"Well lets see ..... remove all the dog owners from festivals and you increase your ticket price. I class low(sic)ticket prices as an advantage, also the friendliness of the responsible dog owning fraternity!"

I do not believe that you can support that statement. Very few of us who have dogs take them to festivals, for a wide variety of reasons. Can any Festival organiser here tell us that they take into account the effect of dog owners on their festival?

Out of interest, what do any of the "can't be parted from my dog brigade" do if they want to go on a foreign holiday?
