within the next year, I suspect this will be commonplace on Broadway. Not making exchanges never made any sense to me, refunds I understand to a degree, but exchanges are kind of a no-brainer.

Now that it's a way to bring in more money, I suspect shows will now think exchanges are okay. Curious if Telecharge or Ticketmaster will tack on an exchange fee to benefit them as well...

Do you see this extending to LCT venues? That would really help. I'd hate to pay the $12. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

Will the creatives share in the bounty? Will these fees be counted towards royalty percentages?

If not, just more pimping of the writers, directors, actors and the rest.

Royalties are generally calculated from the NAGBOR, so I guess it depends if it's taken off the top as part of the adjustment or not. If not, then yes, it would be included in the amounts the royalties are calculated from.

Actors don't receive royalties because they're on contracted salaries, so the only actors who would, in theory, benefit would be stars who receive a piece of the box office above their contracted salary.

Also, a boon for scalpers. Much less risk for speculators. If they get stuck with primo Saturday night tickets, just exchange them and live to sell another day.

Way to go Mickey!

It may not affect Disney so much, but if everyone joins the party, it's really a refund policy.

If you don't want your early purchased tickets to a poorly reviewed show, just exchange them for a far out future date. When the show closes before your new performance, bingo! Refund time.

Good for the mouse, bad for Broadway.
