纽约大都会博物馆三月起改变售票模式
号称世界三大博物馆之一的大都会博物馆，以前一直是志愿买票，游客可以任意付款，但是建议的票价是25美元。但是，从三月开始，对于纽约州以外的游客，需要付25美元的门票。
但是2017年，只有17%的游客出25美元买票。而在2004年，有63%的游客按照建议的票价付款。
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.
