Nor me before the last 18 months, but its becoming the norm very rapidly for Birmingham and Nottingham to find most well known bands knocking on for that. I have tickets for Filter, Hives, Idles this year, none I would consider big bands but all around the £40 mark. Paid over £40 for SLF at the Academy last year compared to twenty something a couple of years ago. Even some tribute bands want £15+ around here. There are still plenty of free ‘covers band’ gigs which is great.
