Yeh at the end of the day dont buy the tickets.....if enough people do that then they will have to drop the prices.


I would love Sky TV.....i can afford it.......but i think £60 a month is foccin ridiculous........so i dont have it.......but millions of folk do pay that much to have it and u til they all opt out like me then they wont drop the prices.

This. In the case of sportsmen/women, if you don't like it, vote with your feet. If nobody paid the exuberant prices for footy/f1/whatever other sport you watch, they would be forced to lower prices to get the punters in. Most of these top sportsmen are making more from advertising than they do their sport anyway...Beckham was making millions more from his Vodafone sponsorship than he ever was at man u, but end of the day, Vodafone customers were paying for that advertisement somewhere down the line too.

The only ones subsidising nhs doctors and nurses is us through our tax contributions...it only goes so far. I think the wages they get are scandalous (and my missus is a nurse), but our millions are spread throughout thousands of doctors and nurses. They only way for them to get more money is to either take more from the tax payers (all of us), or take money from somewhere else - schools or police etc.

I think they money politicians get is ridiculous too. I have said this before, but IMO the way politicians are paid is unfair....voting for their own wages. Who would vote no for their own massive wage rise?

Since the politicians love to beat us with the "fairness and equality" stick...how about their foccin wages are tied to the average national wage. If they want themselves to get a wage rise... Then they get the national average up and we all benefit a little. And the easiest way to get the national average up is to change the poorest and lowest paid, meaning a more balanced nation. But what do I know... I'm just a half-wit from Scotland :lol
