1c for a poor person
Mostly 5-6 pennies.
The best seats are the boxes where the richer people sat in those days and they cost about a shilling.
The cheapest place to watch a play in the Globe Theatre was actually the "Pit," which is where most people stood. The "Pit" was the area around the stage where people could just gather around. It cost only a penny to get in to see the play, and those who could afford it sat in covered seats, but those seats were more expensive.

It would cost a penny for the standing room at the Globe Theatre in Elizabethan time.

the globe theater cost £1093 to build in 1599....
