The downside of "premium": entitlement.
This is part of a new normal. You pay outrageous fees for tickets -- some now $2000 for an orchestra premium seat (I know someone in Portland, OR who did) -- and once you attend, you OWN the experience. And the experience -- and those involved -- are yours as long as you're in the vicinity of the Music box. If you want him to come outside and shake your hand, sign a Playbill, or agree to perform magic tricks and little Riley's next birthday party, he'd better do it, or they will turn, in an instant. |
