In a slow economy, cheaper seats fit the bill
calendarlive.com: "Rising gas prices have forced theatergoers to reassess their spending. But theater operators say that when economic times are slow, people will still go to see live entertainment, opting instead to postpone trips or luxury car purchases. These days, however, half-price tickets are taking center stage for those who usually buy orchestra seats, and the changing buying patterns are forcing theaters to find creative ways to reach out to patrons."

It is interesting to note that while ticket prices seem to be rising and rising, there are still a lot of people paying less and less through online sources. I also wouldn't have expected sales to go up during an economic downturn, but during the great depression the live entertainment industry was doing relatively well.
