The grass is greener
Covid has only intensified our love of mud and cider-fuelled sing-alongs. The traditional scramble for festival tickets remains in rude health and, as the endless WhatsApp groups smugly attest — for your own sake, mute them, mute them all — most of the big names have long sold out, even with line-ups yet to be confirmed. Fortunately, even in a year with nothing on there are still those who have double-booked themselves and spare tickets are popping up. Ticketmaster, SeeTickets and Eventim all offer official fan-to-fan re-sales, with ticket prices capped at face value to scupper scalpers. The Leeds dream lives on.
