Think you can keep a straight face while watching your favorite comedian？Now，the comedy club named Teatre in Barcelona is betting you can't.The club is even basing its ticket prices on how often it can make you laugh.It's said you can get into the club show for free，but every laugh will cost you 38 cents more.Would you like to deliberately keep from laughing in order to save money?
The Teatre club has equipped facialrecognition technology on the back of its chairs.It can track how much each person in their theatre has enjoyed the show.The system was developed by advertising agency The Cyranos McCann，after Teatre asked them to think up a way to increase ticket sales.
A number of people have tried to sit through a comedy show without laughing in an attempt to get a free ticket，but they all failed.Using the new system，the average ticket price per person has so far been $7.58.It seems the pricing system has caught__on，with other theatres in Spain now copying the payperlaugh technology.
