Oliver Hides takes your calls on gig tickets, additional learning needs, & your tributes to Brian Wilson, Beach Boys’ frontman.

Have you paid over the odds for a ticket? Where have you turned for help for children needing additional support? And share your tributes to the Beach Boys’ frontman Brian Wilson.

The Phone In with Oliver Hides...

Do you think the system for buying tickets for major events is fair? A ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ news investigation has uncovered allegations, made by ticket touts, that staff at major ticketing firms helped them make substantial profits.

So, as Wales gears up for a summer of huge gigs, how have you found the experience of buying a ticket, and have you paid over the odds to a tout?

We’re also discussing the challenges faced by the parents of children with additional learning needs. If your child has required additional support, where have you turned for help? And was that help available? One parent is calling on the Welsh Government to establish an ALN advocate for Wales.

We’ll be joined by the Welsh Government's Cabinet Secretary for Education, Lynne Neagle.

And please share your tributes to Brian Wilson. The Beach Boys’ frontman has died at the age of 82.

Do you love his music? Did you see him live? Let us know.
