$70 for an outsiders conception day ticket? Really? I thought that was a bit much. For those of you who might not know, Conception Day unlike the name suggests is a festival day at our Uni, with live bands, renowned DJ's performing on a different stages. And alot of beer :P Students of the university purchase $10 tickets, which seemed fair enough, however outsiders tickets might have been over priced... Although it says outsiders can come along, I dont think too many uni students who have just started earning would want to spend $70 to see a couple of bands, even if it meant to hang out with their friends from Mac uni. Yes, they must cover costs but looking at it from a student's perspective, I found that many students preferred to stay back and do something with their whole bunch of friends including those who weren't at Mac. But its not just Conception day tickets, it applies to parking, lunch at the food court, printing and the list goes on. There's not much one can do when Sydney is the 7th most expensive city in the world. Yup, in the world :) Feels good doesn't it :P Good luck to those who have a weakness for shopping. For those of us who have moved out and need to go grocery shopping on a weekly basis, looking at the Sydney-Melbourne grocery price comparison doesn't really help...
The purpose of this blog is not to rant on about how expensive Sydney is, but atleast to be a considerate when it comes to students, as we are just starting off on part time jobs and trying to balance things off. Feel free to VURO if you think otherwise :P
Take care!
