I understand what you're saying Zeitoujo, however I don't view it as dumb nor difficult to understand. It's just good business. The theatres and producers have expenses to meet or they wouldn't offer standing room at all. The box office would stop ticket sales when the seats were sold out. But if people are willing to stand for two and half hours why not get price. It's a matter of worth to the buyer. I would pay more for standing room at certain shows without even flinching if it were the only way for me to see them. Ahhh, we crazy theatre folks.
Bottom line Z...supply and demand. It's a business.

You don't have to be a student to buy a SRO ticket so the economic potential of the non-student audience would cause them to charge more.
yes- that was entirely tounge-in-cheek.

...people write ambiguous thread titles that give no indication as to what the thread is about?
Cause I don't understand that either.

You know...for several shows, the 2nd row costs 85 dollars more than the 1st row when a lottery is involved.
It's nothing new :).
