I went on Wednesday, about 15 minutes before curtain, and there was one person in line. I went into the box office and inquired about a single seat, and managed to get 1 seat in the center balcony for $80 (it would have been a good, if not far, view were it not for the big head in front of me blocking center stage). The attendant was a little surprised to find it, so either I inadvertently cut in front of the person in the standby line, or she was holding out for a better seat.
The reality is that unsold premium seats are always reduced to regular price whenever they don't get sold in advance. And this goes for every show. Presumably, the system is set up to automatically adjust certain locations at a certain time, eliminating pricing based on the current demand. This would explain why returned tickets that were originally sold as premium may be immediately reduced. I've bought tickets twice at the box office, and both times the box office attendant&nbs
I know people are upset by the dynamic pricing at play here, and it's all speculation as to why we are seeing the varying ticket prices and locations we are seeing, but there can be some legitimate reasons.
1. This can easily be a market correction on pricing. Lest we forget, ticket prices on Broadway are double what they are for the production in London. The time commitment and price points are major factors for why tickets may still available for most performances (albe

I hear the argument of "they won't remember it" as one for not bringing babies/little kids to museums or even on vacation with you, but if they're having fun at the time, who cares (as long as they're not disrupting others, which is probably the main issue here)? I'm sure a 3-year-old would be delighted during their experience Disneyland even if they don't remember the experience when they go back
I personally didn't see anything wrong with the thread. It wasn't a "mean" thread per se, and it definitely highlighted an aspect of the theater-going experience.
Can Miranda's ego get any bigger? Neither he nor Seller are even remotely qualified to curate an exhibition on Alexander Hamilton (expert consultants notwithstanding), who is nowhere near interesting enough to have an exhibition of that size. Obviously this is simply another marketing tool for the show. But it seems like every time the public discourse "moves on" from Hamilton (the musical), they come up with a new "stunt." I have no problem with them exploiting Hamilt

Definitely not. I refuse to understand how thousands of cinemas across the country can do this correctly, but Broadway can’t accept losing one or two seats per row to give human-sized people a couple of extra inches."
Apples and oranges. Even the biggest blockbusters will have empty seats during its opening w

As has been said, the production seems to have held back some seats for every performance (plus any unused house seats I'm sure). Also, because of the return policy, I wouldn't be surprised if many of the tickets
It's a year away. The lack of casting news is not indicative of a cancellation.
Personally, I don't see why this is necessary. The "final" performance is available on DVD (and I think Netflix streaming), I don't know why these networks don't pick shows that aren't really represented (adequately or at all).

I did a very quick glance and it is nearly impossible to buy tickets for only one part (and just as difficult to buy tickets to the two non-consecutive parts). It might be easier in person at the box office.
HeatherAV said: "A little off topic, but does anyone know if the Opening Night Playbills (excuse me, Showbills) had the "Opening Night" silver sticker on them? I know some shows use them and some don't. Thanks!"
I have been to about 15 opening nights (at least) I not once have the Playbills had a silver sticker indicating that it's opening night. I thinik it's very rare, and it's mostly a marketing gimmick for the Playbill Online store.
Most shows start reducing ticket prices closer to the performance, but usually only at the box office. Plus they want too sell you the ticket, so if they are able to sell you tickets at a reduced price, they will.

This isn't a "world premiere." Critics didn't have any problems reviewing the London production (which received raves), so I'm not sure why there'd be any issues with critics reviewing the Broadway production. It's not a secret that this is a sequel of sorts to the original Harry Potter series, so they will have most likely have done some background homework ahead of time.

Book of Mormon is not available on TKTS, and while it isn't as hard as it used to be, it still does sell out regularly. Premium seats will likely be the only available seats if you don't buy in advance.

They might open the doors earlier too since it’s on opening night. I hope you have fun I’m super jealous you get to go! Definitely share your experiences!!!"
If you are a ticket holder, I would strongly encourage you to NOT approach any celebrities in the house for autographs. Opening

I'm sorry, but I really wish people wouldn't "hold" tickets in their TM account if they have no intention of purchasing them. No one on this site is more entitled to these tickets than the general ticket-buying public, and even when available again it may not come up as the best available. It's cheating other people from having access to the best tickets. I don't know if TM has a rule about it (unlikely), but it's definitely an abuse of the system.
