*I get that maybe Grand needs to start taking more entrance fees, but I wonder how profitable that is compared to people dropping by unplanned drinking alcohol – maybe it’s more on the artist side of things, but some of these acts that they’re taking a door fee for – how many people are willing to pay 250kr? maybe I’m underestimating Malmö’s cultural engagement but isn’t it already hard enough to get people to these shows as is? especially * where it’s before payday. idk just some thoughts I had.
