What a well-argued post from alan J and what a silly post from loony Lizzie cheering at the news that people are NOT coming to Sidmouth.

Lizzie dear gal, why do get such a perverse delight from seeing people leave Sidmouth? Surely you should be trying to bring them to Sidmouth?

I too think the cost of a season ticket for the Ham marquee is ridiculously expensive at £135.

As others have pointed out, last year's week-long season ticket at £160 got you into everything, not just one venue.

I fear this is just another example of the lack of co-ordinated planning for this year's Folk Week.

Each individual promoter is only concerned with his or her own interests and to hell with the rest of the festival (whoops, Folk Week).

As I've said so many times before, some of us Sidmouth residents want to see a proper festival back in our town.

We're not all like Lizzie only wanting a handful of pub sessions and small-scale dance displays on the prom or in obscure church halls on the outskirts of town.
