Ticket Pricing...
Sun, 30 Apr 2000, 03:02 pmI know that you'll all have a 1000 answer's to this one but still.....
I'd like to complain about the price of musical tickets these days, $16/17 for an adult!! I know that the prices of rights etc etc have gone up but really this is getting a bit much. Trying to convince my non theatre friends to pay this is like trying to pull teeth. As one told me last week for this price I could, see a movie, get into a club and have a drink, buy a good bottle of wine or several 100 other things all of which she thought might be more fun than an amature musical. Another friend who would get the student rate said he really couldn't afford $15 for one show, for this he could see 2 movies at Luna Cinemas. My own father thinks he is being ripped off!
I think perhaps the fact that Assassins sold out plus more on 1/2 price night might say somthing.
Some-one has to complain.....

Thu, 11 May 2000, 07:03 pmChook tickets - special offer 2 for 1 - do work, although you stll get the bod at the box office who wants a refund on his ticket and get it for for half price, because his freind could not use the free one. If you are happy about the hassles and confussion sufered by others - go for it, anything is worth a try.
No matter how good or great your production is in a lot of cases we come back to the old marquee banner ddiscussion - Presented by ...(amature)..... - sure to comply with performances rights and liscencing you have to state who is producing the show - but there are ways and ways and ways of side stepping if you try hard.
Besides going back to the BOS's demographics, there are other things you can try, use the local media (a package is not over exspensive) and is very worthwhile, inovative promotions (we are in theatre !?!?) and there is many old drumming activies that can come into play.
One thing I would like to know from those thaetres that have moved to one of these Performing Arts Centres, has the BOS"s increased because of the venue or not?
