In early March, Gareth David of loscampesinos broke down what it cost to stage a one-off show in Dublin, Ireland. Listed alongside the hiring of vans and hotels and other expenses the frontman revealed that the band set aside 5% of all tickets at a low-income rate of $10. In the end, only four out of the 520 tickets sold were bought at the discounted rate, but to David, having the low-income pricing option at all was symbolic of something that’s become increasingly lost in the current touring landscape. ⁠
⁠
“I’m so glad 4 fans that might not have been able to afford the full rate ticket got to see us live,” he wrote. “More bands need to adopt this approach.”⁠
⁠
Amid rising costs that understandably make live events a lower priority, Los Campesinos! are leading the charge among a small cadre of artists including sherelle_ and itspeprally's karimolenash prioritizing their fans as people, not just a means of boosting their bottom line.⁠
