Surviving the cost of living crisis and still enjoy the arts

I'm gonna state the obvious. This is a nice community of people. People shouldn't feel shy or afraid to say on here what they would love to see but perhaps can't afford (or get a ticket for). Plenty of people on here imply that they are in the industry or "in the know". I've helped out a few people on here in the past with hard to get / unaffordable tickets, and it is one of my small pleasures in life - being able to help others where I can. Let's pool our resources/contacts/expertise/knowledge and help keep our community thriving by donating spares, sharing links for cheap tickets, or simply "paying it forward" and buying a fellow board member a ticket. Idealism? No. It happens. We can help each other if the desire is there. :-)
