CNA Magazines - sick and tired of being ripped off!

>☹ Is it me or am the only one who thinks we are getting seriously ripped off when it comes to buying magazines like : Metal Hammer /Kerrang /Guitarworld /Rock etc.... How do they justify selling the magazines at such an exorbitant price? Metal Hammer in the UK costs £3.99, when converted is about R58.00, I understand they have shipping costs to bring them in, but how do you justify this: Metal Hammer in December = R110.00 (it's still expensive, double the price already) Metal Hammer in Jan = R159.00 (?????????????????????) When I asked the manager how they justify such a huge price increase, all he could say to me was " Don't buy the magazine then"!!!! Maybe it's just me, but excuse me while I go put my R159.00 magazine back into it's plastic cover and seal it in the vault to one day pass on to my offspring. :'(

As someone who buys Guitarist every month, I might just give the subscription a go...

O, how did you guys go ahead and ordered the subscriptions. I clicked the link on their website (http://www.guitarist.co.uk/) and was taken to a site called http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk. Is that normal?

Thanks for the website Mr M! 8)

Yeah, I really dig Premier Guitar. They've got a really cool article this month on Power Attenuators and a roundup of 18 Guitar Cab Mics, which I'm looking forward to reading when I have a gap.

The magazines work so much better in the loo though! My wife already has a problem with me reading on the loo. Imagine if I take my Laptop and browse the Net! ?

That is the one Dee, but I would recommend having a look in the latest Guitarist magazine that you can find. Towards the back they have a whole page devoted to subscriptions and there is usually a special running on subscription fees with a specific link to access the special. I used the christmas special and got 10% off the normal rate. They usually have some kind of special every month, hopefully you are just in time for the opening of the easter special!!
