紐約大都會博物館三月起改變售票模式
號稱世界三大博物館之一的大都會博物館，以前一直是誌願買票，遊客可以任意付款，但是建議的票價是25美元。但是，從三月開始，對於紐約州以外的遊客，需要付25美元的門票。
但是2017年，隻有17%的遊客出25美元買票。而在2004年，有63%的遊客按照建議的票價付款。
But the Met said, only 17% of the people who visited the museum last year paid the full $25. And that percentage has been in a steep decline. Back in 2004, for example, 63% of visitors were willing to fork over the full suggested donation.
The current pay-as-you-wish policy will stay in place for all New Yorkers and students from Connecticut and New Jersey, though they'll now need to provide some ID or proof of address before entering the exhibits.
Children under the age of 12 will get free admission, and senior citizens from out of state will be charged $17.
The Met is one of the largest art museums in the world and a top New York City tourist attraction.
Though some travelers may be put off by the new admission fee, the rule change will bring the Met more in line with its local competitors.
A $25 admission fee for adults is already mandatory at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Guggenheim Museum.
