Well, I've only ever seen three shows, and only one of them actually *ON* Broadway, the other two were national tours.
But, of those three shows (Millie, Dance Of The Vampires, and Phantom) I've seen Phantom a grand total of eight times now and am hoping to make it a LOT more this December when the tour comes back to Florida *YIPEE!*
Also, Les Mis is coming my way in either May or June, and I would like to go see that as well, hopefully more than once.
As for paying full price, I did pay full price for Millie. Some of my Phantom tix I've paid full price for, and some I've gotten one discount or another, although that was when I was NOT planning to go ahead of time (Four times I planned ahead and used Ticketmaster *Groans* the other five were not quite so well planned and tix at the box office . . . well . . . I look young lol.)
Dance of The Vampires, I got REALLY lucky and got two tickets for free from one of the cast members - including a back stage tour . . . thankfully, a few days before the show closed :'(
I think it's great to be supportive of Broadway. I also this it's wonderful to see a show more than once.
Some of you need to expand your horizons. Seeing one show repeatedly and nothing else (or little else) doesn't really make you theatrically literate and makes me reading some of your posts carry so little weight now...

Ah but Jack.....I have seen hundreds & hundreds of plays/musicals/Off-Broadway (and have boxes of Playbills to prove it) in addition to Multiple Experiences....and I am sure many of the posters responding to this topic can say the same
Thank you for asking. I have seen Dance of the Vampires 3 times, The Oldest Confederate Widow 5 times, Bobbi Boland 14 times, The Look of Love 23 times, and The Sound of Music 234,598 times.
Stop worrying about what I'm doing -- focus instead on what you're eating.
I saw Chess 14 times. I worked for the theater it was playing at in Sacramento. I saw Jekyll and Hyde about 15 times (LOVE LINDA!) and I saw RENT 5 times and CATS 12 times (WHY I will never know) Chicago every time I go to NYC it seems so let me see... maybe 6 times?
