Missing from the list of nominations in the various awards is the category for Most Outrageous Spin, the possible contenders over the year most be enormous, including the following quote from Viagogo, who have just announced a tie up with Really Useful to sell "premium tickets" to theatres, concerts, and sporting events from the box offices of RUT with a 10% "service" charge which "will, without question, lower the ultimate cost for tickets for consumers by providing a seamless solution to a safe and secure alternative for the industry and fans to distributing tickets directly".

Great news! So now I can buy a ticket for The Sound of Music £55 ( http://www.soundofmusiclondon.com/tickets.php ) from Viagogo for £64 ( https://www.viagogo.co.uk/secure/pipeline/b...&Quantity=1 ) PLUS a Fees, Handling and VAT charge of £11-28 AND an additional charge calculated on the next page depending on delivery method, giving a total in excess of £75-28 per ticket. It is excellent news that I can avail myself of this facility direct from the Palladium box office !

What fools these mortals be who trundle off to the TKTS booth to obtain stalls seats for a mere £30 (including fees)
