Has anyone had trouble purchasing 30under30 tickets to Fool for Love? The link I got takes me to the offer site, but no matter what date I select, all the seats show up as full price. I went to the box office to try it in person after work only to find they are closed (the MTC site doesnt list summer hours grrr). Wondering if this is just me or if anyone has gotten through?

I had the same problem and finally just gave up. Gonna wait for TDF, I guess.

I called them and got a terrific seat in the second row.

When I was looking for tickets last night, I found a bunch of dates where no seats were available (which seemed impossible, since they had JUST been released), so they're clearly having some sort of issue.

That being said, I had no problem getting two great seats for the September 30th evening performance, but that was through a different link, since it's the night of the 30 Under 30 party.

I just spoke to Telecharge and apparently no tickets are left for 30under30.

I don't think that's actually true. They were only released yesterday. They're probably just having an issue that the Telecharge rep you spoke to isn't aware of.

I'm curious if they listed a running time.  It was "Mamet-esque" in terms of length at the WTF last summer

TotallyEffed I have a hard time buying that. I first clicked on the link maybe 10 minutes after it arrived in my inbox yesterday. And could not get access. If there are truly none left, that would mean Nina Arianda and Sam Rockwell are selling a whole block of tickets in 10 MINUTES? Gyllenhaal/Wilson took a few hours to sell a whole block, and as much as I love Arianda and Rockwell, I highly doubt they can outpace that more famous duo. 

When you call Telecharge, you are talking to a rep who sells tickets for all of their venues. Its entirely possible and likely the rep just plugged in your promo, saw nothing was there, and told you it was sold out. He isnt the one building the code and probably is not informed of the issue.

Just got two great front row seats. A warning: with service charges each ticket was over $40.00.

I had similar problems.

1. Dates would show up under my search without any available $30 tickets. 

2. When I did pick two tickets, my session timed out early and I lost them.

3. System errors checking out.

It seemed like they were all gone last night, but I looked again this afternoon on a whim and there were even better seats listed than there were yesterday! I got front row center. Well worth $40, but god I do hate service fees.

Polka Dot, as we said yesterday, there was an issue, but they fixed it late afternoon yesterday.

Could somebody send me the code? I haven't gotten an email from MTC.

Hi everyone, Andrew here from MTC. So sorry you experienced this issue - we had an inventory problem that was capping the number of 30 Under 30 tickets early. It has now been fixed, and as some others have noted, we put in some great front row seats to make up for the inconvenience. I have subscribed to this thread, so please comment if you are still having trouble and I will investigate.

Wee Thomas2: Fool for Love is a one act play with a running time of around 75 minutes

nasty_khakis: I will PM you the code.

@AAllen4 Would you mind sending me the code as well? Typically, I receive the 30Under30 email but for this particular show I did not receive it.

I'm aware. I was sharing my similar experience and my joy in getting front row tickets when I thought I had missed out.

Does anyone know where MTC usually puts people for student rush tickets? Are they the same as the 30 Under 30 seats?

LM: 30 Under 30 went on sale weeks ago. If you're part of the program, keep an eye on your email for when the next batch of tickets go on sale for later in the run.
