I'd say your imagination is running a little amok. Yes, S/F low-balled it because there are a lot of other (relatively small but not nominal) costs but most of the rest of these things just get worked out. And when you have a theatre owner also (actually) producing, things get worked out easily because the truth is, no player involved in this is interested in damaging a relationship. No seatgeek will not be keeping fees on both shows and a single, easy transfer of revenue will take place. Do not underestimate how much seat geek wants to be friendly with Jordan; they are business partners. Not to mention they would reasonably expect more net revenue, not less. As I have said here many times, stop clauses are window dressing, not something people who plan to need each other in the future bring up. If Garth did not have a stop clause engaged, no one will. lol
This is not that big of a deal. There is no "move." Telecharge does not have to do anything other than take a data dump from the production and a few tweaks from the GM. And I think most people looking at this expect piano lesson will do better not worse. P.S. They've already raised ticket prices at the Barrymore. Supply and demand and all that jazz. :-)
I know folks enjoy this kind of thing (as do I) but this a friendly deal that is mutually beneficial. |
