Just as Mayor Bloomberg has been touting New York City 's affordable attractions, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has opened its own museum-like annex in SoHo - but for a whopping $26 per ticket.
That's more than the Met and MoMA - at $20 each. The Guggenheim's $18 and the Whitney's $15. You can even get to the top of the Empire State Building for $18.45.
And what's worse about that $26 ticket -- the price is set to go up to $28.18 as of December 2.
Maybe they should talk to the Sports Museum of America, which opened in May in the Financial District. It recently dropped its entry fee to $16 from $24.
“The new fee structure reflects consumer opinion on what is considered an acceptable cost in today’s economic climate in the New York City area,” Sports Museum officials said in a statement announcing the price cuts.
Still, the Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum is getting away with $35 tickets and the Ripley’s Odditorium is priced at $24.99.
