In light of Sheffield’s Dorothy Pax shutting down and a cost-of-living crisis, BBC 6 DJ SHERELLE aims to make live music an affordable possibility for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DJ played for fans in Sheffield at FORGE last Friday, while spreading a powerful message of empowerment and accessibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHERELLE said: \u201cI\u2019m super happy to be working with FORGE and Tickets for Good to help bring more people into these spaces, without services like the NHS and benefits, so many people\u2014myself included growing up\u2014would be left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheffield-born company Tickets for Good<\/a> previously worked with artists like Robbie Williams and The Pixies, offering tickets to NHS members, charity workers, teachers, and cost of living payment recipients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its beginning in 2019, Tickets for Good has distributed 850,000 tickets to fans who otherwise would have missed out. To date, users of the service have also saved over \u00a320 million in ticket value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Zimmer, founder of Tickets for Good said: \u201cWe\u2019re so excited to be part of this tour, working together with FORGE to give our members the chance to experience amazing live music while also supporting the local venues and nightclubs that make it happen.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this tour, a ticket cap of \u00a310 was announced and free tickets were offered, dedicated to keeping live music inclusive and accessible for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
