I find this interesting. My wife and I are going to Mexico early next year for a music festival. This is a pretty frivolous expense. and not a cheap one. The promotors who put this show on a number of shows during a month and in the past these have sold out very quickly, often in days. Not this year. Still rooms available at all of the events, which leads me to believe that a lot of people are having trouble coming up with the money this year. The promoter has always offered to break the total payment down into six credit card payments, which probably makes it workable for a lot of people. Personally, I feel that if you can't afford to pay cash for something like this than you can't afford it, but it is their money.
So now they are saying that Burning man and other festivals have been seeing slow ticket sales and less attendance. But you don't even have to go that far, I don't believe that most local concerts are selling out anymore or at least doing quickly. People are pulling back on spending the signs are definitely there. People might be spending more overall, but that is probably because things that we need cost more.
The economy is in trouble or at least heading that way.
