Like so many things in Toronto, the AGO thinks it's way better than it is, and it charges accordingly. Admission is far too expensive, as are memberships for what you get. I have had a membership for a couple of years mostly because I liked to use the members lounge to work in, but recently every time I go I can't even get in to the lounge because there is a waiting list--even in the middle of the afternoon on weekdays. They have obviously sold far too many memberships without expanding their capability to serve those members. Seriously, what is the point of paying for "exclusive" access to a members lounge that you can't even get into? And once you're in you have to buy something (coffee, drink--forget the food, like everything else it is waaaayyy overpriced) or the servers give you dirty looks. I won't be renewing my membership. Oh and they also have a new bully, sorry, security person at the entrance checking tickets who enforces the bag policy and is suuuper rude and arrogant (I actually overheard him say to one customer "Come over here and talk to me, I'm not going to come over to you.") WTF?? Lose the attitude, AGO, you ain't all that.
