"While personally it might mean something to you, I don't see the point in publishing the it or reading others. It has no meaning."
It's called curiosity. Some have it on this topic; others don't. Much like everything on this site.

I think it is an interesting question so I will answer it.
I probably spent about $1200 on tickets and saw about or 15-16 shows. Only one of those show, It's Only a Play, was full price $150 and the rest were discounted or TDF. Most inexpensive was This Is Our Youth at $39.
I wish it could have been more, but when you add up transportation/parking if I drive in, eating, etc, NYC commerce does very well on my love of theater.

Posted: 12/26/14 at 12:31pmI think this is an interesting topic. I saw 41 Broadway shows this year (23 different shows, other were repeated). Most tickets I purchased were student/rush/lottery but I splurged on a few shows to take my parents/family to including the lion king, hedwig and cabaret, all of which were full price. I spent about $2,500 for the year (yikes!). I agree, Broadway is a very expensive habit. haha

Posted: 12/26/14 at 1:56pmJust a reminder to everyone: if you're in any way involved in the entertainment industry you can write off all of your theater ticket purchases. It can be a bit complicated but it's worth it and will potentially save you a fortune if you go to the theater as often as most people on this board do.

Posted: 12/26/14 at 2:32pmNot showing off JoseLee just your way of finding pleasure--the hours preparing, the pre show excitement, the talking about after then thinking about and the memories whenever you feel up or down---what a harmless and wonderful way to spend your money--hope 2015 will bring you as much pleasure and bugger the bank account !

@SweetLips thank you. I'm homeschooled and have no friends.. haha sad but true. Stage dooring and talking to other theatre geeks makes me so happy!
Happy Holidays to everyone :)

I spent $1,099 on theatre tickets last year, but a vast majority of that was buying tickets for other people to see the show/s I'm working on.

My best tix deal in 2014 was a $54 Ready Pass at a local theater that allowed me to see a local production of Les Miz 10x! It was a very good production too!
