Angine De Poitrine tickets were AU$90 (US$60) for their recent sale. Getdown Services were AU$60 (US$40). Radiohead tickets weren't too bad at AU$200 and I paid a shit load for Oasis tickets last year. If you are wanting to see AAA artists then unfortunately will be paying AAA prices these days.

Some people will never go to a local show and see a $150+ concert as the only way to see live music. It's worth pointing out because both the smaller bands and the paying audience benefit from more people being exposed to smaller bands

I couldn't attend most of the concerts of smaller bands i like because they were in the capitol city 5 hours away on weekdays.

Local bands don't replace really good touring bands that put on a good show. They're usually just OK.
