"It’s about time: ROM reduces admission fees to semi-reasonable levels"

I have some suggestions for ROM (if it is still open to suggestions).

The ROM is too big for one visit. And often, with city life's busy schedule, a visit might only be one or two hours. But coming back for a second visit to "finish off" seeing something make the total cost too high. Hence, my suggestion is ... allow next day re-entry, or allow one or two more re-entry within one month.

This will certainly cost more to administer as personal identification will be necessary. But it will be perceived as better value for the money.

Another idea is to offer discounted ticket price when the time is 2 to 3 hours before closing. This is for people who are in the area, have a few hours to spend, but find paying full price for just an hour or two to be too pricey.

Closing at 5:30pm is too early. It is like bank hours. With the banks learning to extend their hours to be more convenient to the banking needs of their customers, the museum should do some research and see if they can do something similar. There is a large population of office workers and young condo dwellers just a few subway stops away. There might be opportunity for ROM to create a new category of ticket targeting this population - to visit the ROM after work and before dinner.

Hi Pixo,

Those are all great suggestions.

I particularly agree on staying open later. 9 to 5 is great for school groups and tourists, but not very handy for many other potential visitors.
