As the countdown begins to join ‘the queue’ I feel my adrenaline pumping. There are 4,895 people in front of me, Ticketmaster tells me. I have been waiting for this moment for weeks.

And I think about the look on my nine-year-old daughter Jemima’s face when I tell her we’ve got tickets to see our favourite singer-songwriter. I decide to go for it and purchase two ‘It’s a Love Story’ packages. It comes to, gulp, £556, in total.
