Gigs getting expensive?

[Condi]

Anyone else finding this? Seems a lot of the acts I like to see have been pushing up prices recently. Faithless in 2006 cost me £20 a ticket, now £40, plus booking fees - so more like £45 to me. Same with Above and Beyond, was £25 a show, now seem to be £45 again. A 1 day festival (where many acts play) only sets me back £60-£80, and for that you get 10 hours of music rather than just 3 - in many cases A+B or faithless are playing!

Getting to the point I begrudge spending the money now, seen them often enough already, but a shame they seem to have priced themselves out of being reasonable value.
