If folks are willing to pay those prices, then they are appropriate. We are talking about a commercial enterprise, not a charity. Some people here (you included) talk about pricing as if they have some entitlement to see Broadway shows (and we are talking about a show that is being produced on Broadway ONLY because its star is thought to be a magnet for ticket purchasers).

I would love to have a Degas hanging in my living room. But I would not call Christies insane for selling it for millions of dollars more than I can afford to pay for it. Do you go on fashion websites at rail about the prices at Bergdorfs?

Had you said that you thought producers would be wise to consider a different pricing scheme (such as the one they seem to be employing here), I would have respected that and perhaps even agreed with you. But that's not what you did, and I don't think I was any ruder to you than you were to producers who you called insane.

I think pricing down the very non-lux balcony tickets and the preview tickets may well be a good decision, but do not mistake it for charity-it is a function of the demand the producers are seeing for those seats.
