Liverpool Philharmonic Hall is selling tickets for a selection of concerts, including several by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, for just £1.
100 tickets have been set aside for each of the chosen events.
The drawback - you can only buy them in person, from the box office, on Sunday 11 September from 12pm to 3pm.
More details on their website.
An interesting model; if it fills the hall then I would like to hire the venue and repeat it with a different style of music.

It's unlikely to fill the hall if only 100 tickets are put aside for the offer, given that the hall seats circa. 2,000.
Even if it did, the revenue wouldn't even be enough for 50% of the hall hire costs for another event anyway, far less actually stage something.
The only way to generate any additional income from this is to hope that a queue of 2,000 people turns up to buy their £1 tickets, and then so want to go to the events they've selected, and not to have wasted their Sunday morning, that all bar the first hundred by tickets at £5. £10 etc. anyway, once they're there.

Isn't it nice to know that the RLPO now has money to burn?
Meanwhile, this season the RLPO has substantially increased the price of standard tickets for all of its concerts, added a booking fee per ticket that never previously existed and has the cheek to charge a £5 fee for the privilege of buying subscriptions.
Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing?
