Those Scandelous numbers look really fishy... Did the producers buy out tickets that weren't sold to make up for sales?? Or is business actually increasing?

If they did, then they didn't actually go. It's still in the 35% range. Updated On: 12/3/12 at 03:36 PM

Regarding Scandalous: After weeks of giving away tickets and having an average ticket price of less than $35, I think the producers just clamped down "on the discounts."
The 33% of the audience is the same but the ticket price is way up. Smart business move. Besides most of the "giveaway ticket people" as those on here have been bad mouthing the show anyway.

I was thinking they may have had a couple of good theatre parties at Scandalous.

Maybe the money they said was being put into the production went to buying tickets?

Feel sorry for anyone who paid that $90 average ticket price to see Scandalous. regardless, it still isn't making it's weekly nut and is playing(on average) to audiences of just over 500 people a night.

Scandalous had a very generous points offer on Audience Rewards in previews, about 5000 or 6000 per full price ticket $125 and above. You could have had your guilty pleasure AND turned the points into $20 tickets for a number of other shows.
