The League of American Theaters and Producers reports that paid attendance on Broadway this year ‘was the highest since 1985 – just shy of 12 million people, an increase of almost 6 percent from last year. And those theatergoers paid an average of $68.86 a ticket, about $2.75 more than last year. Gross sales reached $825 million for Broadway’s 39 theaters, a jump of more than 10 percent from 2004. The total number of performances, another indicator of the industry’s health, increased by about 4 percent, and attendance per performance was up, too, by about 1.5 percent.”
