Me.. trying to recover my daughter's ticket account using @safc.com new ticketing system. Whatever I enter... 'user already exists'. I'm pretty sure the error is you *must* accept marketing to be sent, but don't have to have options. Did someone test this.. or just 'straight to prod'?

Thomas Jackson I wrote a few words about Summer Streets Festival, which took place in Sunderland this past weekend. It was another superb event, and Ross and the team can be rightly proud of this one.

Tom Jackson’s review of Summer Streets
β€œIt isn’t flashy, & it doesn’t try to be.
What it offers is something harder to find: a free, well-run festival that puts local talent first & creates space for people of all ages to enjoy music in a relaxed, welcoming setting”
