How much did it cost to go to the theatre in the 1800s?

Answer 1

It cost one to three pence to see a performance at the Globe Theatre in London, and the same applied to most performances in the large public theatres. But occasionally they charged more--the tickets for the fraud production "England's Joy" at the Swan were much higher than usual. Also the tickets for the indoor theatres were much more expensive, as the capacity was smaller.

Answer 2

Transcontinental (New York to San Francisco) ticket rates as of June 1870: $136 for first class in a Pullman sleeping car; $110 for second class; $65 for third or "emigrant" class seats on a bench (remember they didn't have a railroad that crossed the country until then!)

Answer 3

It did not cost nearly as much to go to the theatre in the 1800's as it does now. It cost less than 30 cents.

Answer 4

Movie theaters did not exist in the 1800's.

Answer 5

five cents
