Warriors tix? — Page 4

I don't quite understand the blowback from most of you on the ticket prices. There are $99 tickets for those who have shallower pockets on most weekdays. With the current economy and inflation, these prices seem right in line with most major attractions such as music concerts, major sporting events, tickets to amusement parks, etc. The prices will come down after the original cast leaves. You have lotto options.

I see we're back to crowing about ticket prices on Broadway. Yawn. Some of ya'll really believe this is all a non-profit.

Anyway...noticed they changed the artwork. I didn't know this show was about a motorcycle gang which is what the patch is giving. They've already used 3x visual markers for this show (Subway map, token, patch) and it only just went on sale? Tell-tale sign that the ad agency is struggling with the producers/creatives as to what the show actually is now that it's more than an album. Kind of interesting given Jeffrey Seller took this show back to SpotCo to work with Drew Hodges again after moving everything over to RPM back in 2017/18.

The new art is absolutely hideous. There's something a bit MAGA about it to me. I really liked the subway artwork.

I don’t think that artwork is going to work. Won’t be surprised if it changes again before opening.

Why are you behaving as though this is the only show with$400+ tickets?

Last week the following shows all had tickets priced at $400+:

• HAMILTON
• OTHER DESERT CITIES
• OH MARY
• JUST IN TIME
• ROCKY HORROR
• MINCEMEAT
• A FEW GOOD MEN

Broadway is not a charity. It does not owe anyone the opportunity to get cheap seats in the best part of the orchestra for what might be the most hotly anticipated new musical in years. There are other price points out there, there are two rows of rush seats in the orchestra, there’s the $79 ticket initiative"

Multiple things can be true at the same time. It is currently not the most expensive ticket on Broadway. The average ticket price does not appear to beout of line with the rest of the industry.

It is also true there was a $150 minimum spend to get a ticket. Some have claimed there were a couple performances that started at $99, I did not see any as I looked for tickets at the start of the presale. $150 minimum spend from the day tickets went on sale. That was not the case with a single show on your list. That wasn't the case with Hamilton. It wasn't even the case for Other Desert Cities.

I hasten to add this theatre is hundreds and hundreds of seats larger than any other show on that list. $150 for the last row of the theatre. The comp in the Lyceum is spending $150 to sit inside the Walgreens across the street. A bad seat is a bad seat. The Lunt Fontanne has a decent number of bad seats. Does it make sense, or is it just,to sell a bad seat at what is essentially premium pricing? What premium experience can they offer in that case?

The $79 ticket initiative is also unclear. It did not appear they were holding any tickets back on the seat maps I saw. Are there seats saved for $79? How many per performance? Without any actual information around the program, the $79 price band is a public-relations-mirage. I also again think it's ridiculous you have to enter a lottery to spend the cost of what is, in any other case, a full price ticket. (I feel differently about Mince, they have regular affordable options along with that lottery.) But that's me."





Check the weekday shows for $99.



It looks like solid sales out of the gate at all pricepoints. If you want the $99, might want to get them. They will be first to go, I 'd wager. I was just looking at some $99 for March 31. There were exactly 24 seats at that price open when I first looked. Now, about 2 hours later, there is 10 left at that price. Guessing some scalpers are eating up the cheaper ones.

Creative directors LOVE to go "tactile" with artwork. The number of rooms I've sat in when that word is thrown around lol. This feels obviously placeholder, but in the scheme of brand building, none of it makes sense. Ultimately, this is a bit inside baseball bc this show isn't going to live or die on the artwork.

The album artwork was certainly more striking and had the W icon built in already and could have evolved from there to build the world. Sometimes the best answer is the easy one.

I remain interested in seeing how this does. Maybe it'll be brilliant, but the album didn't exactly blow everyone's mind. Well-made, sure. But it's not like LMM is doing anything particularly new here. Culturally, he's also saturated the masses through Disney and Hamilton, so curious to see if there are signs of fatigue. Especially when not-insignificant corners of the internet do not like him.

I agree with critics of the artwork. The album cover was good, the subway cars were OK, the latest incarnation makes me think it’s a show about motorcycle gangs. That said, I also agree this is mostly inside baseball.

There will be plenty of people lying in wait for this musical. I doubt its commercial prospects, given the need for it to be a massive hit for years to recoup. It’s not as audience-friendly as his two previous Broadway musicals. It’s somewhat impressive that a gender-swapped adaptation of a cult movie from 1979 without any celebrities is selling so well, but that’s the draw of Miranda - at least before previews start. For all the complaints about Miranda, he’s the main draw of this show (as much as I’m excited to see some of the cast). And who knows? Despite my skepticism, I didn’t want to miss it.

As for ticket prices, I make those decisions all the time. I may skip the touring production of The Outsiders, which I haven’t seen yet, because it’s selling so well that prices are awfully high. $155 for the back of the orchestra in the Orpheum in San Francisco? Meh. Maybe I will see it for less on my NYC trip in April. I avoid the celebrity plays on Broadway that cost a fortune too.
