Ticket Pricing...
Sun, 30 Apr 2000, 03:02 pmI know that you'll all have a 1000 answer's to this one but still.....
I'd like to complain about the price of musical tickets these days, $16/17 for an adult!! I know that the prices of rights etc etc have gone up but really this is getting a bit much. Trying to convince my non theatre friends to pay this is like trying to pull teeth. As one told me last week for this price I could, see a movie, get into a club and have a drink, buy a good bottle of wine or several 100 other things all of which she thought might be more fun than an amature musical. Another friend who would get the student rate said he really couldn't afford $15 for one show, for this he could see 2 movies at Luna Cinemas. My own father thinks he is being ripped off!
I think perhaps the fact that Assassins sold out plus more on 1/2 price night might say somthing.
Some-one has to complain.....

You're apparently not alone Julia! An overwhelming majority in the current poll aren't happy paying anything more than $15 for a community theatre show - some draw the line at $9!!
Interestingly, people appear not to be so choosy when it comes to professional gigs with most people prepared to fork out more than three times as much to see a pro show!
Have we all voted yet? Is it time for a new poll? Keep those suggestions coming in!
