Your missing the point Roscoe. Your making it sound like you want to buy tickets for this and yet your saying that you don't want to go.
As it was said before people aren't reacting the way that they did for Young Frank is because Brooks assumed right off the bat that just like The Producers his new show was going to be a hit. He gave those tickets those prices without knowing for sure.
And, as it was said earlier that High School Musical is a proven hit. With that fact Disney can charge what they want for it and people will pay.
And, I agree that there are going to be parents who will assume that this is the movie cast and complain when it isn't. It reminds me of a story I heard about Equus in London and how parents assumed that because Radcliffe was in it it was going to be child friendly and were angry when they knew nothing of the show going in and were upset that it wasn't child friendly.
I am already upset when it comes to this movie that part 3 is coming out on my birthday.

Letme go on record as saying 1) I do not work for Disney, 2) I als o support Mel Brook's right to charge whatever he wants and 3) Those Young Frankenstien tickets worked out exactly right didn't they?
If the tickets are too high, people won't go. If ticket prices are too low, by the way, they get purchased by scalpers and THEY end up making the extra $75 a ticket.
