BRISBANE — Australia’s live entertainment sector has presented the federal government with a list of urgent, targeted measures which are pitched as a lifeline for businesses reeling from the “devastating impact” of lockdowns and restrictions.
The cost of the novel coronavirus is disastrous for those who work in the industry, according to preliminary findings fromIn 2019, the sector supported 122,000 full-time equivalent jobs. If restrictions on gatherings remain until the end of this year, however, that figure is forecast to plummet by two-thirds to just 43,000 full-time equivalent jobs, a loss of almost 80,00 jobs.
Until the live circuit returns to normal and without the constraints of major restrictions, it’s an unsustainable situation, promoters and venue operators say. And without those “necessary conditions,” explains LEIF chair James Sutherland, “the outlook is truly bleak.” “More than 80% of people have held onto tickets for postponed shows during COVID,” notes Jones, whose company is parent to Ticketek, TEG Dainty and other live businesses. “Australians have cabin fever - they want to entertain themselves, get the kids out of the house, and have a concert, exhibition or live experience to put on the kitchen calendar - for this year or next - and look forward to after such an awful 2020.
