Any news on Labour Live? Jeremy's north London Glastonbury?

News stories seem to indicate it will be an embarrassing half empty fiasco.
That's just right wing press propaganda, JC is wildly popular across the land it's just that the media have betrayed him.

Labour MPs are demanding answers from the party HQ over the coming weekend's political and musical concert dubbed JezFest.

The one-day Labour Live event will take place in Tottenham, north London, on 16 June. Musical acts include The Magic Numbers and Reverend and the Makers, alongside speeches by John McDonnell, Kate Osamor and activist Owen Jones as well as party leader Jeremy Corbyn.

But there are growing concerns that organisers are struggling to fill the 20,000-capacity White Hart Lane Recreation Centre. As a result the Labour party has started giving out free tickets to regional party offices, as well as putting on free buses to bring people into the capital, while Unite the union has bought up 1,000 tickets.

Despite this, attendance figures are being estimated at around 3,000 people, and fears are growing that the concert will be a "big loss-maker".

One Labour MP told City A.M. it was "embarrassing".

I saw that “modified” line up on FB last week.....I’m loving the “Magic Grandpa” and hoping it will stick as a nick name....beats “Old Tosser” by a mile :-)

The Mirror are also giving away 200 tickets.

This did make me smile though, given they have only sold about 2000 tickets....

Mirror article said:
Labour Live will be opening up politics to a wider audience to spread Labour’s message about how we can build a society that works for the many, not the few.
It appears only "the few" will be attending smile

There’ll be a few pissed off people who forked out money from their benefits to buy tickets, only to see them now being given away free.

There's a PARODY Twitter account @jezfestrefunds that puts it all together, I'm sure on order-order there were some tweets from people who were pissed off that others were getting free tickets.

Including this one, which truly broke the irony meter

Exactly, those rich people who have so much spare money can pay, those that couldn't afford to pay get it for free. Lesson: wait until it becomes free next time round. Oh wait, isn't that why communism goes down the pan every time?

Roll up, roll up. Adult tickets now slashed to £10 per adult and free for these 14 years and under.

And even the supporters who paid full whack are demanding a refund / partial refund.
