I see that I cannot purchase a ticket at all now because it says I already used my purchase for that production. I'm guessing this will change after they do refunds?"
It usually resets when the refund is processed.

You're such a sanctimonious ****Jordan, reserving for yourself the right to comment on proceedings around here.

Any interest being made right now off advance ticket sales is fairly insignificant as rates collapsed weeks ago.

Should Congress Take $ Back from the Kennedy Center? Apr 5
2020, 05:32:48 PM
The CARES act contains huge monies for medical needs:
For healthcare providers, the act has a range of measures. It appropriates $1.32 billion in grants for COVID-19 testing by federally funded healthcare centers. It authorizes expedited staffing of permanent direct hires for the National Disaster Medical System. It extends federal support for telemedicine with grants of $29 million per year for the next five years to telehealth networks and resource centers, and it also extends federal support for rural healthcare with grants of $79.5 million per year for the next five years. Importantly, it protects volunteer healthcare workers from liability for treatment of COVID-19 in preemption of state laws, allowing healthcare providers to treat patients and work to contain outbreaks where they might otherwise not be licensed or face liability. The act also streamlines patient medical record information sharing for the epidemic and authorizes home delivery of medical nutrition services for patients who are self-isolating.

Bootlegs during Quarantine Apr 5
2020, 07:46:31 AM
Not a fan of bootlegs for the excellent reasons Kad previously noted. I've always wondered if any in-between step would be for theatre companies to make lower res videos available in a format locked to a smaller window (you can't make them full screen). Dance companies have often done this with excerpts from their numbers. It gives you a taste of the live performance, but is sufficiently inadequate that it would be unlikely to discourage someone from paying to actually see

Issues can be raised as aggressively as one desires without including irrelevant attacks or commentary about how an individual dresses. People's policies or actions are what matters, not what they wear.

I'm don't obsess over it. I think it is just a desirable courtesy on an active message board. It is hard to meaningfully engage in the conversation when the same topic is spread over multiple threads. You have to go to each one to see what people are saying and where you want to engage. It doesn't take much effort to do a quick check to see if a thread exists for a topic before starting yet another one.

Understand your frustration, but there is not a single news headline about NYC right now that suggests in any way that Broadway shows will be operating on May 1. All evidence is to the extreme contrary.

Broadway to Close? Apr 1
2020, 05:04:28 PM
nycward said: "I think the real issue about when broadway will reopen is the reality of who in the hell will actually show up? I can't imagine that once Broadway gets the go ahead to reopen that there will be much of a tourist industry left and frankly I can't imagine being in a closed space of a Broadwaytheatre for some time to come. The economics will be bleak for a rather long time for not only producers and traditional backers but an audience that will have limited resources for travel and entertainment.A pandemic like this will create a slump that will last for a very long timeand that is what is really so sad."
Similar point made in this NYT article:
“The psychology won’t just bounce back,” said Charles Dumas, chief economist at TS Lombard, an investment research firm in London. “People have had a real shock. The recovery will be slow, and certain behavior patterns are going to change, if not forever at least for a long while.”

Pretty much everything related to the closure is already being discussed in "Broadway to Close?," "Which shows will Covid-19 end?," and "Ticket Refunds."

Broadway to Close? Mar 31

It is one thing for guidelines to allow for people to be out and about again routinely, but it is quite another thing for shows to be ready to welcome patrons again ... as others have previously noted here and in other threads. I'd imagine theater offerings will remain fairly slim during at least the early summer months.

No way of knowing for sure of course, but it is also possible that pent up demand for vacation, tourism, getting out, et al, might lead to less of a need for big stars, so long as appealing shows are on the boards.

A lot of people are going to want to do a lot of things. Much of it is unlikely to occur on the timetables they prefer. By many indications, we're going to remain in unpredictable circumstances for some time, so predictions of the future will remain unreliable as well.

Maybe worry and be concernedabout yourself and not how other people want to express their views? I would think that would be a very frustrating way to live your life. All opinions are valid here, even those you don't approve of and dislike."
We get it.
You're consistently hateful, dismissive, or treat others with contempt instead of trying a little civility or assuming good intentions.
