While $125 is expensive, it costs even more to join a temple. At our temple, that is the only way you can get High Holiday tickets, unless you have special needs, are of limited income, etc. Full membership can be as much as $5000/year not including hebrew school, etc.
For Christians, think of it this way- we don't give every week. We give upfront or pay for tickets. That is the equivalent of the collection plate.
