claque

/ˈklæk/
Meanings (ES + gloss)
clac • claque
A group of people hired to attend a performance and to either applaud or boo.
The claque isn't paid. In fact, claqueurs pay to get in. The inducement is that they can buy standing room for half price, without waiting in line.
The most popular singers have been obliged to give free tickets and even to donate cash, lest the claque retaliate by frantic applause at the wrong moment.
