Yes. There were things called penny seats that were spots to stand in. Often times, penny seats were rowdy and noisy. That is why they were so cheap.
At the time, the Globe Theatre would have cost over 1000£ to build. However keeping in mind that 1000£ was worth much more at the time, than it is today.
Tickets in the Pit cost five pounds. In the galleries it's more like 32 pounds. If you want tickets or more info about the theatre, there's an attached link.
A globe is a sphere... unlike the Globe theatre which is circular, or more accurately a ring.
Yes, Its a lot more main-stream now, more tourist's and what not, mainly english philosiphers.
At the Old Globe Theatre, balcony seats typically cost around six pence, which was a more affordable option compared to the higher-priced seats in the more prestigious areas. This pricing made the theatre accessible to a broader audience, allowing a mix of social classes to enjoy performances. The cost reflected the seating's location and view, with balcony seats offering a less direct experience of the stage compared to the front rows.
No it wasn't. The ancient Greeks and Romans built very effective outdoor theatres many of which are in use today, 1500 years and more before the Globe was built in 1599. But the Globe was not even the oldest theatre in Britain which was intended as a theatre not just an innyard. The Theatre in Shoreditch, built 1576, was the first. Newington Butts, The Curtain, The Rose, The Swan and the Blackfriars all were built before The Globe.
Groundlings paid a penny to stand around the stage. Seats went for three pence in the galleries. Lords Rooms cost more.
Yes. It was where all the rich people sat, and the poor people had to stand at the bottom. Although I would have prefered to be at the bottom... a better view!

The globe theatre was circular shaped, and there was no real reason for it being the shape it was, just a design, I think.. :D It did have a cut out roof though, to let the actors have more of an 'open air' performance.
The Globe Theatre was the home of the Lord Chamberlain's Men (afterwards known as the King's Men) from 1599 to 1642. Shakespeare was associated with this group until his retirement in 1613, which means he played at the Globe more than any other theatre.
