Sir, – I was delighted to hear to hear that one of my favourite artists, Nathaniel Rateliff, was coming to play the 3 Arena in July. I duly logged on to the Ticketmaster website to discover that the tickets ranged in price from €88.50 to €110.50, excluding service charge. Scrolling down further, I checked some American gigs to find out that if I were in Tennessee or Georgia, I could see the same artist for €30. It must be very expensive to bring a band and equipment across the Atlantic! – Yours, etc,
FERGUS MADDEN,
