Wow, going to the theater (plays) is expensive!

So my wife, like 97% off all women, loves the movie Grease. I think it's some kind of requirement for graduation from woman school. Anyway, the play is going on in San Francisco the next few weeks, so I thought that would be a perfect surprise for her to take her there (although I don't like the movie, but hey she watches my Laker games). So I get online to ticketmaster.com, and pull up tickets for Saturday. $160 each!!! Holy crap, this isn't New York! Do we actually get to be IN the frigging play for that price? I was thinking like $60-75 each, but $160? That's crazy talk right there. For that price they better let me play Danny Zuko and feel up the chick playing Sandy.

Thank goodness. I wouldn't feel right paying $5 for that.

Well neither would I if it was for me. But when you're married you have to do things like this from time to time. My wife sits through my Laker games, I figured I could at least take her to a play.
