Simple... I just decided to stop going to concerts.

No matter how much I might enjoy an artist, none of them are worth the extortionate expenditure
of tickets, rail fares, Travel lodge, meals, drinks etc...

Or the discomfort of being crammed in inadequate venues
next to loudmouthed cretins who spoil every song by talking, whistling and singing along badly out of tune.

The last straw for me was when Springsteen played Cardiff around 2006 or 08
and the wife insisted we go no matter what it cost..
