Set a ticket price. If it needs to be more raise the price. People see past gimmicks. I hate wearing uniforms and buttons. Artists get way to little money in DC. Problem is the price for theatre tickets is now set in the patrons mind. Once you lower to a certain price you can never raise it again or it is very hard. If you decide to set your price at 10 dollars like some companies have in recent years you will have a hard time getting back up to 18 or 20.. If ticket prices make up a small percentage of expenses how then do you lower them even more.. Ahhhhhhhh oh well I ramble.. LOL nope… Set a ticket price. If it needs to be more raise the price.
