We decided a while back that experiences make better presents
than a lot of the cliched stuff you end up buying, particularly for people of a certain age who quite simply don't need more stuff.
Consequently at the weekend we booked tickets for my Mum's and my partner's Auntie's birthdays. Unfortunately this means that I get to spend £28 a ticket watching, not Neil Sedaka, but a musical based on his songs but my girlfriend gets to see Robert Cray at The Liverpool Philharmonic for a bargain £34.
The booking fees for Liverpool were quite reasonable too. The last time we went to the M.E.N. arena they were a bit steep and then they had the temerity to charge a delivery fee (I think it was £2 a ticket)even though we printed our own tickets.
