Broadway has always been accused of being elitist, but this is literally 25- 30 times what it would have cost originally at the Plymouth, in seats much closer to the stage. Duringthe same time interval,movie costs have raised by a multiple of four to five, and restaurant prices probably 5 to 6 (for restaurants that would have been considered reasonably priced in those days.

Considering the Hudson had Burn This balcony seats for $59, this is literally $40 more expensive, not sure the % but thats getting closer to 100% increase than not. Disturbing lol, I spent a little extra on this for Boston but since thats one of the bigger pre broadways playing in town this year I'm not surprised people are going to see it."
You can blame the A list celebrities in the cast. When I found out about the production and the cast, I had a knee jerk reaction and almost bought a ticket, but then after thinking for a few minutes I realized that I don't even like SJP that much. I agree though that $99 for a balcony seat is a lot.
