Tickets for gigs, £40+ to see an arena type performer and they like to hold your money for 9 months before you see them.

Stickers for my Euro 2012 Panini album are ten bob a packet, pretty sure they were 10pennies when I were a slip of a lad growing up. Getting a few funny looks from peeps I work with when I get excited after a visit to the shop... Got, got, got, got, NEED!

My first book (Football 82) - they were 6p for 4 stickers in a pack.  Quite why that's stuck in my mind I don't know!

 I Never complain about the price of fish. Fisherman out in all weathers doing one of the most dangerous jobs working for peanuts. As most uk fish is exported the few of us that love it end up having to pay a premium.

That's effectively cheaper than it used to be...

As is $10000 entry for WSOP ME

Fish from the chippy round here is £4.40, but that gets you a piece of cod the size of a small dog and can be shared between two
