Santander Gigflation Index

PR Campaign
Wednesday 24th June, 2026

Santander UK published original research — a “gigflation” index tracking average gig and festival ticket prices rising from £41 in 2000 to £128 today (a 212% increase) — and paired it with a survey of 2,000 live-event attendees to generate media coverage about rising concert costs and launch a new savings product.

Why it worked: It quantified a hot wallet-pain story with a simple, sticky index name and long-run data, then tied it to a fresh product launch.

The lesson: Consider coining a memorable index name, benchmark 20 years of prices from public archives, and field a quick poll to localize headlines.
