Has anybody purchased the $25 tickets on todaytix? How are the seats? I was thinking about buying them for next week, but would rather get them through tdf for a little more if they are severely partial view. Thanks!

I was on the aisle, mezzanine right in row A. PERFECT seat. Maybe the best deal on a Broadway ticket I’ve ever had. I did just purchase one ticket though so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an anamoly.

There are a couple of comments on them in the current last page of the show thread. It seems to be a decent view:

For what it's worth, I did TDF on Sunday and got orchestra row E, dead center. Literally a perfect vantage point.

Went to Sunday’s matinee. We had two tickets - we were second to last row of mezzanine on the left aisle of the center mezz. View was totally good, great value for $25!

I have a $25 ticket for the matinee tomorrow, I will let you know!

On a side note, what time do the TodayTix people show up? I’ve never bought from them besides lotto tickets, which are held at willcall.

I had a single ticket this afternoon and got row G, seat 3 in the mezzanine. I’m 5’11’’ and my knees were over the seat in front of me. Thankfully the show was great or it would have been seriously unbearable.

If you have TDF (people I talked to at stage door all had front orchestra seats) or can rush, I would do that for a few more dollars. It was a great view but there really was zero leg room.

n2nbaby, When I saw the show I sat in row G also but seat 114, aisle seat, center section.  I chose this seat for price, but also the map showed there was no seat in front of me.  I thought great more leg room and no head in front of me.  When I got into the theater, the map was wrong, and there was a seat in front of me.  No leg room and I am 6'3.  My left leg kept cramping up and I could hardly walk down all those stairs to the bathroom at intermission.  I said something to the House Manager about the seating chart being wrong.  He told me I was incorrect.  I made him look it up on his phone and I was proven correct.  I told him about the legroom and my leg cramping, but he did nothing to move me.  So after intermission, I sat there with my legs sprawled out onto the stairs.I did enjoy the show more then, but alot of it had to do with the scenes with Mercedes Ruhl.

Quite a few Broadway theater have mezzanines with excruciatingly cramped seating. I had the $25 seats for Torch Song Saturday night. I think we were in Row F, seats 6 and 8. While I enjoyed the view a lot, my knees were killing me, even though I had put on a pain patch in anticipation. I should have also gulped down a couple of Advil. I did enjoy the show, but my knee pain was a sad distraction. I've had similar experiences in the Golden and the Brooks Atkinson.

I was row E in the very last seat on the right. Despite being so far over, I didn’t feel like I missed anything and was pleased with the seat. I do agree with other posters that the seats in the mezzanine are very cramped. I’m only 5ft and felt it, so I can’t imagine a taller person’s comfort. Loved the show!

For the matinee yesterday I was put in orchestra seat F9, all the way to the right. I was initially disappointed in the view when I sat down, but the two seats next to me were empty, so I was able to scoot over as the lights were coming down and see better. I missed very little, and I enjoyed the close view immensely.

When I saw the show via TDF a few weeks ago, I got row F in the mezz.
