If you were richer than the groundlings you would pay as much as half a crown to sit in the galleries. The reason why these are better are because they are covered so if it is wet or rains they wont get wet, where as if you were poorer you would stand in the pit which surrounded the stage so if it rains the pit is not covered. The poorer people were called the groudlings and paid one penny to get in and watch the performances.
