Despite the crown schedules, it was not difficult to ask the public when tickets for the concert with Post Malone in Bergen in June were released on Monday.

Two hours later, 11,000 of the 22,000 tickets were ripped off.

On Tuesday, the show has exceeded 16,000 entries.

– Says something about people who believe in a future without coronary restrictions, says the daily leader on Bergen Live.

With a difficult cultural year behind her, the organizer advocates collecting and serving alcohol to thousands of spectators this summer.

– We depend on planning for the future. If we only had to plan until the next regulation ends, we could leave them all. I think everyone understands that, Nes tells NRK.

It focuses on vaccines and rapid tests.

– The biggest risk we run is getting out of bed in the morning and going out into the world. We can’t just sit back and wait until everything is secure, before we start planning concerts and other things, he continued.

He notes that six months is a long time in this context, and he believes there has been a clear signal from the governments of both Norway and other countries that next summer will be more normal.

Especially cattle and hay for rapid tests, he thinks they will allow the concert to be held.

– We don’t feel like we’re risking too much. We have conducted an evaluation based on the knowledge we have, and not least that we are confident that we will be able to create a safe event for the public, says Nes.

The government doubts

The Ministry of Culture is positive about planning and implementing events, but believes it is difficult to see the summer of 2021 being completely normal.

– Bergen Live must consider themselves whether they will risk planning such a big event, says Secretary of State Gunhild Berge Stang (V) to BT, who mentioned the case for the first time.

Bergen City Council Katrine Nødtvedt (MDG) is not sure how far it will be possible with the big concert, but will work to make it possible, BT writes.

Low infection pressure and sufficient vaccination, or rapid tests that work well enough, are the prerequisites, she says.

First come first served

The organizer admits that there are special circumstances, but is very satisfied with the box office so far.

– There is nothing that makes us happier as organizers than the public is looking forward to better times and looking forward to going to a concert, he says.

– What do you do if you have to drastically cut the number of audience members? Will it reduce on a first come, first serve basis?

– It is at least the practice that has been established, and it is not unnatural for it to happen. But if it’s 200 or 22,000, it’s not a problem to create a safe environment for the public, if we’re allowed to fix it, says Nes.

Must serve alcohol

Confirm that the plan is to serve alcohol during the concert.

– But we will not try to stretch the limits more than what we are entitled to in the contract that we naturally must have with the government, says the daily leader.

Bergen Live has plans to organize several major concerts next year.

– More nice names are coming to Bergen during 2021, I promise, says Nes.
