Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Seating/Pricing Thread

[stlrod]

I’m within the 28 day window but rolled the dice and grabbed the $130 6th Row orchestra seats and put my mezzanine seats on stubhub.  Here’s hoping I can net what I paid for the orchestra seats. (Even somewhere in between will be a win since i would be complaining if prices had gone up.)

There's a 6-ticket limit per transaction, but, as far as I know, there's no longer a 6-ticket total limit. That was a holdover from the presale, but I believe it no longer applies.

You could still try for a refund on Ticketmaster. Doesn't hurt to ask. 

Plus, if you bought them before April 3, the 14-day window applies:

I had purchased prime tickets for 5/26 in the mezzanine because they were the only ones available. Today, several sets in the center of the orchestra became available at $130 per part which were probably considered premium at one point."

It's maddening. I paid $299 apiece for a pair of center orchestra tickets, and now people are getting neighboring seats for much less. I know that I can continue to monitor availability and return the ones I have if I find a better deal, but it's a lot of work and I just don't think it's fair. It really shouldn't be this much work.

Just returned OrchR Row E 22 and 24 for May 19th. Should pop up for sale soon.

Thanks for the suggestion macnyc. Ticketmaster was able to cancel the reservation even though I was within the 28 days.

[macnyc]

So glad to hear that!

Email from the official site;

More tickets have been released for preformencee through June 10,2018

[CT2NYC]

They just sent an email about more tickets being released. Time for another purge of seats that have been on there for days. I don't see anything new, at all.

They actually released front row dress circle for the Sunday I’m going to be in town, but I can’t drop $1000 for two tickets for a play

Great news!  If anyone has had success returning tickets within the return window, could you please share your experience with me on how you were able to make it happen?  Maybe message me, if you can?  I was told yesterday that the promoter had blocked access to my order and that nothing could be done, even though the agent said he wanted to override the policy.  Thanks for any tips.

[stlrod]

It might have helped that I told them I bought tickets for an alternative date and gave them the order number.

Just picked up J2 for the 17-18 of this month for 130! Looks like ppl are canceling and rebooking so keep looking.

Anyone have a guess why a random Sunday, September 23, would have no show?

[(Insert Clever Name)]

Actors Fund performance? Or filming for the archives?

The flea market is on that day, but it seems odd they wouldn’t have a performance because of that. Maybe it’s a benefit performance, sort of like the one on May 12th and the’ll open up tickets later on?

Did ticketmaster refund the fees?   I have rebooked other shows in the past , but I don't think TM refund the fees.

 

[macnyc]

The fees are refunded.

Yes, they refund everything.  I've done it a few times now, and it's been very easy (I use live chat).  My refund shows up within 3-4 days.

[Theatre_Mom]

I just canceled my May 27th day tickets.  So within the 28 day window.

I did it by phone.  I did tell them I had a booking for a later date (May 2019)  and they issued the full refund,  including all fees.

When I tried by chat yesterday they said they could not do the refund.   But I didn't mention to the chat person I had a later booking so maybe that was the problem.

Has anybody here seen the show from the balcony like row A or B, and if so how was the view?

I have not (though I have Balcony Row E for October), but someone posted pictures on aviewfrommyseat (my new favorite website, at least when it comes to booking tickets to shows and concerts) and the view look amazing.

I went to the last row of balcony and it's not a bad view at all. Sure it'll look more like a diorama but it's full-view and certainly a better view than the worst seat in London's Palace theatre.

I checked and by some miracle found $40/part tickets for tomorrow night! Center balcony C.
