NY Philharmonic ticket prices

While quite possibly the NY Phil musicians union has "let things go to their heads", in addition to the plethora of "fair share" taxes and operating costs in NYC, some perspective is useful. People send $$ on all sorts of stuff. What some spend on the lastest must-have phone thingy or for pet care are quite interesting. Contrast the NY Phil prices with the breathtaking charge for any number of superstar rock shows. Also as other posters pointed out, the operating costs of a symphony are spread over a comparatively small audience base. Here in the Chicago area the CSO hasn't jacked the fare similarly .. yet. Meanwhile our football team 'Da Bears' announced that ticket prices are increasing 10%. That is despite their sordid performance for at least a decade. Ultimately it is the audience that has to decide on the value proposition and vote with their bucks.
