First thought I had as well. Unbelievable. This is, notably, the first week that indicates the show had a top ticket of $998 versus the previous $549 number.

Is the $998 for every week or just because it was a holiday week?

There's no way it's not a record.

I guess the #BoycottHamilton campaign by Trump supporters has yet to have an impact.

That School of Rock gross is very impressive.

The Hamilton numbers are made even more impressive when you see that they only did 8 shows last week-Most weeks where Wicked/Lion King have approached that number have been 9 show weeks. I'd imagine we'll see even higher numbers around Christmas/New Year

"This is, notably, the first week that indicates the show had a top ticket of $998 versus the previous $549 number."



Oh, wow! Yeah! Three cheers for a $998 top ticket price! That's so good for the theatre! And don't stop here! Let's see how much higher it can go! The sky's the limit!

And a couple of more cheers for the oodles of extra dough the thing is raking in.

Is this directed at me?

Yes, Wicked made $3.2 million Christmas week 2013 but with 9 performances, so I can't see this NOT being a record, as I said.

On another note, Great Comet is absolutely slaying.

Yes, its obnoxious....as it was when those tickets were released. Truth be told, I'm not sure which is more troubling: that they ASKED that much or that there are so many people ready and willing to PAY that much.

It’s an outrageously high ticket price—but people bought those tickets. It’s supply and demand. You can’t slam Hamilton for capitalizing on high demand.
