Best Answer

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. == 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.
