I'm in the States so I set my alarm for 2:50 AM to wake up so I can get a ticket.  I registered for the pre-sale access and got in queue with 1500 people ahead of me.  When it got to my turn (maybe a 15 minute wait), I was able to snag a ticket in the stalls for the final performance on 8/3.  I'm glad I got a ticket.  I wasn't planning on a trip to London in August, but now I'll have to plan at least a weekend trip for this show.

And magnets.

Unlikely, most of this cast is already on the Original 2013 Public Theater Cast Recording including Jose Llana and Conrad Ricomora.  .

I saw Josh and Analeigh once when they were still in previews.  I wasn't planning on going back, but now this casting of Aaron and Sutton has me intrigued.  I've always been a fan of both, and I'd be interested to see what they do with these roles.  Neither have played anything remotely like these characters.  I may even splurge for some better seats this time around.

It says to use 'AMEXKKC' on the Seat Geek site.

Broadway prices are ridiculous.  I saw Cabaret 4 times in the West End with 4 different Emcee/Sally combo including Eddie and Jessie and the latest duo of Jake Shears and Rebecca Lucy Taylor and I don't think I paid more than 100 GBP for tickets in the lower level orchestra.  London is definitely the way to go to get more entertainment for your bucks.

You use the code at the box office and save on $16.50 service charge per ticket.

Agree with everyone that said it was too long.  Drove down from Boston to see the first preview and it was totally worth it.  Wasn't expecting to have to drive back after 11 PM.  I haven't seen any other productions of Camelot besides the one-night benefit concert back in 2019 with Lin-Manuel Miranda, but I thought the 3 leads were phenomenal.  I think I'm going to see this one more time to see what changes they make after previews.

Seeing so many tickets being snagged at the last minutes gives us all hope.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure this trend will continue after the holiday weekend.  

I was at Funny Girl on Sunday.  They had signed playbills for $175 and signed posters for $300.

If this is as good as I think it will be, I'll probably be back later on in the run via lottery or something else."

Honestly, those side aisles in the rear mezzanine (seats 1 and 2) have a better view than anything in the center sections back there.

Looking forward to the other shows of the season too."

Now I wish I had done the same.   Looks like the only membership available is $1750.  All the cheaper memberships are sold out.  I’m kind of surprised that they had a cap on memberships.  I would think they would want to have as many members as possible.
