Seeing live music is becoming increasingly expensive, thanks to the rise of dynamic ticket pricing and resale websites in addition to an ongoing cost of living crisis.

With this in mind, we would like to hear about your experiences of paying to see live music. Have your gig-going habits changed due to rising prices? What’s the most you’ve spent on going to see an artist live? And was it worth it?
