level shows, those funds are usually held in escrow, so they’re easier to access. But for big shows at stadiums, ticket purchasers’ money is already in the hands of venues and artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now you may say, ‘Well gee, that is Ticketmaster’s fault because that’s their contract that they entered into,’ ” he points out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budnick says over the past few decades, artists have gotten a larger share of ticket sales to make up for declining record sales. That’s led to higher ticket prices and more service fees to be shared among the venues and promoters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keith Jopling, a consulting director for the media analysis firm MIDiA Research, says that in a post-shutdown world, the deals between all parties in the ecosystem are likely to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone on that value chain will be expected to take a hit on that, including artists,” he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But right now, it’s out-of-work stage hands, food vendors, security guards and ticket holders who are feeling the pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
