Discounting by day (softest houses lean on the booth most)

Day	On board	Typical cut	Read
Wed	1×	30% off	firmest
Thu	1×	30% off
Fri	2×	30% off
Sat	2×	30% off	softest

This show rarely needs the TKTS booth — about 3% of its performances showed up discounted over the last 26 weeks.
Typical cut: 30% off, with booth tickets running $112–$127.
Sat performances lean hardest on the booth (on the board 2× at ~30% off) — the spot to paper, run a targeted promo, or consider going dark on a light week.
Low booth reliance is a strength — there's room to protect full price rather than discount.

"Board presence" = the share of this show's performances (from the grosses) that appeared discounted at TKTS over the last 26 weeks. Discounting is a demand signal, not the whole picture.
