When (and if) it is not cancelled, James says, he'll roll his ticket to next year "it's the least we can do to support The Festival ".

refund or rollover?

Depending on who you bought a festival ticket, fans are likely to be entitled to terminate it - and many people in the UK have already claimed Back The Money .

But, many festival organisers in the UK have the hope that people, the tickets remain for next year's events, type in "survival mode", according to The Association of Independent Festivals (AIF).

The AIF, representing More Than 60 events, says, lose many of its members face to large amounts of money, if you announce a postponement or cancellation was due to the coronavirus.

In the worst-case scenario, it is feared, some of the smaller festivals go, if you pay Back end up with thousands of pounds in refunds.

"need, When you for reimbursement to the mass that you may not be able to again next year", - said in a statement.

If the fans a refund, the individual festivals want to you should instruct How To (depending on where you bought The Ticket ).

According to Citizens Advice , if you no longer want to participate, but The Festival has not yet cancelled, but you are Not Entitled to a refund.

Some of the AIF festivals represented, which is yet to take place this year:

'cash flow concern"

"the Staging of festivals throughout the year effort," the AIF's chief executive, Paul Reed .

"There is a cash flow concern and a lot of money have already been spent to get festivals Back . "

usually, at this point of the year, festivals of all sizes that already have paid on things such as artist deposits, foreign companies, deposits and fees, press and marketing, costs for personnel and infrastructure.

The AIF says the insurance, possible refunds, and the flat-lining ticket sales are all issues that the organizers are currently handling, how do you decide what to do.

We expect these two might want to return to Deer Shed Festival, a smaller, family-focused event, scheduled for next year

Oliver Jones , director of the Deer Shed Festival in North Yorkshire , says the "most important thing" for him that people "roll their tickets forward", after the event this year had to cancel.

"The Number of people who have a refund of your tickets have a financial impact on this. We Are resigned to the fact that We Are going to lose money this year," he says.

Since the cancellation, the proportion of people who had a refund on deer shed low, and Oliver feeling is currently "more optimistic than since the coronavirus cast a shadow over us."

"We could be ruined'

Bloodstock in Derbyshire is due to celebrate their 20th anniversary this summer. It has not been canceled, but the Director told Newsbeat it is "devastating", if this has to happen.

The co-founder of the arctangent in Bristol, Goc, O'callaghan, says he's concerned a business that took years to grow, "could be destroyed in a matter of weeks, unless the government steps in and offers support. "

Isabel knight (in The Mac on The Right ) says: "The Feeling of a festival, what we need, After All this'. "A festival is my summer vacation"

showed almost 5 million people went to a festival (in 2018) and helped the live-sector, contributing £1. 1 billion for the British economy.

Isabel knight, 24, says, your trip to 2000 trees in Gloucestershire, is the "highlight of the summer" and "annual leave".

Currently, The Festival is to take place, but Isabel says it's "silly" to assume it will happen and is likely to be to the advantage of the rollover option.

"It's all paid for already. I have the monthly installments, as the tickets went on sale Last Year . The Money is Already Gone from my account, so I can wait there for the next year now," she tells Newsbeat.

AIF-in-chief, Paul Reed says many independent festivals struggling, because your insurance covers, not a communicable disease like Covid-19 and it is a feeling that you are falling "between the cracks in terms of support from the government. "

In a statement, the government says, it will come Back "great British festivals and runs as fast as it is safe to do so," but the emphasis now is that people stay At Home .

to Respond to the AIF relates, it says that it is "committed" to support festivals during the outbreak.

"This one provides unparalleled support package for businesses and workers. We Are also in regular contact with the creative industries, during this unprecedented time. "
