Personally I think the so called "second class" season ticket is fantastic value. I went to a workshop every morning where I received superlative instruction and then had access to a variety of concerts in the afternoons and evenings where I had the opportunity to see all the performers I wanted to see. OK, I missed out on some headliners at the Ham but I prefer to see people in smaller venues. I did go to a couple of afternoon events at the Ham marquee and was very disappointed, especially with one particular performer I had wanted to see for a long long time, but when I heard that same performer at the Manor Park Pavilion unamplified and without a backing band I was very impressed. In fact Manor Park has to be my favourite venue - good acoustics and comfy seats.
