Agreed and that is the problem.

If we continue to toe that particular line, none of these series will be around much longer. Which is the problem. The circuits can't sustain the rising costs against a background of limited income. Putting prices up to pay for a "show" that has such limited appeal is a sure fire way of going bankrupt.
