I think part of it is the cost and a bigger part is that every show is so easily available online, even the new ones. More and more people are claiming to have seen shows by watching the bootlegs online. And many don't see the need or reason to see them in person after that. And after the way this board so passionately and decisively defended bootlegs as a cherished part of theater, it is no wonder that this is the trend.

This is why Hamilton in Chicago is going to close in january I’m guessing. Everybody thinks tickets are sold out
I had a friend go this past Tuesday and out of curiosity I checked how many tickets were left and I couldn’t believe the number of open seats. Wednesday night same thing. Thursday night same thing. So just check Ticketmaster on the night you want to see Hamilton. There will be tickets available.

The poster who said that the Rent film was the definitive production of Rent, I’m curious what brought you to that conclusion, besides just subjective opinion ?
How have you lost tickets? Mar 31

When I took a group of students to see Phantom about 10 years ago, I thought I would be very clever and photocopy the first and last ticket of the group since we were all sitting in one long row. Then I could show the usher the photocopy since sometimes ushers want to see everybody’s tickets. So we get to the theater and I realize I left the two tickets on the ends of the row on the copy machine glass at school!! Of course the box office reprinted the missing tickets with no questions asked.
To the post-resurrector: I would print out a discount code from one of the sites already mentioned and bring it to the theater when you arrive on Thursday. There will most likely be some decent seats left. If you aren't happy with the selection, the good ones might have been sent over to TKTS already and you can head over there. But that $99 prime orchestra offer sounds tough to beat.
As for the Thursday matinee popularity, I've seen Phantom's Thursday matinee 10 time
Help!! Majestic theater seat advice Mar 15

I agree. The house sit in the mid orch are best. The incline is quite steep so you get an incredible view and you’re still very close and you can still see above the stage.
I would suggest the orchestra seats only because there is a special effect in Act 2 that isn't as effective from the mezz because you can see it coming.
