Another major exhibition at Wellington’s $180 million convention centre has failed to break even, with the council refusing to say exactly how many people visited it.
Last July RNZ reported the first two major exhibitions at Tākina, Jurassic World by Brickman and Marvel: Earth’s Mightiest Exhibition failed to either break even or reach their target visitor numbers.
The Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder ran from 1 June to 28 October and featured props from the BBC sci-fi show which first aired in 1963.
Hmm I’d pay that. It costs me $80+ to take the family to McDonald’s, and I don’t even like McDonald’s.
I think this is about the going price for this sort of thing.
I think it’s not the going price for this sort of thing, because people don’t seem to be going to this sort of thing.
The law of supply and demand says that if they don’t have enough customers for their product, they have to either lower the price of the product, or stop selling it.
Yeah you’re right, but the low demand may have been due to no one knowing it was on. If it was $20 it doesn’t help if people don’t know it’s happening.
Alternatively, they might not have made a profit because they spent too much on it.
