Well, tough as it may be, I guess I would try to get to the gigs that I was most interested in and cut back on the drinks first. Shock/horror!

Probably won't please the landlords or venue organisers, but that's the way it goes.
I've stopped buying CD's at gigs unless I'm really sure that I want a copy. I've bought loads in the past then got home and regretted it later.
Raffle tickets - well, it helps clubs keep going, so I try to buy a few, but I guess the club would rather have you pay on the door and not buy raffle tickets than not turn up at all!

We've all got to cut our cloth..... It can't last forever.
