Secondary Tickets, Old Flowers, Housing Shortage

Available for over a year

You & Yours discovers that Ticketmaster's "Get Me In" website pays Google to promote pricey secondary tickets for events even when they are not sold out. Our research of 50 events discovered that even when events weren't sold out, Google would list the secondary ticketing website first. The research also found that fans buying the tickets through "Get Me In" would on average pay £30 more per ticket. The Government's housing advisor tells this programme that the UK needs a greater variety of new homes to tackle the growing housing crisis. Sir Oliver Letwin, who is doing a review of the house-building industry, also says there is a serious skills shortage. He believes 15,000 new bricklayers need to be trained for the Chancellor to meet his promise to increase the number of new homes in Britain from 220,000 to 300,000 per year. Plus we take a look at how a project to recycle out-of-date supermarket cut flowers is working. The Flower Bank gives young offenders training in flower arranging, and the designs are then donated to care homes and other causes. Presented by Winifred Robinson Produced by Natalie Donovan.
