French term or phrase: accessibles à toutes les bourses
Grâce aux efforts menés au niveau de la tarification, les concerts sont accessibles à toutes les bourses.

This is in a small paragraph about a concert hall.
Iknow what it means, but I just don't seem to be able to come up with something - mental block or some such, not doubt.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'd like to be able to share the points for this one, since there were so many good suggestions. I'd love to give Rob a point, because he got my brain going again. However, this is definitely the one I like most, so it's got to get the points.
