We usually only do two performances of our shows because it can be difficult to draw a large enough audience to fill the house on the third night. However, everyone involved in the production would like to put on a third show. The only thing holding us back is the kids (middle & high school actors for a talent show) don't always seem very enthusiastic about performing for a house that is less than half full (capacity is 198. Yes, 198).
With that being said, we are trying to think of a way to get audience members (parents and family mostly) to return to a Sunday matinee by offering discounted tickets (50% off at the very least). Our fear is that people will buy the tickets and turn around and give them to other relatives who couldn't make it on the first two nights. This wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, but I was hoping the CB community had some insight for us.
