Zombieboy Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Ok, so I have my TV deal now--- an hour every Saturday night at midnight, filmed on Thursdays. I'm a very small promotion, and I want to make my TV show my main show, but I'm having difficulty with the ticket prices. Why are TV ticket prices so much lower than live events? It's kind of annoying because I'm charging $8 for D- overness (my overness in the region) and anything more gives me a "your ticket prices are driving away fans" message. Also, my show is doing 0.00 in ratings. It's still a new show, but apart from doing good advance bookings, is there anything else I can do to boost ratings?

Goldenskillz Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Make sure your show isnt going head to head against another show....even a crap one can steal viewers when your that small. Also TV tickets are lower because in general the PPV is where the BIG things happen, the TV is the build up the PPV is the main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombieboy Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Unfortunately, no PPV carrier will look my way. Although I'm incredibly happy with the boosts in popularity with my TV so far. I'm in the UK and the 3 other regions apart from my main one have jumped 3% in a month and a half! Not too shabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm focusing my efforts on my TV show, and gotten some big name talent to help (just signed Adam Matravers and JD Morgan) but with the low-ticket prices, I may have to rethink my strategy.

eayragt Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 [QUOTE=Zombieboy;179873]Why are TV ticket prices so much lower than live events? [/QUOTE] Because fans have the option to watch it for free on TV instead. Some of those fans tuning in may have turned up to your event if it wasn't on TV, so the finance guys advise keeping the price down, so there's no dip in attendance.

Sigilistic Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Plus it looks REALLY good on TV if you have a full house, so there is a bit of incentive in making the tickets cheaper. People see that you're selling out shows and pay more attention than they might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
