Technically, no one bought a ticket to "Julius Caesar." The Free Shakespeare in Central Park series is totally free and has always been--the catch was for a long time that you had to go to the box office in Central Park earlier in the day, brave the long lines and perhaps get a ticket. However, the Public Theater is now distributing them in other locations, including their home space in the East Village, rotating locations in all of NY's boroughs and an online lottery through the TodayTix app (which also does day-of-performance lotteries for all of the Public's shows).
