One of the main topics being discussed by Russian bloggers today is the price of tickets to the Bolshoi Theatre.
The venue is re-opening next week after a six-year refurbishment.
One online ticket broker had the best seats in the house for opening night available at a price of two million rubles ($67,000).
For that kind of money you could buy a very smart sports car or even a small apartment.
The web ticket service says it is all a big mistake, and the price was a technical glitch.
The Bolshoi Theatre insists that first night tickets are not available anyway – a seat to the show is by invitation only.
