Ok, I mentioned this last week, but this week's numbers are even more baffling:
How does Springsteen play to 100% capacity - with a top price of $850, an average price of $400, a $75 digital lottery, and seemingly very high demand - yet still only pull in 80% gross potential?

The Big Names can't afford tickets on their own?

If you were a critic and had to pay for a ticket while every other show gives them to you for free, you wouldn't exactly be in a great mood while writing that review... Which would hurt the legacy of the show.

You think the people who are invited to attend Opening Nights are charged for their tickets?

Opening night performances are invite only, in which all seats are comped, 99.99% of the time.

Big stars get lots of free stuff, this is hardly anything new.
