Scene costs are getting out of control

[Ocean01]

What’s the deal with the cost of the scenes lately? I mean there is one scene Candice Dare it’s 12 tickets it’s almost 1/3 of the tickets you get with membership. Not to mention the content here seems to be getting very repetitive. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

[drevokocur66]

Cost should reflect content and quality, which in majority cases it clearly does not. And then when people get ultra selective because they are tired of getting shafted, they cry that no one is buying.

This theme is coming back a lot.
Is someone of the produces willing to shed a light on this one?

There's two reasons why price goes up: demand increases; or it's costing them to make more scenes and they have to compensate.

Less models on the market because of covid = prices rising = scene costs increase.
But LP started raising prices before the pandemic. This didn't help...

Is true only for some models, not for majority.

Anyway, we have to differ between LP core studios and small private studios with shorter and often amateur scenes. The latter are much more expensive because pornbox is just a sales platform for them but not genuinely interested in their productions. The cheapes offers there are just re-sales of scenes already sold years ago elsewhere.

GIO/GLab, gonzo/LD and N&F are clear core studios, which have a (special) deal with pornbox enabling them to sell expensive to produce footage more at clearly still fair priced ticket amounts. Although they indeed already increased before pandemia.

Somewhere in the middle is NT and also YE, ie. both Latin America studios, having less favorable pornbox deals it seems, thus haveing to charge about 1tkt more for same content you can get for 1tkt cheaper at GIO/gonzo. Cant imagine its due to performers fees, although I simply dont know LAM fees, but should be rather cheaper than EU I'd expect.

Erm, no.
Those are two of the reasons but there is another which is simply that they feel they can make more money per scene by charging more even if it causes a drop in sales volume.
A lot of other porn sites seem to have ceased or drastically slowed production due to covid (US sites particularly) so they probably feel we have less options at the moment and they can leverage that.
