With Hamilton, Lion King, Wicked Ticket Sales Slow, Broadway Isn't Back!

Comments on FB like this are very concerning: 

• They taught us to live without Broadway and so we did. Money better spent elsewhere.
• Tickets are not financially feasible....we would love to see shows but can't afford to bring a family of 4 for the price of these tickets
• Same here I have four kids. My husband not luke to go to trip
• A large percentage of people can’t go because they are not vaccinated. Plus who wants to wear masks for 3 hours- ruins the enjoyment.
• Unfortunately vaccine mandates, high prices and safety concerns being in and around Times Square is preventing Broadway’s comeback
• Who wants to sit in a packed theater with things the way they are right now. Especially at the price they want for tickets.
• vaccine mandates will kill broadway attendance. The second vaccine mandate is dropped you will see a flood of people.
• The Auto Show at Javitts has been canceled at the end of the month. Look to more large gatherings to cancel. NY Comic Con will fall next. Broadway won't work with a Delta surge.
• Nobody can pay $1500 for a ticket when they are on unemployment.
• we can thank the anti vaxxers and anti maskers for the lag in Broadway sales. They are deplorable.
• That's what happens when you decide to do vaccine passports. Cutting off at least 20 percent of potential business. I used to love Broadway but not anymore. Any show partaking in medical apartheid and then crying about lack of revenue deserves to go under. Free market rules all.
• the unvacinated aren't interested in the arts.
• No tourists no Broadway. new Yorkers too smart yo pay those high prices. . Eventually prices will come down but if your are tourist you have no choice nor knowing when you will back in city. Besides everyone saw it on Disney plus for 15 dollar
• People won't be bullied into having to be vaccinated to go see a show. We lived without Broadway for over a year...we will be just fine spending our money elsewhere
• $1000 for 2 tickets?… I’m going to Paris for the weekend thank you
• I love Broadway and miss going to shows. But I’m not ready to go back yet. Seats are so close together. People are forging vaccine cards. I don’t feel safe yet to go but maybe next summer
• Broadway also gets a lot of out of Towner's for performances. People are not traveling especially internationally

• The City not safe overall which leads to slow ticket sales. They still want to sale premium tickets for like $800 for like Hamilton. Wearing masks and showing vaccinated cards don’t help.

The sky if falling!

Most of these comments range from irrational, to completely nonsensical. 

Let's not quote nonsensical quotes from stupid people ever again, okay? 

Thanks.
