Ticket touts, Star Wars convention, Citroen

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Today a new campaign group called Fan Fair Alliance is launched by big players in the music industry to tackle the problem of ticket touts. The manager of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and PJ Harvey tells You & Yours what the promoters and musicians are trying to do to stop so many tickets ending up on resale websites. Sci-fi fans going to a Star Wars Convention this weekend are worried they've only bought a ticket which gives them the right to queue for a ticket to see the main events. The boss of Citroen, Linda Jackson, talks about how she turned around the fortunes of the car manufacturer. We continue our series looking at what legacy is left by the Olympics being hosted in your country. Today we report from Athens in Greece. A Housing Association in Oldham is helping the NHS save money by speeding up the transfer of patients into accommodation to free up beds. The Housing Association hopes its idea will be adopted across the UK which it says will save the health service millions of pounds. And a new law comes into force this month that stops companies selling replica furniture in the UK. One company is telling people who've already put in orders that they'll have to pick up their furniture from Ireland.
