Director of Manchester Pride, Mark Fletcher said: “We’re really pleased to be able to offer Big Weekend tickets for sale as early as January this year and to offer them at last years lowest price.  We’re looking forward to another successful programme of activities for Manchester Pride 2014 and urge visitors not to miss out on this special price, undoubtedly a great rate for our iconic four day celebration of LGBT life.
