Concert ticket prices are getting stupid. Considering what they were a relatively short time ago. In saying that though, some comedy shows (I.e. Peter Kay etc...) are around £40 a ticket for about an hour and a half show.

Rather pay £20 for Frank Turner any day!! :thumbsup:

Considering the marketplace for recorded music these days is going down the toilet, and all the piracy as well, it wouldn't surprise me if bands don't come to see their live shows as their main source of income and the record sales as just a form of advertising the shows...
