YUP.

I love the theatre I understand it's a tough business and you gotta make this money while you can as fast as you can

But making these shows like this impossible for real fans and especially young people to attend is gonna bite them in the ass...

In fact it already has.

You gotta give a block out to schools, churches, community groups. Make them un resell able. With IDs and signatures.

I'm not paying 900.

I could go 200 each.

Sidebar... I'm legit shocked there are no bootleg Broadway videos that pop up ever.

if i every get into non profit again or cone into some serious money that is an organization I would start with Broadway.

Teaching kids theatre craft. Not just acting but all aspects stage crew effects sound choreography production sales etc.

And making sure affordable tickets were mandatory.

Everything Kandi touch turn to gold. It's crazy

 

[knightmelodic]

Neither one of these guys ever gives a bad performance. I don't care for shakespeare otherwise I would have gone. I saw Denzel in Raisin and he was just as good as you'd expect.

oh and I know shepard is just trying to get some crumbs by shooting off her mouth but she really needs to stfu

Can’t even lie, might try and make a visit to NYC this summer for this.

Denzel saying that about an actor kind of gets you in the feels. Denzel is a national treasure.

This shit is fucking ridiculous I mean goddamn ridiculous

I'm so torn on this but your right.

WHO are they catering too?

Because stuff like this means you cannot complain when Broadway goes in to a big slump because even tourists cant affird it and locals don't even consider it a viable option.

They are going to lose a generation

They gotta try for the Hamilton model

You also have to understand that this is the resale market. We don't know what the original tickets sold for, but something has to be done to reel in the resale market, because it's ridiculous.

I got tickets to go to Bruno Mars in Vegas on May 21st. I'm flying in, going to the Bruno Mars concert and flying home the next day. The tickets were $500, which is cheap compared to the comps, because I was one single seat squeezed in between 2 groups. All of the seats around me are $700 and up

Tick pick and their fee-less price is good, But the resale market is still trash
