Brian Eno is playing two sets at The Southbank this october. I was interested until I saw the ticket prices. The London Southbank shows vary from £65 -£165. He’s also playing around Europe so I checked out the two sets in Venice prices – 30 Euros – 80 Euros. Considering that Venice is known to be a fairly expensive place to visit I find the difference in prices staggering. I’ve been feeling that ticket prices have been rocketing for a while now but why are we paying over double? There will possibly be a live stream to cinemas(I’m guessing this) too. I’m all for artists earning a fair living but are we being ripped off? Good luck with your retirement fund Brian but I won’t be contributing.

I’ve just seen this on The Washington Post website – jeans covered in fake mud for $425:00. Apparently the fake mud can’t be washed out.
It reminds me of the Ray Lowry cartoon. Interior of a clothes shop. Two racks of t-shirts with price signs above. One reads T-shirts – £10 the other Ripped T-shirts – £15
