(Updated Dec. 16, 2005)
- Question:
Can the city
provide the winning operator with a ticket sales history for the
past seven years divided show by show and with demographics of the
audience?
Answer:
This information
is held by the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA). A
request for sales, ticket and demographic history from the BCPA
could be made. The City does not keep records of this information.
- Question:
Can the city
provide and guarantee use of a listing of current contributors and
sponsors?
Answer:
Again, this
information is held by the BCPA. The City does not have listings of
their contributors or sponsors and therefore we could not guarantee
access and/or use of this information.

the BCPA as entered into programming commitments for July 1, 2006 to

working on the 2006/2007 schedule. The Pantages will be closed for
the lobby remodel this summer from June to early October. Any

- Question:
What are the
current commitments of the BCPA?
Answer:
The BCPA has
contracts for the remainder of the 2005/2006 season which runs to
May, 2006. They also have a separate agreement with the City for
the design and construction of the lobby remodel of the Pantages
