mailhandler777, Jacksonville, Florida is a odd city for what sells. I used to think it was the older shows that did well, but this season, The King and I, sold awful also. When the show doesn't sell, they have a $30 lottery and you can pick your seats. That is why I'm mad at myself for going for free, and ending up with awful seats. I had won the lottery and could of had a great seat. Our last show for the main season is The School of Rock and it is not selling either.
I had the worst audience members around me tonight for the tour of Waitress. I had mentioned in another thread, that it wasn't selling well and I predicted they would have the usual lottery to fill seats. Well, I won the lottery ($30 for choice of seats). However, I was offered free tickets for opening tonight, which I thought was to fill up the orchestra, to give the illusion of selling well. Well, I took the free tickets and to my surprise, my tickets were way up
I'd rather sit through a week of DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN."
LOL. I almost entered an ebay lottery for $1 for this in Las Vegas. Then I read the trip advisor and yelp reviews and said no thanks. I'm a fan of Britney and will always buy her new music projects, but I have zero interest in sitting through this.
What you could do, is go on GMA site and look for clips of past show performances and see if they give them away, after the performance. I know GMA does more giveaways now, than in the past, but not sure if that includes show tickets. Even The View was always a 100% guarantee for an audience giveaway at every taping in the past, but in recent years that is not always a given.
There are currently two shows in Las Vegas, Michael Jackson One and MJ Live that center 100% on Jackson and his music. There are three more (lesser) shows that feature him secondary. As someone that has been paying attention to various shows, due to an upcoming trip, I haven't read anything that would state that this documentary has or will affect the current runs of these shows. Maybe, posters who live in/near Las Vegas have more information. I don't plan on s
Skipping NYC this year, for the first time in many years. Will be seeing the tour of Finding Neverland at the end of this month and the tour of Come From Away in Orlando in June. If Waitress tour offers lottery seats next week (it is selling badly so would be surprised if they didn't) will see that next week.
I think he has enough fans in the NYC and surrounding area for him to do well for seven performances. I would be surprised if there was ticket demand for an extension. I agree with 10086sunset on his performance record. He has cancelled two shows in my city in the past. But I think, because of the prestige of being on Broadway, his attendance will be a nonissue.
Thanks for info, trekkygurl. As someone who has lived in Atlanta, twice, I know there were more than enough subscribers to purchase most of the tickets. However, to say you could not buy a ticket unless you were a subscriber, just seemed off to me. I live in Jacksonville, now, and we are getting Hamilton next year. Our shows, mostly do not do well. (Waitress is in two weeks and has sold badly). So I am curious to see if subscription sales take the majority
Question for the Atlanta subscribers? When I saw Christina Aguilera at the Fox last November, the lady next to me said the only way you could get a ticket to Hamilton when it last played, was only as a subscriber. They did not allow ticket buying for the nonsubscribers. I found that odd. When I saw Hamilton in Orlando, weeks ago, that was how I was able to buy a ticket. I'm not going to see it in Atlanta. Just curious.
If you watch the classic sixties film, Tom Jones, and Murder on the Orient Express, Scrooge, Big Fish, Erin Brockavitch, Skyfall and Annie, and countless more films and television shows, plus Broadway, that's Albert Finney.

I am assuming they are bring up ticket takers since two prior posters stated tell the box office and are grouping ticket takers along with box office workers. Again OP, do not say anything to the Box Office employee, the ticket taker, the merchandise employee or the bartender. Just stand in line and get your ticket scanned and go to your seat.
Comps are no different than music promos. On your vinyl, cd, etc it will state for promotional use only Not for resell. People and legit stores have been buying and reselling these promos for years. I have actually given some people on this site free promos that I received. What they did with them and whether or not they sold them is their business.
Lizzy, most comp tickets just say comp on it. However, this past week, I almost bought some Spamalot tickets, from Craigslist, that had the tv station who gave them away in a contest, printed on them. Yes, the box office would know by the seat location who actually received the comps to giveaway. Majority, don't care. They received their free publicity in exchange for the free tickets. I'm most excited that this week I won tickets to Sarah Maclauchlin.&nb
People get comps from many sources. Just this week I won two contests. One from a local newspaper and the other from a radio station. The box office is going to enforce against people selling comps like they enforced against scalping when it was illegal. I really don't see them doing anything against the person who sold the OP the tickets in the first place. OP, do not tell the box office anything. Just go into the show and let them scan your ticket and
I can't delete the double post, so I will say it is worth repeating.
