The Official TDF Thread

[BroadwayNYC2]

When I did Fiddler I was Front Row Mezzanine. Great view!

Question from a new TDF & BWW member here:

Have you ever purchased multiple TDF tickets for a performance and had the seats NOT be together? I remember some fine print somewhere not guaranteeing consecutive seats. I'd like to take 2 or 3 friends to the Crucible (next time it pops up) but don't want to risk not sitting together.


Thanks!

I have been using TDF for 15 years, and have only had one experience where the seats I ordered were not together. In that case, I ordered 4 tickets, and the box office gave me two pairs of 2.

[WithoutATrace]

I've been using TDF for about 11 years, and I too have only had one instance where the seats I ordered  were not together.  It is extremely rare, so I'm sure you'll be fine when you go see The Crucible.

Act of God is up for 6 dates...

Does anybody remember if Penn & Teller tickets were on TDF the last time they were on Broadway? 

[Hairspray0901]

Has anyone used TDF for Bright Star? Wondering where seats are?

[steven22]

4/21 I saw Bright Star via tdf and got a center rear orch seat. Near perfect. 

[BroadwayNYC2]

Last Week I was Center Orch Row O. I was dead center of the theatre. Amazing seats.

Has anyone gotten The Color Purple on TDF? Wondering where the seats are.

[steven22]

I'm seeing The Humans Wednesday night. Any idea where tdf seats are?

So Jealous! As soon as I saw Humans on there I RACED to get tickets but I was too slow.  All sold out!

For The Humans I got ORch row P, back at the end of March, I was very happy with the location.

[veraclaythorne2]

For The Color Purple, I got 2 tix for Heather's first show - mom and I were in Orch Right, Row P (second-to-last row), close to aisle. Seats were pretty good.

My friend got a single ticket for the same night, and wound up in the last row of the Mezz (K) on the far side. She still felt the view was fine.

[BellaB2]

I'm at The Color Purple right now, and I got Mezz D, right side, and the view from here is great. Also, last time I sat on the left side, so it's nice to be on the other side now!

[theNYCpro]

Thanks for the responses re: the Crucible. Haven't gone yet but will update when I do.

I did see American Psycho last night, and the four TDF tickets I purchased were Mezz row A (first row) seats 6-12 (right). Not bad!

[BellaB2]

Wow, they just announced Cynthia won't do act 2 No idea what's wrong with her, she seemed fine during act 1... I hope she's ok!

The kids and I are coming in for a theater binge the third week of June. I had tried TDF 2-3 years ago but didn't use it on our trip. I see some shows that posters have mentioned that are on our short list this year - Fun Home, Crucible, King and I. 

Questions- How far in advance are tickets released?  What is the max number of tickets for one show?  And is there always the e-tix option (as we won't be home for the mail option)?

[@z5]

you pick up from box office; 9 seats her order typically (assuming availability); ~5 days give or take a few. it's hard to tell how much in advance.

[Malatenj]

One more question - would the summer tourist season and higher capacity numbers mean less tickets offered on TDF?

[@z5]

Possibly...it really is hard to say in advance. But King and I and Fun Home have consistently been up for multiple dates.

[Malatenj]

Ok, one more question (I hope). I just renewed my TDF membership and it looks like it might come in very handy for the shows we were wanting to see on our June trip to the city. 

What is the best way to watch this list for select shows (Fun Home, King and I, Eclipsed, etc.)?  Are they posted at a certain time each day?  If there a custom feed or alert I can set up - through TDF - or another site?  Thanks in advance. 

[neonlightsxo]

No, you kind of just have to check it multiple times throughout the day. This is New York theater, we're not that advanced. :)

[Mr Roxy]

Bad news for American Psycho. It is up for a whopping  8 dates

Got TDF tickets for last Wednesday's matinee. The seat they gave me was Row M, right side. Perfect view. Unfortunately, I was seated between a crinkly-candy unwrapper and a rotund man who coughed and wheezed through the whole first act, so I moved to the entirely empty last row of the orchestra to watch the rest of the show in peace. As long as you're not allllllllll the way over to the side, pretty much any seat is good.
