It depends which theatre the play is playing in, and which production it is. Clearly you'll pay more to see Sir Ian McKellen play King Lear than Mort the Butcher in the local amateur company.

Who were William shakespeares audiences?

At The Globe William Shakespeare's audience were very mixed. Standing places at The Globe cost 1d (one penny) and with a working man earning anything between 2d and 4d a day this meant that even working people could go to the theatre occasionally. At The Globe ordinary working people stood in front of the stage, while rich merchants or guildsmen (professionals: doctors, lawyers, jewellers &c) occupied the seats and the boxes. Towards the end of Shakespeare's career the Kings Men opened a second theatre - Blackfriars - which was indoors, and where the cheapest seats were 6d. This was too expensive for a working man, so the theatre started to become more exclusive once the Blackfriars theatre was open.
