Concert halls: we cannot do anything with this Entertainment

entertainment">Concert halls could receive visitors again from 1 June. Initially a maximum of 30 people and from July 1, if circumstances permit, 100 visitors.

entertainment">“Of course we can do nothing with that,” says spokesman Willem Westermann On BuzzE. “Only the smallest room might do something. And that is nice for hobby, but absolutely no trade. Larger halls only lose with so few visitors. ”

entertainment">Asking concertgoers much more money for a ticket is also not an option, says Westermann. “Moreover: you also come for the experience and with 50, 60 or 70 people I don’t see that happening yet.”

entertainment">VVEM represents about a hundred companies that organize and facilitate events, including the Ziggo Dome, AFAS Live, GelreDome and Rotterdam Ahoy. According to the association, it is extremely important that a second package of support measures will be introduced, plus an extra emergency fund. “Our industry is hit hardest. We can only start again last. That money is therefore urgently needed. ”

entertainment">It is unclear when it is possible to restart. All events have been canceled until September 1. VVEM previously announced that it is gloomy about the next events, concerts and festivals.
