With over thirty-seven New York City Broadway showrooms and each Broadway show commonly performs eight performances a week (generally two on Sundays and shows are closed on Mondays), the show and ticket options they abound for the average audience in Broadway theaters.
The actual total number of Broadway performances per week is about three hundred shows, representing a total number of ticket sales for all Broadway shows at approximately $ 20 million per week.
The number of tickets sold weekly is 255,000, which is equivalent to almost 13 million sold per year, which is a large number of tickets. All of this data puts the average price of a Broadway show ticket at $ 98, obviously some sell for much higher than that, but 72% of Broadway tickets actually sell for less than that amount, at times significantly lower.
To put this in context, the New York Giants play sixteen soccer games per regular season and their stadium seats 80,000 people, making their annual ticket sales only 1.3 million tickets, making the volume of ticket sales for Broadway is ten times greater than ticket sales for the New York Giants.
Given the large number of Broadway tickets sold each year, it is not surprising that buying tickets to a Broadway show can be completely confusing, given that tickets are available in many forms and sources. Adding to the confusion is the era of the Broadway industry and, as in any aging industry, the inability of waitress broadway review producers and theaters to advance the implementation and integration of new technology in Broadway ticket sales. . The result is a disparate set of Broadway show ticket sources that both Broadway show producers and Broadway show fans end up hating.
Broadway shows don't seem to be cheap, but when you compare the price of watching a movie (currently $ 20 in New York City) to a live Broadway performance of some amazing Broadway stars (or often Hollywood), it's just a few yards away in front of you for around $ 100, it's clear that Broadway theater prices are in the right stadium, albeit with some aberrations.
Basically, Broadway show tickets come in three forms: full price from the official source, discounted Broadway tickets from a bid promotion company, and a broker after-sale.
Full price (or face value) tickets: These are Broadway tickets that are priced by the producer of the Broadway show and are sold at their standard face value through the official source of tickets, usually Ticketmaster or Telecharge (but never both due to union rules at the theater) These tickets are usually offered for sale one year in advance.
