Get 'em while they're hot! The virtual waiting room that the Public is using is very cool. 


I don't know if I will end up liking this show, from what I've read, but I have such a FOMO problem (fear of missing out) that I sprang for a ticket. But you didn't need to know all that.

Thank you for the head's up!  Got two great seats for July!

Shoot. Can someone get me tickets?

Got my tickets today!  The waiting room was, indeed, kind of cool; it's definitely overestimating your wait time.

I bet the Public's experience with Hamilton last year caused it to spend some money on much-needed upgrades to its website.

Did things go smoothly for you after exiting the waiting room? This is my second time dealing with it and having problems on my laptop - it will let me look at dates and seats but will not to add them to my cart. After 10 minutes, it kicks me out for "inactivity" and puts me back in the waiting room. Immediately, it says I can purchase tickets, only to put me in the loop of inactivity etc…  I gave up and just called them on the phone

Augh, that sounds frustrating.  I didn't have any issues other than the seating map taking a little bit longer to load than usual for the first date I looked at, but then it was smooth sailing.

I didn't have any issues either. I am on a desktop using Chrome. I entered the virtual waiting room, the clock kept me informed as to my wait time, then it said, "Congrats, you're next!" Then it said to click the bar to buy tickets, and then it went smoothly from there.

 

Did you sign in first as a member?

Ugh it is SO frustrating! Happened with Dry Powder as well...

I'm on Safari… Signed in as a member first. I did try it on my iphone and got the same message. Eventually I got through on the mobile site too.

Thanks for this reminder! Was able to snag three seats for 7/20 because of it. Totally didn't realize they went on sale today. 

 

That at being said, I had no issues and didn't even get put in the waiting room. Got to choose seats right away.

I was on mobile and didn't have any trouble getting in, just I didn't know what seat I was getting until I checked out. I lucked out & got a $60 seat, which turned out to be the front row. Heh. Hopefully the view's fine from there.

You can also just use the members phone number. I got right through without any issue. 

 

I know it's somewhat antiquated to buy tickets over the phone, but the Public's membership line is fantastic!

I bought my ticket today. They're going really quickly; many dates seem to be close to sold out.

When do they go on sale for non-members? The Public's website always makes me crazy because it's so annoying to navigate.

At this rate, the show will be sold out by then. If you really want to see it, pay $65 for the membership and buy a ticket. Maybe share the extra cost with a group and buy tickets for the group.

That's exactly what I did. The Public's shows have been excellent and well worth a $65 investment

[macnyc]

As a member, you can buy only one member ticket. It used to be until recently that you could buy a member ticket plus a discounted ticket for a friend if you wanted. But I do agree with the advice to pay the $65 to join. OR if you have the NYC ID card, you get a free year of membership. Such a deal!

I bought 2 tix with one membership online. 

[macnyc]

Posted: 4/23/16 at 7:43pm

We're they both the member price?

Posted: 4/23/16 at 8:36pm

They were the Amex seats, so I paid a little extra since they were the best seats available when I bought them. So maybe that was part of it.
