My usual reaction these days is "Eff off! I'm not paying that!"
Scot's gotta Scot. But it is getting ridiculous, and it's not just gig tickets. Someone's making money at our expense, and it isn't me, that's for damn sure. I rarely go out to the pub these days, never mind gigs, because the price of a pint is taking the p!ss. Maybe it has to, because if it's not the pubs who are taking the mick, then it's someone above them in the supply chain taking the mick out of them, to then take the mick out of me. I'm not having it. My wallet has a vote, and it's voting "no" a lot more often these days.
