Dear Sir / Madam
I beleive that the extra charge that was put onto the ticket price to pay for policing was totaly unfair.
Could you tell me if this charge was put onto the ticket price for the Battle Of The Flowers (which I was a steward on), also it did not apply to the Airshow, as there was no charge to the public (fantastic event)
Another thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was the fact that I read about the policing charge in the JEP on the Saturday of Jersey Live, if there had been information telling me an extra £15 a ticket was being charged to me for policing the event prior to applying for tickets, I think it would have made me think again about purchasing tickets for the event.
I enjoyed some parts of the two days, but when I was looking around the event, I noticed the police that had been brought over for the event were not exactly overworked, by this I mean they were walking around in little groups having in my opinion, a "nice little jolly", and to think I was contributing to this.
I thought at the time of purchasing my ticket for the two days that the price was very expensive for the quality of the line up, but it came out eventually what contributed to this, another Jersey rip off in my opinion, but this is what I have come to expect over here.
Once Bitten Twice Shy, true of Jersey Live this year, not again for me if I have to pay a policing charge, congratulations to the organisers for putting an event of this type on, shame on the States for making the public pay more than they should for it, or is it just another taxation charge.
Yours sincerely M Wears
