I wish we had info for this

Lmao, I spoke to the guy who does that stuff before. He said "VERY well." So, I guess it isn't moving anytime soon.

Then why aren't they selling tickets past January 2018? Is it because the Chicago set is going to become the 2NT?

COULD be:

1. They are buying RESALE (where the seller sets the price.)

2. They are buying tickets for a future date, and therefore not yet come into play. In other words, tickets for 400+ performances haven't happened yet.

Nope, neither of these apply. Someone posted about buying a premium ticket on Telecharge for the evening show on Saturday, 7/22. He paid $464 ($450 + fees). As far as what I've seen with my own eyes, there were some $425 tickets available on Telecharge for the matinee on 7/22, and I'm assuming that they sold at that price, since they were gone relatively quickly. I'll go with HogansHero's reason, that they just didn't bother to adjust the number.

Here's a screenshot of Telecharge:

I've been monitoring DEH for weeks and I keep seeing all manner of strangeness. If you look at the show's Event Overview page on Telecharge, it says "Price Range: $119.00 - $199.00", but when seats show up within the 4-days-prior range, they're routinely priced around $325-450. One day during the past week, I even saw seats on Telecharge priced at $825, which is awfully close to Hamilton territory.

The issue is that BroadwayWorld hasn't updated DEH's top ticket price on its Grosses (which is not unusual). No other conspiracy theory.

Do you think it's BWW or the Broadway League, which actually compiles the data? Or possibly (and I think you've actually said this before), maybe it's the folks who provide the data to the League.

An interesting irony is that this past week, the percentage of potential weekly gross of DEH was higher than Hamilton's. Of course, that's only a result of Hamilton's potential gross being so high because of its incredibly high ticket prices.

Broadway League DEH Grosses

If I had to hazard a guess it would be that whoever is supplying the numbers to the League just hasn't remembered to change the price of premiums on the form from $397 to $499. Means nothing, of course.



"

as has been repeatedly rehearsed here, the box office does its report and it then filters up the path to the GM, the League, and the media. Since no one cares about the top ticket price (it does not figure in any calculation, including those of interest to investors or those in the royalty pool) it is not always accurate.

No one is giving comet deserved credit for being extremely re-watchable, I'd argue the most rewatchable on Broadway. And stop obsessively betting on the next show to fail it's not cute.

Talking about shows closing isn't the same as wishing shows to close...and even if it was....so what?



Shows open, shows close....most as flops. Talking about it is part of the biz.
