BBC Radio 4 show Desert Island Discs is to be given an outing in the West End, but fans are shocked at the price of tickets. Seats at the London Palladium cost up to £90, and a VIP drinks deal is an extra £135 on top.
The programme’s host, Lauren Laverne, will interview famous names such as comics Katherine Ryan and Dara O Briain, former Bake Off host Sue Perkins and writer Russell T Davies over three nights in March.
‘Money-making con/excuse to give more exposure to already over-exposed minor “celebrities”,’ was one of the negative comments online. ‘Check out the ludicrous ticket prices.’
