Cultural and sporting events with a full house again soon?
The organizers in the district are reluctant.
Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen
- Bavaria's Council of Ministers decided on Monday that there will be upper limits, mask requirements and distance requirements for events if the organizers opt for the 2G or 3G Plus rule.
This means that only vaccinated and convalescent people (2G) and those tested with a PCR test (3G Plus) have access.
The organizers can decide for themselves which rule they set up.
The cultural organizers in the district react cautiously.
Everywhere, it can be heard, ticket sales are currently slow.
“People are still very careful,” reports Albert Maly-Motta, who runs the Tölzer Marionette Theater together with Karl-Heinz Bille.
The theater has 99 seats and currently around 30 people attend the performances.
“Most of them value distance and don't want to take off their mask at all,” says Maly-Motta.
The venue will therefore “not be pumped full” due to the new possibilities, according to Bille.
This also applies to the events in the new “Akademie am Schloßplatz” series together with the music school and VHS.
Worry in the cinema
Katha Sohnius from “Kinobetriebe Wolf” finds it difficult to demand a PCR test from those who have been tested in the future. The target group of the Isar-Kinocenter in Tölz are people up to 35 years of age. “There haven't been vaccinations for so long for young people,” says the marketing director. PCR tests are expensive and time-consuming. “If this rule becomes mandatory, we would shut out a large part of our audience.” It is different with an arthouse cinema like the Tölz “Capitol”. “Here we serve a different target group. People are older and mostly vaccinated, ”she says.
Culture organizer Christian Gutmair is still counting on "a mixed autumn of culture".
He already fears that the detection of a PCR test will deter unvaccinated people from attending events.
"On the other hand, we will not be able to avoid stricter rules, otherwise we cannot work safely in the event area," says the Königsdorf resident, who is a regular guest at the Tölzer Kurhaus with his artists.
Gutmair also continues to observe uncertainty among concert-goers.
“Many just still feel uncomfortable when they are in the same room with many people.” Gutmair expects that in the future it will remain with personalization of tickets.
“By the way, this also makes sense to curb the black market,” he says.
"You can't fake PCR tests so quickly"
Sabine Pfister from “KleinKunst und Kultur” (KKK) in Lenggries has a similar view. There are only four events there in autumn, then there is a break until mid-January. From a medical point of view, Pfister thinks 3G Plus makes sense, "but in practice it won't attract more audiences". In the KKK, the 3G rule with a mask requirement during the concert currently applies. Almost a quarter of the visitors currently come with a test, reports Pfister. If a PCR test were to be compulsory, the Lenggries-based woman would generally welcome it: "You can't fake this so quickly."
“A question of money” is the 3G Plus offer for Melanie Tobian.
“There is talk of the PCR tests costing around 70 euros.
But we are not Helene Fischer, where someone sometimes spends 200 euros on a concert, ”says the chairwoman of the Loisachtaler Bauernbühne, which celebrates its premiere on October 15th.
“We are sticking to the old 3G regulation.
That's how we announced it on the posters, ”explains Tobian.
"With 3G Plus, the participants also need a corresponding test - the Bauernbühne cannot afford that."
ECT spokesman relaxed
Sports officials speak differently about the situation: "Of course we have a great interest in the ban on alcohol and the requirement to wear masks being lifted," says Simon Rentel, spokesman for the Tölzer Löwen. However, the club had been in talks with the health department before the new easing was announced. After that, it looks good "that we would get that approved," said Rentel. So far, the 3G rule has been in effect in the RSS arena, which allows those who have been tested with an antigen test to visit the Tölzer Löwen home games. Basically, from the point of view of the association, nothing speaks against the introduction of 3G Plus. Among the visitors, the tested are the absolute minority, says the press spokesman. "That is why only a few spectators would be absent."
