How to sell tickets before they are on sale. | The Producer's Perspective

Ideas? They got a million of 'em!

How to sell tickets before they are on sale. | The Producer's Perspective:

'via Blog this'

Well, what do you know? It takes money to make money. A very insightful revelation that.

Will the info gleaned from this “promotion” be audited? How might theater owners know that this VERY POPULAR show has as much interest as the producers say it does? Not that a producer would inflate the numbers to influence a theater owner, but….just sayin’.

Will the creative team have any royalty interest in the proceeds of this scheme? If not, it seems not much different than pimping. Why not just wear a sandwich board and offer “free looks” to get the johns in?

Only time will tell if there is any merit to this promotion. As it stands now, it’s little more than a low rent additional cost on potential ticket buyers who pay too much as it is for “first chance” availability.
