I (and plenty of people I know) regularly attend live music, with on the door prices that are equivalent to the cost of a few drinks. But equally I’ve been prices out of seeing some of my favourite acts because they’re big enough to demand higher costs so I totally get where you’re coming from.
I think what I’m getting at could better be phrased as; people don’t want to see small acts much these days.
There’s loads of acts like Ed Sheeran, but if you’re into Ed, not just music like him, it’s going to seem like it’s impossible to watch it live, when in actuality there’s a lot of gigging musicians who are out there with accessible performances.
