Why oh why are the shows in Istana Budaya always so expensive? I'm not just talking about Cats and STOMP now, even Alang Rentak Seribu or National Symphony Orchestra performances cost quite a bundle for an average Malaysian like me.
And they wonder why it is so hard to promote these shows.
And they wonder why art appreciation is lacking among Malaysians.
And they wonder why they're being accused of being clique-ish.
Why won't they reserve more places for students? Why won't they give more early bird discounts? Why won't they give cheaper options?
You'd think students nowadays could afford RM77 for a seat? Even working individuals like me would think thrice (to the power of two) to pop RM77, let alone RM127 per show - and that's minimum prices!.
Sure, STOMP (etc.) is a recognised, international outfit. However, surely there must be a way to make these acts more accessible to normal people like me.
Gripes!
However, if you are lucky enough to be among the minority of people who would not think twice paying more than RM50 per show, perhaps the JPEG I borrowed from Axcess.com would be worth perusing...
