Daily Express fighting for the rights of our elderly

ARE MUSIC FESTIVAL TICKETS TOO EXPENSIVE?

THERE’S nothing glamorous and exciting about shin-deep mud and relentless, hammering rain, even if The Rolling Stones are headlining (“The ultimate 2018 festival guide”, May 7).

I’ve been stuck in a corner of a field in the middle of nowhere as the weather closes in more times than I care to remember.

And all of a sudden, as you’re chilled to the marrow and your sodden tent has been smashed to bits by some drunken idiot falling on it, the £200 ticket price seems very expensive indeed. I’d rather watch it on TV. Eddie Parker,

Lincoln ONCE again the Daily Express leads the way in campaigning for tougher sentences to be handed down to those wicked carers who continue to rob the elderly of their life savings and in most cases are only given a soft sentence (“Cruelty by carers should be classed as a hate crime”, May 4).

If the Government made this despicable act a hate crime perhaps the judges could hand down the sort of punishment these odious creatures deserve.

John Hearn, Rainham, Kent FESTIVALS are a great way to see a load of bands and I’ve always found them to be such great value for money.

Even if you don’t fancy roughing it in a tent surrounded by noisy teenagers shouting and screaming their heads off until dawn, day tickets are often around the same price as one-off arena gigs by a major artist.

And it’s not just the music that draws the massive crowds at these wonderful events.

The whole experience is so good that you could have a great time without even seeing a band. James Butler,
