The rising ticket prices in the theatre industry are making it difficult for non-wealthy individuals to attend live performances, similar to the football and music industries. The author shares their disappointment in the high prices for a Shakespeare play and questions the reasoning behind such pricing strategies.

and no longer working late evenings as an editor, I’ve been able to reconnect with my great love of live performances – particularly Shakespeare , which is almost an addiction.

Then I clicked the link in the email to discover that all the newly released tickets for the run were “from £275” each. Who can afford that? What’s the theatre’s thinking behind releasing the seats in that fashion? It felt insulting to me as an avid supporter of live theatre.
