I want to talk about the audiences of the Renaissance and the audiences of nowadays. In this way we can see how the theatres are changed in 5 hundred years.

Let’s start with the audiences of the Renaissance. Theatres could hold 3000 people, every person both nobles both commoners went to watch a play in the playhouse. Nobles would have paid for the better seats in the gallery paying 5d for the privilege. The Commoners called the Groundlings or Stinkards would have stood in the theatre pit and paid 1d entrance fee. They put 1 penny in a box at the theatre entrance for this reason the term 'Box Office'. So the prices were determined by the comfort of the seats.
besides in the theatres there were no toilet facilities and people relieved themselves outside.

Instead Today, you have a lot of entertainment to choose from. Today's audiences can choose television, movies, or stage shows, and there is a different kind of behavior that is right for each one.
Television audiences are the most casual; they don't have to dress up, they don't have reserved seats, and they can talk or go to the fridge whenever they want. People who go and see theatre usually pay more for a ticket than they would for a movie, and are most often annoyed by any disturbance. A theatre performance is not something you put on DVD and play back on your DVD player; it's like seeing a basketball game live: there aren't any instant replays. It requires your full attention, and you don't want to be interrupted by other people talking and moving.
Besides today we can sit also in the pit but it is more expensive than sit in the galleries, more far you are less you pay.
