A fun question! Now that I arrived at this total, I wish it were tax deductible or something! I envy you guys who get comped a lot. I did join TheaterMania Gold this summer and saw a few shows through that (for $4.50 each). But I bought most of my tickets in 2012 via TDF. I saw both Shakespeare in the Park productions (free) and also Giant for free (after the hurricane). I saw three Roundabout shows using the Access10 code ($10 each). I used BroadwayBox codes for maybe six, and the TKTS booth for five or six.

Total shows in 2012: 57
Average price per ticket: $38

That includes a few repeats. Before this year, I hadn't gone to a Broadway show in maybe 10 years.

Lousy record of the Theater-going this year--

Sleep No More
Porgy & Bess
Other Desert Cities
Newsies
Death of a Salesman
One Man Two Governors
Peter and the Starcatcher
Once

Paid full price for most shows. (I know, loser, right?)

I know I am forgetting a few regional Chicago shows, but, from what I can remember I have seen 26 shows this year (7 Chicago regional, 5 tours, 1 St. Louis Regional, 4 Off-Broadway, and 9 Broadway).

Total of $1330, however, 3 of the shows I got comps for. Average of $51 a show. Most expensive was “Into the Woods” in the park (did a member donation for guaranteed tickets) and least expensive (not counting the freebies) was “Good People” at Steppenwolf ($15 student tickets).
