My stehplatz experiment was a complete failure. The seat in front of me was empty and the usher offered it to me on condition I give it back if the ticket holder eventually arrived. S/he didn't. It was an excellent seat; on the aisle in the fifth row of Ring 3. It had a notional price of $185. I paid $12. L'Amour du Loin was well worth a second look. I win at opera.
