Can someone explain the concept of cancellation tickets to me? I thought there are no refunds or exchanges for any broadway tickets. If you purchase from telecharge or ticketmaster, there is no refund or exchange.
How can people cancel their tickets? What is a cancellation line? Do all broadway shows have cancellation tickets?
When ticketmaster or telecharge says there are no tickets for a performance, does that mean the performance is sold out? Can I go up to the box office and see if there are any tickets available?
So for Jersey Boys, if telecharge says there are no premium seats available for a performance, then there is definetly no cancellation line for that performance. Is this a correct assumption?
Shows also hold back a number of tickets as house seats for last minute VIPs or the like. The hotter a show is the more seats they hold and can hold them longer than normal because there's usually a waiting demand in line at the box office for those seats. They know they won't go unsold if they hold on to them right up until the last minute.
If the ticket agencies sell back the premium tickets, and you happen to be in the cancellation line, can you buy them for the normal orchestra price? ($110) or would it have to be the premium ticket price?

That is going to be somewhat difficult. From what I know Saturday and Sundays are the most difficult seats to get for a cancellation. If you were looking to see the show during the week, there are always seats available at the box office the night of the show. I say this from experience. I had just gone the evening of Oct. 11th I needed one more ticket for my sister and she just showed up at the box office 1/2 hour before performance and she was able to sit in right orchestra 4th row third seat in. She paid 111.00 for the ticket.
I know several people who have tried this on a Saturday & Sunday and they were not able to get a ticket. I was told by the person at the box office, Weekends are the most difficult tickets to get.
