How many organizations have implemented variable pricing?
I'm presenting variable pricing as an option to our ED and I'd like to give him an idea of how many theatres are already doing this (aside from the organizations that spoke at Tess Conference).
Thanks,

Thank you to everyone who responded. A couple more questions:
- Are you using a date by date capacity percentage to trigger the increase in price? At what percent? – House count reports and cap percentages – the trigger to demand price is different for each productions/performances
- What kind of customer response did you get? Increased subscriptions? Did it help level out other performances that had lower capacity? Able to see patrons buying earlier?
Generally people did not complain – because if they really wanted to see it, they paid the higher price. We have increased our subscriptions because of demand based pricing, it’s definitely helped other productions with lower capacity, patrons are generally buying earlier.
Thanks again.
