So, give them the money to do the refit then pay again when you buy tickets.
Cheeky buggers. Go find some investors.

I thought the Stalls seats weren't that old and are fine, seems odd to replace them (I know the numbers are hard to read).
Funny that last year was Mayflower30 now straight on to Mayflower90. What's next year?
The amount they get from tickets seems ambiguous. Is it 0.23p per £1 which seems very low (about 10p per top price ticket) or £0.23p which seems a lot?

That's roughly what venues keep, generally speaking. Of course on top of that they get any applicable booking/transaction fees and phone call charges levied at customers, and any other financial deals agreed with the producer. |

They stopped booking fees a while back which is why I thought 23p must be right but they clearly say 0.23p. Sounds a good margin to me |

I think that's just a mistake where they've put the £ and the p, rather than meaning 0.23 of a penny, as it were. |

The Mayflower is a registered charity and is one of the few remaining big independent theatres, and thank god. Last thing we need is atg or some other corporation getting involved. There is a lot of love in the local community for the theatre and this is nothing new. they have held similar schemes before. And how is this any different to what other theatre owners have done with restoration fees etc. and they arent voluntary. The seats are new designed seats to allow for bigger people. the pit will go under the stage which is my only concern about this renovation |
