In the early days of rock, seeing a band like Deep Purple in Leeds was astonishingly cheap. Commenter Andy Holohan paid just 2/6 (two shillings and sixpence, roughly 13p in modern, decimal currency). This incredibly low price illustrates the accessibility of live music before it became a huge industry.

Multiple fans remembered the exact cost for the Simple Minds gig. Jason Beardsall stated: "Simple Minds in '89...cost £16.50 and, to this day, still the best gig I have ever been to."
