UK Travel Insurance - Cover for Cancelled Concerts

katiesam

Hi,

I'm due to travel across the UK for 4 concerts this summer (the first at the end of May) and all my travel arrangements have already been made - hotels and travel all booked and paid for.

Normally, I wouldn't have given travel insurance a second thought for the UK but now that swine flu has hit the headlines, I'm thinking it might be a good idea to get some.

I'm looking for an annual policy but where would I look to find one that would cover hotels, travel AND concert tickets in the event that the concert was cancelled or the government advised against UK travel and/or "mass gatherings"?

If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful. As my first concert is at the end of this month, I'd like to get something sorted as soon as possible. (And I'm a member of quidco if any of the insurers on there would be good for me!)

Many thanks in advance, Katiesam

Most policies specify that UK holidays must involve 2 nights prebooked accomadation.

They normally do not cover the cost of the concert tickets.

Be aware that not all policies cover you for cancelling due to swine flu.

3 of my concerts do involve a couple of nights away in a hotel so that'd be OK.

Are there any insurance policies that DO cover concerts?

Sorry to bump my thread but there have been so many others since I last posted, that this seems to have slipped down quite quickly!

Is anyone able to advise me?
