What was the cost of admission in pounds to one of Shakespeare's plays in the 16th century? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
In the sixteenth century there were 240 (old) pennies in a pound. An old penny is thus roughly equivalent to a cent. The entrance fee was of the order of an old penny.
Answer
Well it depended where you wanted to sit.
On the ground: 1 cent
on the balcony: 3 cents
kings and queens: 5 cents
and so on the more money u paid the better seats u got.
