Nothing to do with tariffs ; Tariffs just change the mentality of everyone's business model. Recently purchased a CD player 4 months ago ;same CD play has increased 35%...Just grab what you can get.... Also NY Philharmonic and the entire center pays no rent to NYC I am pro-union but give me a break. The average stage hand makes $300,000 a year.

"The average stage hand makes $300,000 a year. "

Clearly, I'm in the wrong business! But, seriously, you'll have to provide some evidence to back up your unbelievable statement before anyone will believe it. For example, a financial statement from the NY Phil organization.

    Best bargain in NYC: Metropolitan Opera tickets for $50. Yup. 50 bucks. They are up high, and you cannot see everything from some of them, but if you want to try opera and don't want to spend a few hundred, this is the way. You can buy the tickets on line.
    
    Best to buy in advance.
    
    And the best bar in NYC, PJ Clarkes, is across the street.
    
    And no, you do not have to dress up. Sweater and jeans works fine.

        While we are on the subject of cost, the Philadelphia Orchestra performs at Marion Anderson Hall. Great orchestra, really comfortable hall, Yannick is the music director and frequent conductor. Excellent pre-concert talks.
        
        Best seats are around $160. Worth the drive from Northern NJ. And a stay over in a nice hotel is pretty inexpensive by NYC standards.
        
        Speaking of Yannick... - kuma 09:44:23 03/21/25 (0)
