Welcome to the recap of shows I saw in 2025! There were 192. Last. year when I did this post for 2024 (which you can find HERE) I vowed to keep track of what I spent this year. Since I do book a lot of shows through papering services, I thought it would be so cool to add it up and see how little it cost. I have a membership to Club Free Time, which has a fee of $4.50, Stagelight which has a fee of $5 and TDF – Off Off Broadway membership (the only tier I qualify for) which is $11-15 each show.
So surely once I added everything up, it would be SUCH a low number that all the people in all the lands would do an audible AHHHHHHHHHH upon reading, right?
Holy shit, wrong.
I cannot list out the price per show because the number one rule of papering services is that you can never talk about the shows you got tickets for though a papering service. But I can tell you the that entire year’s total is…..drumroll please…. $8075 wait WHAT? How did that happen?!
Here is how it happened:
