| agree. It is worth remembering that Stark Sands does not make a living as a Broadway financial scholar. Just about anyone on this board who pays attention to such things knows that % capacity is about as poor a metric as any we have. I have no idea how they got more butts in the seats the last few weeks. If it was not on TKTS, maybe there were other discounts. Maybe they had robust group sales to the goth crowd. Maybe they papered heavily. Maybe they were selling rush tickets to anyone who asked. It doesn't matter because we know that it did not translate into average ticket prices that reflect any degree of success. Nowadays, anything sub-$100 is bad. And in no week did this show make it to that level. Sometimes you just have to acknowledge that mistakes were made. |
