General admission tickets for Olivia Dean's Milk and Cookies Festival show range from R1,250 to R3,000, a price tag that had listeners and the host questioning whether it is worth it.

Valerie questioned whether ticket prices deliver value beyond the artist, asking about venue organisation, getting home safely afterwards, and how expensive drinks at the venue are.

Albert's advice, shared on air, was that you may have to change your strategy, adjust your timeline or even start again, but you do not have to surrender your dream.
