Question for anyone who may be in-the-know: If Hedwig has been selling premium tickets at almost $400 since June, why does the "top ticket paid" always seem to only be around $250?
Disney usually doesn't announce if they recoup (NEWSIES was the exception) and they are probably a long ways off from recouping anyways due to a budget probably upwards of 20 million.

PIPPIN & CINDERELLA both must be barely breaking even. I wonder if Keke Palmer will sell any tickets. And if Melanie Griffith really is joining PIPPIN how much that would help.
MATIDLA really holds very strong despite not having that Tony Award
Not ALL tickets are sold at that price. Many were purchased in advance, before that high of "premium" price could be demanded.
I purchased an orchestra seat for under 200.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

"If Hedwig has been selling premium tickets at almost $400 since June, why does the "top ticket paid" always seem to only be around $250?"
I don't think BWW regularly updates that info, since Top Ticket should seemingly be a fixed amount, which would make it $450. As for why the average is still low, a lot of people bought early when seats were regularly priced. I even got a third row orchestra seat for NPH's final performance for regular price on Tony Sunday, so it's not like the show was sold out and crazy from the beginning...
Average price totally makes sense based on that. Thanks! It's a shame they don't update the "top" field, because it would be a really interesting stat to see and compare between shows if it was accurate.
