Dear Sir/Madam
I have been made aware that a certain proportion of the Jersey Live ticket cost had to be spent on policing by Jersey Police.
The festival was very enjoyable and well run, and undoubtedly a very safe event.
However I would make the following points ;
Several friends of mine (aged 30-35) came over from England especially for the festival, some of whom had never come here and would never think that there was anything for them in Jersey without it. Needless to say they will all be back sooner than next Jersey Live
It was however noted that 45 pounds was a lot for one day, a certain proportion of this the JerseyLive organisers say is due to the extra policing costs.
This is not the case for Battle of Flowers I understand, which though good fun and very popular, hardly brings new younger visitors to the island nor increase its visibility.
There was already a large contingent of security guards ; there felt that there were actually spare security/police staff there for the size of festival and peaceful atmosphere.
Thank you for your time.
Kind Regards
Dan Hare
