An average ticket price of $49 for a Broadway house?
Wow. That barely pays the salary of a Broadway union ticket taker. Someone took a huge pay cut or lost a lot of money.

Anyone have any insight into the Broadway tradition of disclosing occupancy & revenue figures ? It doesn't happen in the West End for example ...

They were just trying to fill the seats. A lot of the tickets were likely given away.
