With Groupon now advertising Grand Departy tickets for £20 each (a 32% discount) there are growing concerns that the “10,000” capacity event could be a major flop.

The event – to be held at the Huntington Stadium on 4th July – always looked to be an afterthought.
It is sadly too typical of a council that has over-extended itself once too often.
They need to come clean about how many tickets have actually been sold?
