Russian cinemas can set any ticket price if there is a need, People's Artist of the Russian Federation, State Duma Deputy Dmitry Pevtsov told reporters. About this write .
Ticket sales for Tchaikovsky's ballet “The Nutcracker”, staged by Yury Grigorovich, will be held at the Bolshoi Theater on New Year's Eve, starting at 10:00 Moscow time on December 2 and ending at 12:02. All 349 tickets have been sold.
The cost ranges from 5 to 50 thousand rubles. At the auction, the most expensive ticket set was the December 20 ticket; it costs the buyer 510 thousand rubles.
“If the Bolshoi Theater produces such a product, they have the right to set their own prices. If you don't like it, don't go, watch it on TV. I will not condemn or discuss the pricing policy – this is a rather delicate thing,” Pevtsov emphasized.
The actor recalls that in Russia the majority of cinemas are municipal, federal or regional and all “receive subsidies”.

In his opinion, if someone can and buys a ticket for 100 thousand rubles, then “nothing terrible.”
