Idolator Gets Personal: Coachella and Live Music Costs

I’ve never directly mentioned the effect of the recession on the live music industry on Live Exhaust before, but after I read this Idolator article about Coachella’s layaway ticket plan and the festival season ticket price pinch, I thought I had better see what your thoughts are.

The comments in the Idolator article weren’t a real surprise but whenever I see fans express themselves in such a downer mood, it still hits me really hard. What I love about blogs is the opportunity for free expression from fans, and in this case the fan expressions, though honest, are still hard to swallow.

So how are you guys doing?

Any festival plans so far?
