  17. Listen:'It's a world class musical festival for around £20' - culture chief defends Big Weekend ticket costs published at 15:43 British Summer Time 27 March 2017

    Caroline Bilton
    BBC Look North

    It's one of the most anticipated events of the year but whilst tickets are free, there'll be some costs for those going to Radio One's Big weekend at Burton Constable.

    These include an £8.50 administration fee per ticket, which organisers say will cover postage and admin costs. 

    There's also a charge of £13 to use a shuttle bus to get to and from the event - this will be the only way to get onto the site as there'll be no drop-off facility.

    For safety reasons people will not be allowed to walk or cycle onto the site and there'll be no on-site parking, so people will need to park at a designated park and ride spot at a cost of £7.50 per car.

    But organisers say this is value for money with some big names performing, here's Martin Green, Chief Executive Hull 2017:
