Saluting Celine Dion after her Olympics performance, the only way my blog and YouTube channel really can - and the City Center musical Bat Out of Hell - which besides being an entertaining show, proved outrageous premium prices can sell even at non-profit theaters
Broadway ticket prices hit a new high ($1400 - that was for EACH ticket) in July 2024. And that's buying from the box office, not scalpers.
To either celebrate or commiserate, depending on your point of view, whether you're selling tickets or buying tickets -
