That’s entertainment

I spotted an ad in The Times – quite a large one – for tickets to the Last Night of the Proms

I do not remember seeing one of these before, but then I would not have been looking. And both the newspaper & their advertisers may be pleased to know that I notice the ads much more since the new layout. Always, before, & the same applies to nearly all publications, I could just remain completely oblivious to non-editorial content

£795 for a stalls seat or £995 for front row

I cannot help but feel that, at that price, it is not the music one is paying for, but the opportunity to watch the proles on the promenade
