The tickets were more expensive than I was planning on spending. The mid-premium was almost at the back of the orchestra and was 198 a ticket. I didn't want to sit one level up so I went with the 198 dollar ticket. Times 4 tickets and the entire thing was around 800 dollars. Yikes. What I am sure will now happen is what happened when I purchased tickets to see Uma Thurman, Mark Rylance and Clive Owen this fall and then Denzel in the spring.......offer codes appear for 30 percent off. I know it will happen because it always happens but each time I am sure it won't happen and that all of scalpers will buy the entire run.
Is it me or is this not selling as quickly as I expected it to? I would have thought between the two presales a lot of non-premium seats would be gone. Looking at a sampling of different dates there are many, many seats available. I'm a little surprised, but maybe the public sale will be different.
Any good seats are like 400 dollars. Ouch. Then I remember, it's for two shows, so I guess it makes sense. I HATE that they are not allowing people to buy single tickets. I seriously hope that changes during the public sale.
Thinking of getting tickets for May. Most of the good seats are gone for my dates. $398 plus fees seems to be the best "low" price for not rear orchestra and $318 plus fees for front mezzanine. Do people here think that these seats will be all snatched up during the general sale on Monday?
I bought two tickets rear mezz 99 plus fees total for each tickets combined for both performances. How’s the view from the Neil Simon rear mezz? I’ve only sat in the orchestra.
Is the presale code giving us a discount from what the prices will be once sales open up to the general public, or just the chance to buy before the general public?
Chance to buy before the general public. I think prices are what's keeping people from buying tickets. I know people who are interested, but it's too expensive. It was the fastest selling show at the National, but tickets started at 15 pounds per part. I got the $99 tkts for this run, which is about comparable to how much I paid in London, but in London that was on the higher end of the pricing scale.
I think the inability to buy tickets to individual shows is also a factor. Some people may want to see part 1 and then wait a week or two to see part 2, but this forces you to do it all in 1 day or consecutive days. This schedule works for Potter since the subject matter is lighter and run time shorter. Some people may just want a real break between the 2 parts of this.
I am looking at the prices for Wednesday, March 28th vs Saturday, March 31st.
Backrow seats are $99 on Wednesday vs. $198 on Saturday. Is there a possibility that this is a mistake? That seems like a very drastic bump for the same seat.
I grabbed 1 ticket today Row T smack dab in the middle. I'm coming from Canada and planning on being there for Pride weekend so I couldn't justify spending around $350-$400 CDN for a lower/mid mezzanine seat in case my plans changed. I just had to give my Torch Song ticket to my friend because life happened and I couldn't make my trip. Luckily I had bought it during pre-sale as a 30 under 30 so it was only $50 for a 5th row orchestra seat. For Angels, I just wanted to make sure I snagged a ticket before they sold out. Any experience with back of the mezzanine seats? I've never been to this theatre before and I haven't been able to find anything online seat view wise?
If anyone cares, I opted for Row U since I'll need an aisle seat, but row U is shorter than the other rows, so the aisle seat is pretty much in the center. Just a little tip for anyone that is going for the cheap seats and wants an aisle seat.
