Forever, many residents here complained that there was not such a venue available here in The Villages. Now that there is, perhaps not everyone can afford to go. That's how it is in many things. Just because you can't afford it or won't, doesn't mean that they should try and accommodate you and everyone else with free stuff.

There's lots of things I don't feel I can afford or simply don't wish to pay the price. Why should I begrudge those who can or do choose to spend their monies any way they want? I don't and I shouldn't. My feeling is, "Good for them. Go for it. It's your money, you earned it and along with that, you earned the right to decide how you want to spend it."

"Funding for the Arts in The Villages comes from successful capitalism."

Sounds like it is coming from some government agency, I guess the arts are just for people who have money or get firsts on tickets at the Sharon.
