- I got lucky that they were still 'only' 352 when I bought. -- nm - ty97 Feb 4, 09:45 25
  - $177!!! - Diva Feb 4, 09:47 24
    - He will be over it about 5 minutes into the show. - ty97 Feb 4, 09:49 23
      - I would go into a depression coma if I spent that much on a show / concert. -- nm - groiny Feb 4, 09:50 21
        
        I remember feeling ill about spending close to $100 for Elton John tickets. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 4, 10:00
        
        What if the show/concert was an hour long KY-pit sparring session with Rousey? - Shaun Feb 4, 09:52
        
        I guess that is like me - i am always amazed at hearing you guys spend like, $50, on a video game, because that seems pointless to me. - Andie Feb 4, 09:51 18
        
        exactly. We bought these 6 months in advance and they're our gift for our 5th anniversary. - Diva Feb 4, 09:54
        
        I try to make sure I'll be getting a proper entertainment value out of it. - Shaun Feb 4, 09:54 10

        You are sadly mistaken if you think I'm bored. But thanks for comments. -- nm - Shaun Feb 4, 10:02 4

        I just need to be able to justify an expense based on how I think. But people have a myriad of hobbies and what constitutes value. - Shaun Feb 4, 10:09
        
        well, andie should not buy a video game then. -- nm - groiny Feb 4, 10:08 1
        
        right, but i don't think because *i* wouldn't get $50 worth of enjoyment from it, that no-one else could. -- nm - Andie Feb 4, 10:11
        
        since this is a once-in-a-lifetime game changer to me and my only opportunity to see the Original Cast it's just as valuable and - Diva Feb 4, 09:57 3
        
        'Ding' we all have our must attend bucket items or events -- nm - Remliks phone Feb 4, 10:02
        
        For sure. People value things differently, which is cool. I know you'll enjoy the hell out if it. - Shaun Feb 4, 10:00 1
        
        It's not a new IPhone. It's a revolutionary new musical -- nm - Deeve Feb 4, 10:17
        
        for example, the hours I have spent playing Destiny makes 100 bucks seem like nothing. - groiny Feb 4, 09:53 5
        
        Pretty sure I'm at about $0.10/hour by now, maybe even lower. That *insane* value for the $. -- nm - Shaun Feb 4, 09:55
        
        sure. but it's all based on value to you. -- nm - Andie Feb 4, 09:55 3
        
        at the end of the day, it is a 2 to 3 hour show. - groiny Feb 4, 09:58 2
        
        it's not a movie. a movie will be the same no matter what i spend on it. a live show with the original cast is not something that can be recreated. - Andie Feb 4, 10:00

    - It was more a comment on the overall pricing dynamic on bradway - Znufrii Feb 4, 09:54
  - EXACTLY -- nm - groiny Feb 4, 09:45 25
    - The irony of doing theater in NYC is that you can't really afford to see much theater in NYC -- nm - Znufrii Feb 4, 09:49 2

        They're also making Broadway wages, unlike most theater people. - Znufrii Feb 4, 09:51
    - well, it would be if seats were empty, being as they are not... -- nm - Andie Feb 4, 09:47 21
      - Currently sold out through November - ty97 Feb 4, 09:48 18
        
        Is Lin Manuel scheduled to be on at those performances? -- nm - Diva Feb 4, 09:49 2
        
        Everything I've read says the understudy does Sunday matinees. - ty97 Feb 4, 09:51 1
        
        (I don't know for sure about these specific Sunday matinees though) -- nm - ty97 Feb 4, 09:51
        
        proving that some people just have too much money. -- nm - groiny Feb 4, 09:48 14
        
        *shrug* I guess I could have 'wasted' that money on a video game system instead - ty97 Feb 4, 09:50 13

        heh -- nm - ty97 Feb 4, 09:54
        
        not judging you, but for a show that expensive to be sold out for that long - groiny Feb 4, 09:52 10

        I could not pull the trigger on 300 bucks to get backstage meet and greet tix for Rob Zombie, who I love. -- nm - groiny Feb 4, 09:55 8
        
        Yeah but you do meet and greets and photo ops that last 1 min for close to that price. Everyone has thier thing -- nm - Remliks phone Feb 4, 10:06 1
        
        and I have a photo to last a lifetime for it. - groiny Feb 4, 10:10

        I can understand $ spent on travel much easier than a 3 hour show. - groiny Feb 4, 10:01 4

        also, my IM comment was more of me just being an ass, than an actual comment FTR -- nm - groiny Feb 4, 10:07
      - sure, does not make it any less cray cray -- nm - groiny Feb 4, 09:48
      - (i wouldn't spend that, because it's out of my budget, but i don't really begrudge them charging it.) -- nm - Andie Feb 4, 09:47
