I think there are different types of ticket buyers. The tourists, I presume, who are planning a trip to NYC, have an itinerary which includes travel, hotel, food, entertainment, etc. and have a package price with a travel agent, or simply budget for the whole deal on their own. I don't think they quibble over the price of a ticket because they're in town for a limited time, want to see certain shows on a certain date.
Then there are the locals who are savvy enough to know where and how to get a cheaper ticket or better day to see the show they choose.
Finally, there are those to can afford to pay just anything for anything!
p.s. I think it's mostly the tourists who keep the prices high.
p.p.s. if it's a show i'm dying to see or an actor I"m dying to see, I"ll pay anything under $200. If I'm not dying to see it, I don't go.
