Posted: 7/3/11 at 7:51pmDo they usually release more $30 tickets for Warhorse as the date gets closer? I ask because I just checked and It looks like they are sold out for all of July

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

tking001 - I would say with near-certainty no.
I bought my LincTix tickets for WAR HORSE on May 18 for Tuesday, July 19 - 2 full months ahead of time, only a day after they announced the LincTix program. I went to the Beaumont box office and asked the representative what tickets they had. At that point they had all the different tickets available for the program - tickets in the 100 and 500 sections, downstairs and in the loge - and my friend and I got first pick.
There are, in total, I would guess 12-24 tickets per performance for LincTix members. That's not very many, especially when you think how popular War Horse is, and also how popular the old Lincoln Center Theater StudenTix program was - many StudenTix members have now aged into the LincTix program (like me).
I would suggest buying tickets at least a full month in advance. Your best bet would be for weekday nights. If you're aiming for a premium performance time (like Saturday night) I'd consider looking even further out into the future and if you're thinking about a busy season (like around Thanksgiving or Christmas, for example) then first check to see if they are available and then buy very early. Good luck!

Posted: 7/4/11 at 10:58amI stupidly waited to try and get rush tickets but didn't know they were suspended. That is when I learned about linctix and I bought a ticket around mid June for July 20th, about a month in advance.

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

Question about Linctix: I may have a problem but I am hoping it is something that really isnt an issue.
I signed up for Linctix, and lied about my age. I am a mere 6 months away from being 21. I have not purchased a ticket. How strict are they about checking age, or do they even? I dont look like I would be under 21, I simply do not want to waste money on a ticket and be refused.

Posted: 7/5/11 at 10:56amI could be wrong, but I believe that you have to be turning 21 within the year to sign up.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 7/5/11 at 10:57amThey did not check my ID when I picked up my ticket on Friday, however I have heard that they did check for other people, so it's 50/50 whether they'll check your ID or not.
