I have no problem at all with the Festival, Stu. I have been going to Fylde for at least 30 years and, as a fellow festival organiser on a much smaller scale for 25 of those, I can honestly say it is one of the best in the world!

The only issue I had was that to camp I had to pay £50-odd pounds for a ticket I will probably not use, £10 for the camp site and £1 booking fee! There seems to be no alternative apart from B&B which would be just as dear and I would have no chance of booking at short notice. It does not exactly lend itself to someone who just wants to camp, cannot say if they can go until the last minute or, worst of all, cannot afford a weekend ticket:-( Glad to say I am not in the latter group:-)

But, like I said, it hasn't become one of the most sucessful festivals going by worrying about who can afford to go! And, again like both Basil Fawlty and I have said before, it keeps the riff-raff away:-)

Cheers

Dave
