>> Doesn't feel right though to make a distinction based on country of origin

If it is not right, why every country on earth is doing it?

[turtlebro]

Who else is doing it doesn't change the matter. Charging your guests more then your own? You don't think the morally correct thing is to charge them the same?

name one. I have traveled a lot and can’t say I can name one place where this is a thing. the closest I’ve seen is like tollroads that have different payments methods for residents vs non-residents :)

My travels through India frequently charged a much lower price for Indian citizens/residents, vs tourists with foreign passports for tickets to museums/temples/etc. The fee to foreigners was not exorbitant when compared my salary back home but would have been unaffordable to someone earning a local Indian salary.

ha! interesting! i’ve never been to india!

USA. Requirements for entry visa are based on country of origin as well as price.

[bdangubic]

entry visa requirements and fees are vastly different than charging different prices for entering a museum...

[ponector]

Different entry fees to the country based on origin is ok while different entry fees to the museum are not?

Also prices in steam are based on country of origin as well.

yea, if you are coming from a sketchy area we may have to do a bit more research to allow you in. if louvre’s admissions are based on running background checks perhaps I’d go along with it :)
