Maybe 15 dollars was a bit overboard, but there are some pretty cheap regular priced seats out there.

Princeton. I apologize if you took that the wrong way as tone of voice is very hard to tell online. My post was in response to the posts on this thread, not as a general blanket statement. There are people in this world who have never seen a broadway show nor could afford to see one no matter how much it was discounted.

My error was to use my ideas as fragments and to assume readers would know I was referring to people being entitled to discounts.. not theater in general.

I believe your post was equally "low" though and harsh. I'm surprised by anyone that would question my love for theater and I am equally disappointed and saddened you would even suggest it.

Tiny, you are absolutely right and those are shows that will get my business. I thank them and a few others who continue to recognize that theatre should be for everyone and not the "elite" few whose lifestyle allows them to pay ridiculous prices for each and every show.

Edit - And Craig that statement was obviously directed towards me. I know you don't like me and it was extremely evident by the way you treated me when we were introduced a few weeks ago.

the fact is, Matt, and i don't agree with it, if people will keep paying $100+ for a ticket, why lower the price? I mean, even you can understand that.

As for the show you mentioned, those not doing well...obvioulsy it isn't the people at the BO - they have their orders. I am sure either the theatre or the producers will not allow student rush tkts to be sold to non-students. it's the whole, "if we do it for one, we have to do it for all."

But yes, there is no real excuse for not selling student rush tkts when they have so many open seats...

No. I'm saying (for the TENTH TIME TODAY) that it would not hurt a show to offer a row of seats at a general rush price for each performance. That's all.

You know, Matt_G, I've often read your tantrums on this board and think you might want to find an anger management class. I've seldom read such consistently negative posts than the ones you put on this board. Jiminy Crickets.

Matt_G makes some very valid points. I like that the Metropolitan Opera House offers standing room for both the opera and ballet regardless if they have a full house or not. When I lived in NYC this afforded me the opportunity to attend performances that normally I would not have been able to.

The arts, be it Broadway, opera or ballet should be accessible to everyone and reserving a row or two for just that is not too much to ask for.

Skempp, who the hell are you? You can't POSSIBLY be serious.

Yes, Skempp. Your point was made. What point that was exactly, nobody knows, but it was made.

Skempp, your sad attempt at being sarcastic doesn't make my point any less valid.

I'm not. Skempp obviously doesn't read what I write here so he/she has no idea what they're talking about.

Aren't we all going WAY OFF the topic here?

Matt asked a simple question. Why can't there be a standard policy of general rush tickets to all shows? Or have a last minute policy?

It's really UNNECESSARY to bring issues from other threads over and attack him.
