As people attending the concerts are strictly prohibited from taking their own food and drink into the site, the local off licences and food shops would be foolish to overstock.

I wonder if figures will be released detailing the number of TDC residents who obtained tickets versus people from outside the area? Council tax payers could then decide for themselves if this was money well spent, or not.

That was a pointless exercise by Trading Standards as no law was broken.
