Nutcracker? Nuts!!!

I've just checked the website; tickets are $25 - $45.00!!!! :( Plus the $2 building charge, then the $6.50 convenience fee. What's convenient about that? Ticketmaster is the only one who sells them, so how is it convenient to buy them - online? Okay: the $25 doesn't sound so bad, til you add the "convenience fee. And really, $45 isn't so bad either, I think I paid that much for a concert ticket before (well, more). But I'm not an indiscriminate spender anymore. :P

Hmmmm... I think I should get into ballet. Charge people $45 bucks a pop to see me flitter and twitter about in slippers on a stage (I really do like ballet, lol), and considering all the people that come, there's quite a bit of money. But then you factor travel expenses, production expenses (set decoration, artist's work, constumes, paying the orchestra, renting the auditorium...) okay, now that explains why ballerinas are so skinny. They cant' afford to eat by the time they pay for all that. :P Anyway... my comments on all that.
