And forget about Broadway shows. Anything worth seeing is priced in the stratosphere as every tourist to NYC feels it's obligatory to see one (or more) and the tickets are "capacity priced" using an algorithm designed to maximize profit. And every show HAS to have a "name brand" actor to headline - unless it's a revival (which makes plotting the profitability easy) or both. According to a producer I chatted with, "Broadway is not about art, but about profit - get used to it". So, in the past, we've flown to London for a long weekend, seen half a dozen plays and flown back for the price of seeing two plays in NYC. Some practice medical tourism, we practice cultural tourism.
