In 1986 Sylvia left Scotland for London to pursue a career in music journalism. What follows is a 30 year journey in search of happiness through music, magazines, silly jokes, stupid shoes, useless blokes, hopeless homes, booze, drugs, love, loss, A&E, death, disillusion and hope - while trying to make Prince laugh, startle Beyoncé, cheer Eminem up, annoy Madonna, drink with Shaun Ryder and finish off Westlife forever (with varying degrees of success).
What is the Handling Charge for?
To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, Stoke Newington Literary Festival generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.
For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.
Delivery
If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.
We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.
When you purchase tickets through Stoke Newington Literary Festival, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
