This is obviously a PR gimmick. You could easily see every show in London for far less than that. There are also restrictions on the number of shows you can see and when. If you're rich enough to afford this, you don't need to be using TodayTix to get your tickets.

In theory, you could see 104 shows (a maximum 2 per week, but only West End shows, and no repeat shows). Let's assume that's impossible for most people (work/holidays away from London etc), and I'm not even sure there will be 104 different shows running. There are also date restrictions.
I'm also not clear which level of tickets you're getting "Band A" is mentioned, but most shows now have options above that (I doubt this will include the levels that come with drinks packages).
I expect even the most organised theatregoer (who is willing to put with phoning to book a ticket each time - and people with £10K to spend on theatre tickets are not going to be doing this) is going to struggle to book more than 50 shows. Yes, some shows are expensive, but the average price for Band A is going to be below £100 a show. So, I'd say the most value you could get out of this of £5K.
If you have that level of disposable income, you've likely got a PA who can arrange all of that for you. And you're probably working hard enough that you don't have that many free evenings to put that into.
Maybe I'm completely wrong, and there are loads of people reading this who have £10K a year for their theatre tickets, and just want to pay this to someone to make their arrangements for them. If that's the case, let me know and I'll set up a new business. I might even be able to buy tickets from multiple agencies, and allow two people to sit together!
