麻豆约拍

Presenter Winifred Robinson talks to the founder of Twickets, Richard Davies, on how he spotted a gap in the market for a company which re-sells tickets for major events...but in an ethical way.

Richard now works in partnerships with around 500 artists, management companies and sporting events, including Adele, Ed Sheeran, Foo Fighters and Sam Fender.

Twickets promises tickets sold at, or below, their original price. It's a topical subject in a week which has seen controversy over the huge hike in the price of tickets to see comedian Peter Kay. Tickets for his shows started at 拢35, but are now being sold on some secondary ticket sites for more than 拢1,000.

Richard Davies talks about his mission to offer fans a better deal when it comes to finding tickets for their favourite shows. He also reveals how his student nights out at the Hacienda nightclub in Manchester inspired him to ditch science to join the music industry - and his sometimes surreal experiences working with Spinal Tap.

We also hear from a man who has watched Richard's back over the years - Harry Magee, co-founder of the talent management company Modest! His clients have included One Direction, plus Olly Muirs, Little Mix and Alison Moyet.
