I have not had much occasion to use Telecharge in the recent past so am a bit rusty.
Three questions:
If an Amex presale for a show goes through 9/23 but the general sale doesn't begin until 9/26, what is the status of sales for that show on 9/24 and 9/25? Does that mean one cannot order on those dates?
Also, what is the difference between "best available" and "premium"? Aren't they the same thing? Or does "best available" mean "best" of the non-premium? I find the wording confusing.
And how soon before opening night do opening night tickets become available?
Thanks.

Yes, you can't order until 9/26
Best available is the best of what is available to you. Premium seats are more expensive and are held for people who want to pay for them. If you have a discount code it excludes certain seats so you're shown the best of what is available of the discounted seats.
You'll have to ask the producers.

Posted: 9/19/11 at 11:50amThanks for the info. I still cannot fathom why a show would suspend sales for a couple of days, but then I am not a producer.

Posted: 9/19/11 at 6:13pmWhere would I put in a discount code if I had one?? I tried using one for FOllies but it didn't have someplacce to use the code so I ended up paying full price. (It was worth it though.) It was one of the codes found on here good until 10/2 Updated On: 9/19/11 at 06:13 PM

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

Posted: 9/19/11 at 8:48pmThey don't suspend sales...the first few days are for American Express holders...all the way until they sell to any old credit card.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 6/16/12 at 4:59pmI have a Telecharge question... Do they have any type of ticket insurance you can buy like Ticketmaster does? On Ticketmaster you can have your tickets protected for an extra $7 so if something happens (in my case a flight delay or cancellation) you can get your money back. I was just wondering if Telecharge had something similar you could buy.
