So am I, but I paid only $40 per part, so I can't complain. My understanding is that the dress circle is being extended forward, so the old row H will be the new row M, and so on. There are pics on A View From My Seat from the last 3 rows of the dress circle before the renovation, and the balcony overhang doesn't look terrible.

Slightly off topic but when I see the title of this show, all I can think about is the name: Harry Potter and the SCREAMING CHILD because I'm sure it will be at my performance.

That's good. I didn't realize the dress circle had been extended forward. I assumed the seats were added in the rear. I sat in the dress circle for On the Town and loved the view.

I didn't know that either that the dress circle was moved forward. Did they make that as a formal announcement? Overall that's great for dress circle but sucks for those sitting in the rear part of the orchestra.

I think I read it somewhere in a thread on here, not a formal announcement.

They're actually building out the front of the dress circle? I've never heard of something like that being done for a specific show; anyone know if this has happened before?

I'm 25,000! I'm hoping everyone ahead of me has credit card problems. LOL

Plus, people can shop for one hour! This may take a while.

I guess I'll be hanging on to the too-expensive, way-in-the-back tickets I bought yesterday.

Also have three computers going - 23,852 was my best of three.  I honestly don't know why I'm bothering.  Can anyone report back on June dates once they are in since I literally only have two options in June and otherwise I'm completely out?  If everything is completely gone I'd love to know.  Thanks!

Well I just got orchestra row f aisle seats for June. I lucked out and got a low queue number. I had my pc and two phones going. My pc was the low number and the phones were a ridiculous high numbers. There are a ton of dates in green.

How utterly ridiculous.   As I'm AT school, I was in two different room straddling the 11 oclock time....so I joined the cue line in both.   At the computer I was at AT 11 (NOT my room, so I couldn't stay more than a few minutes, I was appox 9400 ; now back in MY room?   33,400.   

 

What a crock of crap!   Is ANYONE actually getting tickets?
