What would you rather as a prize; Tickets or vouchers?

Hi all,

I want to be very careful and upfront here because I represent a London-based theatre website but I'm genuinely not wanting to advertise here.

I'm wondering what you guys would find more compelling as a prize in an online contest - vouchers for a booking site (such as broadway.com or Telecharge) or tickets to a top Broadway show. Is there one you are more likely to enter?

Would love to hear what you guys think. Thanks!

When you say a "top Broadway show" do you mean a specific one, or one of the winner's choosing?

If it's any show of the winner's choosing, then I guess I'd prefer that over a voucher, since a voucher to Telecharge would limit me to Telecharge shows.

But if you mean a specific show that's decided upon ahead of time, then I'm less likely to enter. I would need to know that it's a show I haven't already seen, or that I'd have a choice of shows.

Also, as a slight sidenote, I would discourage against Broadway.com, as they charge ludicrously high fees, to the point where I basically consider it a scam ticketing service. If I already had a voucher from Broadway.com I would, of course, put it to use. But if I could choose between a voucher to Broadway.com vs. a voucher to Telecharge, Ticketmaster, or even TodayTix, I'd choose any of the others.

Definitely a voucher for Telecharge, Ticketmaster, or TodayTix. The flexibility is nice and, if for some reason something else catches the winner’s eye on Ticketmaster (like a concert), they can use it on that

Depends on a couple of variables. When I look at the raffles that TDF periodically runs, they almost always offer tickets to shows that I've either already seen, or have no interest in seeing. (And the winner can't pick which show they would prefer.) That would lead me to answer that I would prefer a voucher to be used for the show/date/time/seat location that I select myself, subject to the price limit of the voucher. However, if your connections enable you to offer me great house seats that might otherwise be beyond the price range of the voucher, for a show that I really want to see, then that would be preferable.
