| Abstract: | This paper examines the trends in performance, ticket prices and audiences for the major subsidized performing arts companies in England in 1986-1996. The analysis shows that these major companies have increased ticket prices and box office revenue, effectively exploiting audience willingness-to-pay, but have not generally increased audiences or their output in terms of the number of performances and productions staged. Analysis presents a paradoxical case of economic 'success' but cultural policy 'failure'. |
