I'm really sorry to hear that.  When we went in April, we ended up getting Orch R, Seats 13-19 and they were excellent. In hearing this, I'm afraid to roll the dice on other shows I've had my eyes on.

Does anyone see a chance for Appropriate to discount performances in June? I believe the final performance is the Sunday matinee and there are plenty of seats available (all month, actually).

I've never stage-doored before, how long after the performance do the actors typically come out to sign and greet?

I see this is on TKTS for tomorrow's matinee - are Sutton and Aaron not doing matinees?

Heading into the city on Wednesday and was going to try lottery for Merrily - anyone have prior success? Also curious on seat locations.

Best discount code for Chicago (a January Sat. evening performance)?

Thank you! Any advice on best seating outside of the premium pricing? Is Center Orch Row Q too far, or should I shoot for a side orchestra seat a little closer? 

Looking to get really good seats for Wicked in January (Christmas present), and while I'm used to Telecharge I'm very conflicted on how to get good Orchestra seats for this show without getting crushed on fees. Haven't seen the show since it opened, but want optimal seats at the best price if possible.

Joe Allen is our go-to each time. 

As mentioned in the other thread, I got M1 for HADESTOWN for 500 points and $60 - 2/8 matinee.

Using audience rewards, I was able to get Orchestra R, Row M seat 1. Very excited - only 500 points and $60. Feels like a steal! 

Thanks everyone for your advice.

I realized I'm now being nit-picky about my seats given the $60 price tag, but I was told to avoid orchestra for this show. Can someone dispel that for me so I can move on and just buy the dang ticket?

Thank you - just realized I have 1100 points! I've never checked it before.

I was really holding out for front mezz, but seems you won't know location until after purchase. Is there any way to make a special request? It just says "select orchestra", and I'm afraid they're gonna put me too close.

Has anyone had recent experience with Hadestown rush (Lucky Seat)? I'm very much interested in Leopoldstat, as well - but would prefer Hadestown much more.

Okay, that's really great to know. I was thinking of just getting to box office 15 minutes before curtain, but I'll do the booth instead.

I was going to ask about lottery - via Lucky Seats. Is this a good resource? My big dilemma is that we are getting into the city and headed straight to lunch before the show (44th and 9th), so box office might be a stretch cutting it close to curtain. Not sure if there will be anything left at TKTS booth, but maybe I can go there first before lunch.

Rest of my crew seeing POTO on the 2/8 matinee, and since I just saw it a few months ago I'm thinking I'll try and see either Hadestown or...well, I really want to see Hadestown. Any advice for getting a great seat at a great price? I'd maybe consider Funny Girl or even Leopolstadt.

Has anyone tried both rush and lottery, and can advise on best route to take? If the lottery is digital and I don't have to be in Times Square at 10 to get the rush seats, I'd prefer the digital lottery. Again, trying to snag the best seats possible this Saturday so just wondering if anyone has a strong opinion.

Or do I just head to TKTS booth?

I will be in the city the weekend of 11/11 and thinking I want to catch the 11/12 matinee. Can anyone recommend the best way to get good seats without having to pay full price? I see this is on TKTS alot, does anyone know if the seats have been good?

Rather than start a new thread, figured I'd just use this thread to seek same advice.

If given a choice for this show (saw many years ago from Mezzanine at New Amsterdam) - would you do right orchestra seat in row F/G (seats2 and 4), or grab a center orchestra aisle seats in row Q or R? We will have younger kids and this will be their first Broadway show (ages 8 and 9)!
