Sillerman With $450 Tik Won't Disclose Grosses.

The Hilton is the one Broadway theater owned by Live Nation, which (get a pencil and paper) used to be part of Clear Channel, which bought the Hilton from Mr. Sillerman’s company, SFX Entertainment, in 2000.

The reaction on blogs and in newspaper columns to the $450 tickets has been mixed, to put it charitably. But then again, when the producers of “The Producers,” a group that included Mr. Brooks and Mr. Sillerman, introduced the $480 premium ticket to Broadway in 2001, the outcry was intense. Premium tickets have since become de rigueur on Broadway, and so it may be with Mr. Sillerman’s decision to keep the grosses private.

Let's see. A guy produces a play about a producer that sells 50% of his show over and over. In producing his next play he decides to sell tickets at $450 and then won't reveal the grosses. One can only hope that his next play isn't about Billie Sol Estes or Charles Ponzi.
