I'm thinking of it as "how much money did you give to businesses working in the music industry?" That eliminates flights, driving costs, beers, etc. I think it makes more sense that way, and, that's how I have it recorded in Quicken! :)

CDs/DVDs - $0 (c'mon, CDs?!? Ok, $140.44 for an eMusic plan + 6 albums downloaded from other stores)
Magazines - $0
Merchandise - $0
Gigs - $1301.20 (65 tickets for 33% less than MB's 47 tickets...woo hoo, I'm even an efficient concertgoer!)

Total - $1441.64 (7.5% of my expenses for the year)

Is there an award for highest live-music vs. purchased-music ratio?

If you ask my wife, it would be way to damn much. But if you ask me I think its the perect amount. Other than that I can't give you an exact number.
