More evidence of deflation

Ticket prices have gone up quite alot in the past few years anyway, I used to enjoy going to venues like Brixton and Shepard's bush for abuot £15, most tickets are now about £35 and then add all the other charges that ticketmaster puts on makes it an expensive experience now. Dont get me going about Getmein, trading standards took up my complaint about a farce on ticket sales i reported. I can only see this is the only viable stream of money for artists and record companies to keep up with the lifestyle our millionaire elderly music artists..

You can't tell em.
Deflation will follow rampant inflation. It's some way off yet but keep dreaming and keep your eyes on currencies.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ bye bye!

Musicians are finding it harder to make money by CD sales due to rampant piracy on the Net so raising prices for live performances might make a lot of sense. If you regularly attend gigs, then I have to concede it's a bit tough but the music world must make money somehow and piracy isn't going away anytime soon.
Personally, I find the rise in car servicing costs to have been one of the most noticeable costs of living that has risen in recent years.
