Who's buyin' the tickets?

In a thread about the Dirty Dancing tour, jennamajig notes:
> My mom would love it.

And that leads me to wonder: what's the latest reading on who's buying the tickets, on-Broadway?

Is it theatre lovers like the people who hang out on here?

Or is it Jenna's mom?

(Clearly, I know, it's a mix; my perception is to assume it's about 70/30 "mom's", but I'm curious whether anyone's got better numbers...)

Oh, my... it certainly is, isn't it?

Nice get; thanks.

What a great blog...thanks for posting it.

Any talk about "who" is buying tix seem to come from Telecharge...which makes sense. They'd easily be able to tell from what zip codes the majority of tix are being purchased.

Interesting results...basically divided into 4 areas:
Manhattan residents
Borough residents (but only mentioned slightly)
Tri-State Suburban
Tourists.

I hate that Tri-State suburban division. There are a lot of parts of the Tri-State area that aren't considered suburbs and are very different, socioeconomically, from what is traditionally considered a suburb.
