I can stomach commercial producers thinking along those lines, but for a theatre that started as a free theatre geared towards the middle and lower classes, it seems particularly awful. I have no problem with keeping last minute premium seats back and charging a fortune to the elite, but when you have to pay those prices the first day of booking (and for a second preview).....I don't know....it just seems wrong. As I understand it, there's been a growing trend towards making more and more of the Delacorte seats purchasable in advance, especially when there's a Streep or Kline involved: is the idea of free Shakespeare going to evaporate, too? [And does anyone know what the lines were like in the '60s and '70s? Was it always a camp out all day situation, or overnight?]
