I&#8217;m not sure how pricing for something like that could be figured out, but I do like the idea of paying for a card at the beginning of the season, getting week-of or day-of e mails when performances haven&#8217;t sold out, and then sitting in the available seats for&#8230;what would seem like &#8220;free!&#8221;, since I had already paid for the all-you-can-see card months ago. Perhaps I could add a ticket for a friend for $5 or $10 as well, like I do for MoMA admission with my membership.<\/p>\n<p>When faced with a buffet situation, I find myself trying new things; sure, put it on the plate, if I don&#8217;t like it, it&#8217;s not like I ordered it for my whole meal. This is why an all-you-can-see card would work best at venues with diversified programming like <a href=\"http:\/\/lepoissonrouge.com\/\">(le) poisson rouge<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joespub.com\/\">Joe&#8217;s Pub<\/a>. I might not buy a full-price ticket to see an artist I&#8217;m totally unfamiliar with, but I will go if I&#8217;m still available that night and can get into the concert with my card. Sure, put it on the plate! <\/p>\n<p>I fully admit this idea is full of holes, but nobody likes empty seats, and having a group of people who have invested some funds in your organization and who you can get in touch with week-of\/day-of just might be a better solution than papering the house. &nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[If someone&#8217;s already doing this, stop me now; or, at least, post a comment and tell us all.] Perhaps it&#8217;s just me, but everywhere I turn in this city there&#8217;s an all-you-can-eat special.
