I was a member of Play-by-Play 15 years ago (when you had to call on the phone) and it was a good deal.  I saw tons of shows for something like $3 a reservation.  

I joined again this year and I am really surprised to see that for almost all most Broadway shows the cost is now $75+ reservation fees for EACH TICKET!

For example:  Miss Saigon is up right now for $80 a ticket + a $4.50 reservation fee....  

I understand that the money is going to the Actors fund and it's a great cause, but I wish I would have known this is what they are charging now.  I would have never wasted the money and signed back up.

It's not $75 fees per ticket, that's because it's specifically an Actors Fund performance. There are extra charges when it's an event like that. All the other tickets for Broadway shows I've seen (for regular performances) have the usual fee of $4.50.
