Christine Baranski and Richard E Grant in a poster image advertising the play Hay Fever. Christine wears a sparkling outfit and stands next to Richard, who wears a formal suit with a bow tie. They are posing in an elegant room with a chandelier and striped wallpaper.Poster for The Motive and the Cue, featuring Mark Gatiss and Johnny Flynn. The two performers stand back-to-back in thoughtful poses. One holds a folder and seems to be pondering, while the other has a hand on their chin. The image is in a black and white tone.

🙄 Every. Single. Time. Some SOLT producer gets wheeled out to defend dynamic pricing & outlandish prices with the same tired line: “High prices at the top end reflect the value audiences place on live entertainment.” 💤

"The reason this matters is because a £395 premium ticket does exactly one thing well: it confirms the suspicion that theatre is an elitist art form..."

‘Price to Market, Not Market to Price’
010
Carl Woodward @mrcarlwoodward.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
A leading commercial producer once told me: you price to market, not market to price. West End producers are increasingly using algorithms to set prices — and to move them, rapidly, throughout the day on dynamic pricing - it’s a tool for greed.

Carl Woodward @mrcarlwoodward.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
the West End is in a death spiral of raiding intellectual property IP & staging movie musicals. Meanwhile, top price tickets at our Royal National Theatre are £120. Some millionaires defend extortionate dynamic pricing — change the record - theatre should never be a cash cow x
