go to the theater a few hours before the show and wait on cancellation line. If you're 1st or 2nd, or even 3rd or 4th in line, you'll def. get tixs!

Well, definitely try the cancellation line. And why not put your name in lotto for the heck of it? Meanwhile, keep checking Ticketmaster for tickets...you never know.

If you call Ticketmaster the day before the show or even the morning of the show, they sometimes have tickets that have become available.

You'll do much better with the Ticketmaster website. That's where the house seats are released first; the telephone people get what's left over.

you can always get tickets at sites like neversoldout.com, and stubhub.com - they're both very reliable, but you'll end up overpaying in most cases. depends on how bad you want to get in to certain shows

What day were you looking for in October? I have some tickets I'm trying to get rid of. PM me if you're still looking. But I agree, Ticketmaster sometimes pops up with great seats on a day that's been sold out for awhile, so keep trying.

For example, if you go online right now, you could buy 2nd row for tomorrow night, or 5th row for tonight.

Cancellation Line is the biggest waste of time ever. They keep you on line right up untill the performance. It's such a waste. They only give out about 15 tickets, and the guy even said that's odd at times. I tried before Cheno left, was online for 5 hours, and got crap...it was such a complete WASTE.

I did cancellation line the day before Cheno left. I waited for 5 hours and got Orchestra center row C. I thought it was an amazing experience; the seat was awesome. A lot of people behind me got tickets, too. And it was cool to talk to people in line. So I would definitely recommend cancellation line. It's gone down a lot since Cheno left, so you won't have to wait that long.

I think you just have to be crazy to wait online for 5 hours. I did it once, and wont ever again. Such a complete waste of time. Right when we got the window for tickets, the guy announced sorry no more tickets left. It was a terrible experience. And personally, I think it's insane too wait on that line. The day I went the first few people in line camped out, and got there at like 6 am, and I think they were loosers and have no life for doing that. lol. It's just Wicked. I love it, but not worth wating forever on a line.
