Teen Gothic

I don't know about your country, but I feel that here in Finland, the entry fees have become excessive. A gig featuring two bands that are just starting their careers can have a 15 euro entry fee, plus a cloakroom fee. I believe it's a lose-lose situation for everyone because it will result in significantly fewer attendees compared to if the entry fee were, for example, 5 euros. Many potential audience members may choose to stay home, causing these new bands to have even fewer people watching their gig than they would normally have. Do you have any thoughts on this, and is it similar in your country?
