HELLO, DOLLY! Sets August 25 Closing Date; Bette Midler to Return July 17

[Stage Door Sally]

Used cell phones and a computer starting at 9:55. My first computer try went through quickly. I chose super premium tickets for 8/25 8 p.m., perfect! Chose two great seats, but then got the "no ticketing sessions available message" and could not finish the purchase. Kept clicking to buy them to no avail. While that was happening, one of my cell phones went through and I explained the issue with the customer service rep. (very nice young man). He could not get those tickets to show as available (probably because I had them selected online). But then he said he was getting a message that NO tickets were available for that performance. My husband was listening to this and said get the matinee, he would prefer that. So I asked for 8/25 2 p.m. and the same seats I wanted for 8 p.m. were available for 2 p.m. So I'm good. It's the matinee, but I am good with that. But I am NOT happy with the Telecharge online experience. FAIL.

I don’t know if it may be the date you’re choosing. I finally got through at 10:10am, getting a matinee on August 18 - Row C center mezzanine.

Yay!!! So happy to hear this, Dollypop!

[madela2]

Anyone have insight into how annoying the aisle bar/rail is in Balcony A2?

[CPannullo]

Got my closing night tickets!!

[@z5]

Got a ticket!!! Pissed though that I had to pay telecharge "service and convenience fees" when it was anything but.

[Ben Sassoon]

Just got front row balcony, A111 and A112 for about $120 each including fees for Tuesday 14th August

As soon as I posted this, I managed to get through on my phone. Surprised at how inexpensive non-premium orchestra seats are compared to what I was expecting--it's really nice they didn't jack up the prices because of the closing/Bette's return.

[DAME]

Got front mezz row B closing night. Now I have to book airline tickets. Prices were not bad.

[haterobics]

Got my same closing night ticket as January (although I never actually used that one, since I switched to the benefit at night), C10 in Orchestra.

And I was taking a friend to see MFL two weeks earlier, but he and I have talked a LOT about Dolly, and how much he wished he saw Bette in it, so... I sorted us out in row M off to the side in the orchestra for that day.

I thought I had a fail, since I was on the LAST screen of processing payment for the final performance when I was starting the checkout process for the others in another browser. As soon as I submitted my name and password, the other browser threw an error about another session with the same account or somesuch. I thought it was over, but then I got email confirmation for both, and both show up in my Telecharge account, so close call...

Worth noting now that we can see the performance schedule that Bette will be doing 7 shows a week during her final run. Off on Sundays and Mondays.

[CT2NYC]

Got my balcony center row A seat for closing night. Now to sell my balcony center row A seat for 7/15...

They posted that on the Dolly site on Thursday night, I think.

[Stage Door Sally]

Glad everyone is getting their Dolly tickets!

I was shocked they were still only $229.

[Zamedy154]

GOT THROUGH to get my closing show tickets, too! Telecharge was literally showing ONE seat left - Right Orchestra, Row K, Seat 22. And the price wasn't nearly as high as I was expecting either! Not thrilled I'll be so far over but can't believe I got tickets to THE final show for Bette and this entire delicious production! Certainly something to look forward to in the stressful months ahead at work. 

And so, so happy to read that Dollypop and so many other Dolly diehards will be there, too! Maybe we can organize a big group Dolly dinner beforehand. So excited!

[Stage Door Sally]

Super Premium for 8/25 8 p.m. were $610 each. Less for other dates and times.

At some point during the sale, they wisely switched over to only showing you the best option, and not the whole seating chart to pick from...

[TBone]

It took me almost an hour, but I was finally able to purchase tickets for the closing performance via the app.

3rd row center balcony.

Yeah, same. I honestly expected them to be over $300 for non-premium orchestra, and I was braced for my pair to hit four figures. The fact it wasn't is...both surprising and quite pleasant. They could have sold out this run charging whatever they wanted. And don't get me wrong, $229 a ticket is still quite expensive, but in relative terms? Probably the best bargain on Broadway this August.

I got mine for closing night - Aug 25th via the phone - side Orchestra, row P.   I couldn't get through on the Telecharge site as it kept timing me out, or it wouldn't recognize the letters/numbers that you have to put at the bottom of the page to prove you aren't a bot. It would ask me to reenter it again.

Let's hope that this is really the final last show.  I saw her last final 2 shows in January. 

[BroadwayConcierge]

Looks to me like closing night is now totally sold out.

I'm so excited for you and hoping you get your birthday too. Are you planning on seeing Betty Buckley on the tour or do you just do Broadway?

I am excited, I got Bette's last performance.  I was at Bernadette's first.  I will be there next Thursday for anormal show and I also plan to watch it on tour. I wish I had seen Donna Murphy too.

Pretty sure I can answer that one.

YES!
