It was a bad week. Hopefully things can only go up next week!
I've always wondered how shows can have a capacity of over 100% like Merchant this week. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Posted: 11/22/10 at 3:39pm^ I'm assuming standing room does that.

Posted: 11/22/10 at 3:41pmThat makes a lot of sense. Didn't realize Merchant had standing room!

Blech.
They need to put AI out of its misery already.
#7Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/21
Posted: 11/22/10 at 3:49pmNo, it's not standing room. It's the sale of premium tickets.

Posted: 11/22/10 at 3:51pmSold premium tickets significantly raise a show's gross, it doesn't have an effect on its attendance.

Posted: 11/22/10 at 3:54pmNot trying to be a Debbie Downer, but I just don't understand why American Idiot hasn't posted a closing notice yet. I don't even know how they've managed to hold on this long.
I know you.

Is it bad that I hope, if American Idiot closes, that Encores! Bells are Ringing to go into the St. James? It's really a dumb idea, seeing as Kathleen Marshall is already booked on Anything Goes and Finian's Rainbow (an Encores transfer to the St. James) only ran for about three months. I will, however, keep dreaming the impossible dream.

"Sold premium tickets significantly raise a show's gross, it doesn't have an effect on its attendance."
That's not the issue. The original question asked how a show could exceed 100% of capacity. The answer is that capacity is based on the face value of the ticket (e.g. $147.00), and not the sale price of that ticket at a premium (say $350.00). That's how popular shows sell over 100% of gross capacity. It has little or nothing to do with standing room.

I answered the question assuming that CockeyedOptimist2
was referring to seating capacity.
#13Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/21
Posted: 11/22/10 at 4:16pmYes, I was referring to seating capacity too.
#14Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/21
Posted: 11/22/10 at 4:16pmThey weren't referring to its gross percentage, they are asking about how they got more than 100 percent of butts in seats you stupid idiot!
#15Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/21
Posted: 11/22/10 at 4:18pmJust to clarify, yes I was asking about seating capacity. But I am glad to have both questions answered! Thanks, all!

@wdwfreak
Well, when Merchant shows 103% of gross capacity, it's referring to dollars, not seats or attendance, so I'm not the stupid idiot, idiot.

"Capacity" refers to the amount of people in the theatre not $$$$, though. I think it's just a misunderstanding..

Posted: 11/22/10 at 4:26pmBut he was talking about the attendance percentage, not the gross percentage.
#20Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/21
Posted: 11/22/10 at 4:28pmWow, things can get snippy here so quickly. Forgive the apparently unclear question that caused this argument.
#21Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/21
Posted: 11/22/10 at 4:56pmI'm curious to know how it only played 5 shows last week. Or am I missing something about the schedule? Too many things have opened recently, and it is hard to keep them all straight.

#22Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/21
Posted: 11/22/10 at 4:58pmThat looks like it might be a typo, but maybe they were only scheduled for 5?
#23Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 11/21
Posted: 11/22/10 at 5:02pmI don't think it's a typo...the gross, total seats etc.. are all consistent with there only being 5 performances.

Maybe they took a lighter week last week in order to add in performances this week for Thanksgiving? That sounds plausible.
Edit: Nope, that's not it- they have the normal 7 performances next week.
