Why is Jersey Boys at 63.5% paid attendance, but there seems to be limited tickets available? I got a ticket for 10 Nov 05 last week and there were only a few seats left. This Saturdays' performances are sold out. Are they giving out alot of COMP tickets? Is the show just starting to get hot?

Last week was heavily comped because of press performances. Not sure about this week...although the show did do a very respectable $400,000 after opening.

I was wondering the same thing.
I saw it 2nd week of previews, on a Tuesday night, and the theatre was virtually packed, but it was listed at about 50 something %.
The reviews are great, and the word of mouth (and net) are even greater, so I hope to see some really decent figures for this show soon.

I think it will stay on broadway for atleast a year.
