    Hello all,

    I need some advice on how you would sell out a theater show.

    The show will cost about £10,000 to put on.

    Marketing will get about £2000 of that,

    The theater can hold 500 people, for 6 nights, so a total of 3000 tickets need to be sold.

    Explain how you would sell out the show, and break even (or maybe make a little profit)

    Show specifics shouldnt matter.

    Show is in a medium sized town, with lots of villages close by, and a few citys only 30mins drive.

    Let's here your ideas.

    Rep given.

    many thanks.

    Flyer houses in more upmarket areas around the theatre, posters in shop windows, contact groups/clubs that are anything to do with the show topic and offer them a discount for large ticket orders. All easy to do, and cheap.
