Just took a look at Telecharge and was very shocked to see how drastically the ticket prices for The Band’s Visit have been lowered for dates from January 8-March 10. The entire mezzanine (front and rear) has been reduced to $35 and every orchestra seat (including ones previously classified as premium) are $65 - could this be a major Telecharge error? I love the show and hope it can continue to run a while, but this has me quite concerned
Update: not a Telecharge glitch! It’s a holiday sale lasting until December 5. For performances Jan 8 to March 10, all orchestra seats are $65 and all mezzanine seats are $35. INSANE. Grab ‘em while you can!

Amazing! These should be same prices at box office, right? I figure go in person to avoid those extra handling fees.
Is orchestra better than front mezz? I couldn’t tell from a view from your seat.
No one knows for certain how long Katrina will be in the show. She obviously extended her contract (which was up in October). Whether she did six months, a year, or something between is anybody's guess. Go as soon as possible is my only (not super useful) advice to ensure you catch her
I saw the show in previews from the last row of the mezzanine, and I did not care for it. With this deal, though, I have decided to go back and give this a second chance as many have told me being closer might enhance my experience.

This makes me so happy! Hope you enjoy it when you're closer. I think you will.

I've watched this show from all over the theatre, and front mezzanine is still a very good spot. It's not like the Barrymore is a huge cave of a theatre. Even the "bad" seats are still relatively close, especially compared to other Broadway houses, not to mention some of the giant spaces that are out on the road that many tourists are probably accustomed to.
I saw it a year ago and loved it as I did the original movie. Wanted to see it again with Sasson during my next NYC visit and was going to do rush, but for just $25 more, got third row dead center orchestra for late January. Sweet! Can't wait.

Front Mezz is what I was going for. Thanks for the help everyone! And yes, I am used to the Boston Opera house, a behemoth of a theatre. Gorgeous, glad I grew up seeing shows there, bit visiting NYC more often now I love love love the smaller theatres. Appreciate all the help!
Does anyone know if Katrina has any planned vacations scheduled in the next few months? I just bought a ticket yesterday and forgot to ask the box office attendant if Katrina is scheduled to be out anytime in the next few months.
Just bumping this to thank my friends on the board for posting this discount. Loved the show even more the second time around from amazing seats for only $65 each.
