Does anyone else wish that the producers would offer a season pass to shows? You know how in the summer you can get a season pass to some theme park...pay a fee and go as often as you want all summer long. I'd be willing to pay two or three hundred dollars if it meant that I could go see my favorite show as many times as I felt like it during a 2 or 3 month period.
Maybe a bit unrealistic, but we can fantasize. I sure would have liked to have had one for "Cry-Baby" (I'm ducking as I prepare to have rotten tomoatos thrown at me). I'd also buy one for "Xanadu" and absolutley would want one for "Hair".

I wouldn't so much want to see the same shows, but I would like producers to offer a season pass in that you could pay one price and see four shows, much like a season subscriber in many theaters.

I'm with Goth.
I normally don't see shows more than once. I have to Fly to NYC. I am not going to fly in and see the same show every time I am there when there is so much to see on and off Broadway. If I want to see a show a second time, I will catch it on tour. (Which I have done with a few shows)

That's interesting--perhaps not a pass, but something that gives a bulk discount to tickets. Why not reward the loyal theater-goers, and encourage people who otherwise would only see a couple shows to see them more frequently?
For example, sell a 4 show pass of full price tickets to participating shows for $250. You pay up front and can reserve the tickets as much as 2 weeks in advance, and all tickets must be used within 6 months or something. It would get those marginal buyers who usually only go to one once in a while to end up going more frequently.

Posted: 9/11/08 at 3:20pmI was thinking maybe say it four shows have the same producers they can offer to those four shows. So I think Rent, In The Heights, [TOS], and Avenue Q have the same producers so you can have a season pass to those shows. You can see them whenever you want but after the first time you have to pay like 20 bucks or something.

I like the idea of having a pass to shows by the same producers too. I never thought of it until moving to NYC...as when I lived in DC, rarely was there a show with an open ended run- (I can only think of "Shear Madness"). I think I would enjoy the option most for the shows that are just a great time...a fun way to spend your day off etc. No matter how many times I see something, I can always find something new.
