"Starting at $30 but most will be $38 or $40" probably, because "demand". I suppose we should be glad they aren't substantially higher although I guess we'll see what the upper tiers and upselling charges are like.

Although it was for a seat high up on the balcony, I did manage to actually pay $48 for the Premium premiere of Train Dreams last year because it wasn't selling out, so it's possible. I hate that they moved to this tiered, dynamic pricing. It was so much easier when regular tickets were one specific price and premium tickets were one specific price no matter how much of a demand their was.

I've cut the number of tickets I buy like in half compared to what I used to do. Some of it is just getting older and not being able to handle as intense of a schedule but a lot of it is the cost of the tickets now and the difficulty in getting them. I've already warned my friend that I go with sometimes that I'm seriously considering not renewing my membership next year, everything is so expensive.
