This isn't inherently true for all of ballet, that's just the cultural imprint ballet currently has in the mainstream.
I love going to the ballet, only discovered that about myself a few years ago after coming out. My friend is a ballet teacher at a local dance school, where the kids are having fun, not being treated like trash, and it costs a fraction as much for them to go to ballet school than for a kid to join hockey.
The theatre we have is a historic building, beautiful theatre, amazing ballets come here. And the tickets are dirt cheap. They usually give out free tickets to all the local nonprofits that work with critical neighbourhoods and underserved communities to hand out to people. Newcomers/migrants make up a large amount of the audience whenever my wife and I go.
When a new show comes there are also often a lot of kids--dance is super popular here.
The rich people here couldn't give a fuck about ballet for the most part. It doesn't actually have that type of cachet anymore. Only dedicated dancers and fans of dance go to these performances.
