Little Shop of Horrors Tickets

[TheaterMe]

We will be in NYC in late October. I've been looking for tickets for Little Shop Of Horrors.  Are they all gone already?

[DoTheDood]

From looking at Telecharge, all the tickets for the show (minus the days Glick is stepping in) are sold out. There were rumors of the show having a rush policy, but I think that's what the $99 front row seats tickets were for, which were sold about a week ago. Unless they have another rush policy coming soon, no tickets for any date in October are available. 

Correction: All normal tickets for dates in October were sold out. There are a few dates open that still have at best 4 seats, but they are premium, at around $199. I had checked before and those tickets were not available last time, so some seats could open up too. Then again, all are going to be premium priced seats.

They've released a handful of premiums for scattered dates throughout September and October.

[TheaterMe]

I'm slow. I just figured out how to search for a range of dates using telecharge. Not a single ticket available between September 17 and November 3. Resale seats are going for $400 + fees. I should have snapped up some of those premium tickets that showed up for brief second. Since I live across the country, I can't come to NYC in hopes of getting a rush ticket. Let's hope they extend.

The $99 front row tickets that were sold when the box office opened last week were only during previews. I haven't been following this as much but perhaps the rush after the show opens is for front row? Who knows...

$69 seat M 5 available on Telecharge for Friday 11/15, a Gideon performance.

There are a few December dates just before the holidays on Stubhub for around $150-160 which seems to be less money than whatever’s left available on Telecharge. If anyone can make it in December, those are worth checking out before they’re gone too!

And if anyone is interested in a Wednesday matinee show on either Dec. 4, 11, or 18, there are still several $119 tickets available in the back few rows as of right now.

[CT2NYC]

There's 1 $199 seat available on Telecharge for Wednesday, 9/18.

I just picked up a single ticket for September 21 matinee row G Center orchestra for 199. I’m very happy since I’m only in New York for two days and I really want to see the show. Hope it will be worth it !

[TheaterMe]

I see premium tickets available for tonight and this weekend shows via telecharge.  Some in October too.

[TheaterMe]

It looks like they are now selling six of the front row seats for many dates in October.  Unfortunately, all are for premium ($199-239) prices.

[TheaterMe]

I see front row seats available for most shows thru and including closing night.  Wish I had unlimited funds and could see it ... though I've heard the front row can be quite the spit fest.

Definitely not the best seat in the house if you want to stay dry, but people will pay those prices. Somewhere.

I have 1 ticket for LITTLE SHOP for sale. 11/23 @ 8pm. L 109. Paid $212.50. Asking just to get my money back = $212.50. Will entertain SERIOUS and reasonable offers. Have the physical ticket. Will either mail to you OR meet you at the theater the night of the performance and hand off in person. Need payment NOW though.

[Pose2]

Your post comes off as aggressive, weird, and desperate. No one is going to pay someone and then hope they show up at the theater two months from now. And yelling words like SERIOUS and NOW comes off demanding. Sorry. 

[dramamama611]

Because your post is a ray of sunshine?

First off, no one asked your opinion.

Second, the first option listed is for me to mail the ticket, which is what I would expect to do this far in advance. I only offered the other as an alternative if a potential buyer was nervous about the state of today's US Postal System (like my mother is) or if no one bit on this until two moths from now just before the show.

Third, the times I haven't stressed the word SERIOUS offers when I've sold pricey items online (eBay, other message boards, etc.), I've had all kinds of people message me insane offers like $5-$10 and such, completely wasting my time.

Fourth, how untrustworthy can I be. My profile photo is actually a picture of me. I don't hide behind generic pics of celebrities or flowers or the like. 

Lastly, I'm trying to make sure this ticket is offered to people who are actual fans at the same exact price I paid (maybe even a little less) rather than the nasty people severely hiking up the prices and selling to just anyone on StubHub and other ticketing sites at a huge profit and this is the thanks I get. Nice!

[Pose2]

I just laughed. Hard. Thanks for that, and GOOD LUCK selling this GREAT TICKET! I am sure you will GET TONS of offers!!!

So, a person is trustworthy online because they show a photo of themselves? That has nothing to do with money and getting ripped off. No one will pay anything upfront for a ticket you may or may not mail. You can just disappear with their money. It happens often online, Bob. You being defensive about this doesn't really help matters.

Agreed. People pay the service fee on stubhub because the ticket is guaranteed. If the seller doesn't make good, the seller is charged so the buyer can buy a replacement ticket.

With those options that protect the buyer, expecting anyone to send money in advance on the hope the other person is honest and will mail the ticket is naive at best.

Has anyone tried the lottery already? I know last night was the first night. I've never done a lottery for a show before and was wondering if they give you the option of sitting together with your party, or would we have to sit separately? (2 in our party)

The lottery has been going on since their first preview. What happened yesterday is they pushed the lottery closer to curtain. More information on the lottery here.
