'Charge'...

I bought a shirt from his store & had to pay him half the price.

Can I say-

He charged me half price of the shirt?

If it's wrong, please suggest a natural and idiomatic expression with 'charge'.


And also,

Is it right-

Each seat in the auditorium charges 150 dollars?

" is one way to say this. If you wanted to keep the seat as the subject of the sentence, you could say "Each seat in the auditorium goes for 150 dollars".
