Disney using same technology as airlines to handle overbooked Broadway shows

It’s a whole new world for Broadway fans, who can now receive perks for scheduling flexibility into shows.

A new partnership between Disney Theatrical Productions and Volantio announced earlier this month will give guests the flexibility to upgrade their performances, such as trading tickets for a Saturday night performance in the balcony for an orchestra seat on a Sunday matinee performance, without a change in price. The same technology is used by airlines to handle the double booking of plane seats.
