For the ticket prices to drop, the production values would need to follow. Do we want to return to c




Yet one of the most common complaints melbourne serviced apartments I still hear at meetings regarding the problems of Broadway and the theater in general is that tickets are too expensive and if we could only fix that, the theater would be restored to its past glory!
A recent scan of the web found me a pair of Bon Jovi tickets for a top price of $129.50 in Wisconsin (something tells me people in Milwaukee may earn less than people in New York City so $129.50 might feel like a heck of a lot more to them).
Our ticket prices are not out of line. They are even cheap by some comparisons (something tells me those $400 Yankees tickets will go faster than premiums to A Catered Affair ). And most Producers (as they should) have a small allocation of much lower priced seats to offer those who can't afford the high priced options (lotteries, rush, etc.)
Your customers will pay top dollar plus for an experience that they believe is worth it. Your job is to make the value of your ticket seem even higher than the price your customer is paying so it seems like they got a bargain.
The day of the $1,000 theater ticket will be here some day, and as depressing melbourne serviced apartments as that sounds, don't worry. It'll still be less than what a lot of people pay for tickets to the Super Bowl or The Kentucky Derby.
I think a key is to remember that for most shows, you CAN get the cheaper tickets. Sadly, many people are out-priced when it comes to top tickets, but that doesn t mean they can t get a seat somewhere. Plus, on Broadway, the discount ticket is pretty standard. Even if the top ticket melbourne serviced apartments is $125, that doesn t mean you can t find it for $60-90 with a little hunting.
For the ticket prices to drop, the production values would need to follow. Do we want to return to canvas sets or give up the magic of sets moving melbourne serviced apartments on and off without stage hands in view (that was truly a special effect to me when I saw my first show at 18).
I can t judge theatre tickets when I have spent far more money on other things (Justin Timberlake s VIP Lounge experience anyone?) but I will say that if better experiences were offered on (and off) Broadway, I d drop the cash (or credit card) in a snap. If I want it, I ll pay. There s never such a thing as too expensive.
