Why Personalised Tickets Aren’t the Perfect Answer…

Touts can’t re-sell tickets for eye-watering sums when they’re stamped with your name and photo, but a recent survey discovered that almost 75% of us aren’t willing to buy personalised tickets… Not all secondary resale sites are evil, you understand, but many are run by touts – who hoover up as many tickets for gigs, festivals and sports events as possible using automated bots, only to put them back on sale minutes later with...

CarFest North with Ford

Thanks to the gorgeous Lindy at SquidgyBoo and her family who took on the tough role of trying out the new Ford S Max for me – here’s what they all thought of their first CarFest… Festivals are a uniquely English thing and one I never really understood.
