BestFriend, that's nonsense. The actors weren't "volunteering for" or "subsidizing" anyone at any point, no matter how many times you beat that dream in this discussion. They were on an Equity contract that their union bargained for and felt was appropriate. They originally signed on to that contract with no guarantee of being in higher price scale down the road; no one asked them to volunteer their services and none of them did so. The actors aren't entitled to higher ticket pricing any more than ticket buyers are entitled to a lower price. It's great your actors are getting paid more from their work but it is similarly too bad that the pricing of this show doesn't permit a lot of people to afford it.
