RENT PRICE INCREASE

I found out last night that RENT increased there prices
They went from
Monday- Thursday
$95 Orc & Front Mezz
$45 Rear Mezz
$50 Side Boxes

Friday- Sun
$100 Orc & Front Mezz
$50 Rear Mezz
%50 Side Boxes


To
All Performances
$110 Orc & Front Mezz
$55 Rear Mez
$50 Boxes

Y did they increase the prices? Will they still be doing good after lottery discounts last time I was there my friends got Rear Mezz for $25.
I hope this doesn't affect the lottery price

"Y" is not a word.

And maybe it is a temporary increase to cash in on Pascual/Rapp's return. The producers would be foolish to increase prices permenantly.

This year's rent.....Increase!

Off the top of my head, all other musicals on Broadway have been $110 or higher for top-price tickets for some time now. Sounds like RENT is finally increasing it's prices to match the competition. Hopefully they don't shoot themselves in the foot, especially after Rapp & Pascal leave the production.
Regardless, there will probably still be plenty of discounts to be had. Also, most other shows charge more than $55 for their rear mezz, so that is still a pretty good price in comparison.
I don't think the lottery price will change either. It's been $20 for 11 years now, and has stayed $20 even when other ticket prices increased.

Is the lottery $20? A couple of years ago they had raised it to $25. Did they reverse that?

Wow- I don't remember so many people defending Wicked or Young Frankenstein price hikes. IS it just Rent that can raise their prices or does everyone get to do it?

If people won't pay the price now for Rent, why would they pay a higher price?

It's fun to note how many replies to this thread had nothing to do with the topic.

The tickets are now $110.
