I see on Ticketmaster [SOTE] that only “adult” tickets are available for this event.
So we have to pay £24.75 for our 9 year old son to attend, even with our local residents discount?
For an open air gig that starts at 6pm that’s rubbish….
But not quite as bad as charging £2.75 ON TOP of the £2.25 booking fee per ticket, just to post them to me. Oh, and there isn’t the option of collecting them yourself.
Otherwise why are they allowed to get away with this blatant monopoly?

It was the same last year when it was “The Serpentine Sessions” – I saw Tindersticks there and got charged over the odds for a pretty underwhelming experience, discovering half the people there were freeloading anyway.
So I think I’ll give it a miss this year…
