Update: AIN'T NO MO extended thru December 23! Yay!

Per an email from Telecharge.

I had tickets too. Heart breaking.

Unless it tells you at checkout, the show is still on sale past the 18th.

Apparently ticket holders received this email from Telecharge.

Sometimes the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing - or can't do it quickly enough.

I'm deeply sad this didn't find an audience, it was stunning and poignant and incredible. I wish more people had given this a chance. Damn. 

This is insane. It will have run just over a month. I feel terrible for all of the creatives involved.

Jordan Cooper is trying to start a "save our show" campaign after everyone with tickets after December 18 have been emailed that their tickets have been canceled.

I'm wondering with both Ain't No Mo and KPOP if the creative teams had announced we need people to buy a bunch of tickets right now or we'll have to close the show in a week, that strategy would have more impact? Once people are actually refunded, there's no putting the toothpaste back in the tube.”

Jordans post leads me to believe they weren’t consulted. Him saying they were “evicted” makes me think this came as a surprise and announced prior to trying to make a plan. 

 

Producers often phrase a closing announcement to the cast like "if we don't increase sales significantly we will close on X date." Rarely does a closing notice ever get rescinded.

"Eviction" is also an overstatement; I'm sure, like any closing, was a business decision made by the producer. A nudge from the theatre owner, yes, but I'm sure Shubert would let them run through Jan 1 if they had the funds to do so –– which they obviously don't, unless Lee Daniels wants to throw money into the sea.

The average ticket price was $21.36  but on social media, Jordan Cooper was claiming the average ticket price to Ain't No Mo is $50. Either there's two different sets of criteria being used to determine the average, or there actually might be some disconnect with Cooper on what the business side looks like.   

Regardless of the specifics, for sure it's common sense that the worst selling show on Broadway is not going to be on Broadway for very long.

I think the average ticket price that's reported with the weekly grosses includes comp tickets, which naturally brings down the average price per ticket.  I suspect Cooper is referring to something like the average price that was paid for non-comp tickets.
