Minimum wage for an opera ticket

Wow, I was just looking for an opera or ballett to visit at the Zürich Opera. I did find several pieces I would like to pay a visit and enjoy. But after klicking on "order tickets" my eyes has grown a bit... The tickets are almost sold out for months and most of them cost more than the minimum wage in Hungary or a roundtrip airplane ticket from Swiss! (appr. 250 EUR +/-) I wonder where people even in Switzerland get that great fortune to spend on an opera visit!
There are few tickets for 30 Eur, but just few and for places you can't really enjoy anything. I had the pleasure to visit some performances in different theatres in different countries from different kind of seats and I can tell, it makes a great difference! [a lot of "different" here ;-)] 30 EUR is too much for a "live youtube" experience. At least they would have a student, senior or any kind of similar discount (as they have in theatres and cinemas).

Well, I'm a bit disappointed :-( I guess I have to get rich to enjoy more quality culture... 20 years to go...
