Hello Dolly Past Dated Tix This Week#1
Posted: 9/6/17 at 1:07pm

Hi friends!

Looking for some advice. I have a couple Hello Dolly tix I wasn't able to use for Bette and since past dating them to see her would be impossible, I'm thinking about using them this week to see Donna. I could save them for Bernadette, but I don't know if I'd get stuck with them then like I would if I were holding out for Bette.

The original tix were $189 seats in the orchestra. Would anyone be interested in going or should I just hold onto them? I'd meet you at the theatre and see the show as well. I know tix to see Donna aren't a hot commodity around here, but figured I'd ask. Also not expecting to make the $189/ticket back given that (sadly) her performances are heavily discounted.

Thanks!

IMO, I would try to past date tickets as soon as you can.  They are under no obligation to do so, and the longer you wait, the more likely they may refuse you.  They may even tell you Hello, Dolly starring Bernadette Peters is a new production, and they can't honor tickets from Hello, Dolly starring Bette Midler.  Donna Murphy is excellent in the role.

I spoke to a couple Telecharge representatives who said, and I'm paraphrasing, "The tickets you have are good for past dating as long as this show is playing at this theatre." I called this morning because originally I was told that they had a note that said they wouldn't past date until after 9/1. Called on 9/1 and was told only weekdays. Called today and he said the note is no longer there but he was unsure if it was only because Donna is on this week or if it's lifted for good and that either way I can definitely past date them for this week.

What exactly is 'past dating' ? I've heard it mentioned here before, but not at all familiar with it. Thanks for any explanation someone can give!

The OP pretty much said it in his post...he has unused tix for a date that has passed.  A number of shows will still honor the tix with some restrictions.  Those are usually: not arranged in advance, a weekday performance, and with little regard to your original seat assignment.

Thanks for the response. I wasn't too clear on the OP's message. I never knew you can trade in your tickets if you've missed a performance.
