15 months and has to buy an adult ticket at the theatre?

Holy moly! I have to say that I was shocked to find that we have to buy an adult ticket for Maddy to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live! I expected to pay for her, of course, just not the same amount that an adult pays. Wow..

    LOL...I opened this all ready to flip out that someone would take their 15 month old to a movie...

    But, carry on, I agree - can't believe you'd have to pay for an adult ticket.  That's absurd.  Hope she sits in her own seat :)

    Yup, it's a child?s show so they charge full price for everyone over one, I think is what it said when I looked at the show they are doing at the Staples Center in LA.

    Yeah, I saw that.  I want to take DD, but I don't want to spend the money and figure out she cares nothing about it.  (She LOVES YGG,  I just don't know what she'd think of the live show.)

    I wanted to take DD to see Mickey's Magic Show, we would have to pay adult for her since she is over 11 months.  So for the 3 of us to go would have cost us 90 dollars just for admission, and those were the cheap, far away seats!   I think I will wait until she is a little older since I don't really know if she would even sit through it even though she loves her mouse :)

    Yup, I just paid $50 for DD's ticket to Elmo Live.  Merry Christmas DD!

    Just to give some perspective, I sit on the board of directors of a non profit theater and it is expensive to run these theaters. Sometimes the theater buys the show for tens of thousands and they have to pay for it some how. Or they get some money per each ticket sold. Our utilities are 10-20K per month. A seat is a seat and they need the money to survive.  I paid over $100 for my family to see the Wiggles live.

    I know, it sucks right :)? We had to do the same thing for DS to go to Elmo Live this weekend. I thought we would be able to get a lap seat too since he will be sitting on my lap the entire time, but NOPE! I mean, even at Disney World you get in free until you're three, lol!

    We took him to Disney on Ice last week and you actually didn't have to pay for children under two - that was nice!

    Why?  i haven't taken mine because she doesn't watch tv (i avoid it for her but she also has zero attention span), but if she had interest and could reasonably be expected to sit through the movie, i'd take her.  i took 2 of my nephews to their first movies each when they were about 18 and 20 months old, and they did great. 

     IMO, if I'm paying for a movie, I don't want to be sitting there with a baby who would potentially not be entertained and cry/make noise.  However, I wasn't thinking of a kids movie - I was thinking an adult movie.  I just know my DS at 15 months would not have sat through two minutes of almost ANY movie and it wouldn't have been fair to other people who paid for a ticket.  I'm not even going to attempt taking him, even to a kids movie, until he's at least 2.5-3.
