Be in the audience

Do I detect straitened times at Radio 5 Live ?  A tweet from Controller Adrian Van Klaveren exhorts us to buy tickets for "our biggest outside broadcast" (presumably excluding the Olympics or FA Cup Final) - an edition of Fighting Talk at 10.00am on 26 May at the Britannia Stadium, Stoke. Tickets are £10 each from SeeTickets - and there's also a charge of £1.50 "per transaction" - as per the BBC's terms and conditions. They ask you not to bring barbecues or flaming torches.

Last year's "big" Fighting Talk show was at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool, and tickets were free. The vast majority of shows on other BBC stations offer free tickets.
