They should have just done a pro shot and called it a day."A live capture of the London production with Jodie Comer actually does exist. I was fortunate enough to have seen it in movie theaters during its run in 2022."Yes, and it was pretty terrific. Caused us to grab tickets for the Broadway run as soon as they went on sale. Jodie knocked that performance out of the park. FYI, the UK Natio...

Just wanted to point out that three days after the NY Times broke this story on June 26, our alleged paper of record here in DC, The Washington Post (AKA The Bezos Bust), has still not published a word about the change of leadership at Arena. A search on their website for "Hana Sharif" returns two articles from 2023, after it was announced that she had been appointed Artistic Director. This story is unfolding practically in the Post's backyard, yet they are silent even after the Times cleaned...

Just announced The Warriors previews in March and opens in April.

Gee, how I wish I could click on "Toggle Spoiler Content" to read the answer without having to first "Reply to Message." (I believe this glitch has already been reported on the BWW Tech thread, hoping they can resolve the issue soon.)BTW, this is a great quiz question. I never would have come up with the answer, despite being very familiar with the answer. (Doing my best here to keep this spoiler-safe.)

Email received from TDF at 6:17PM:"Dear Member,We are so sorry that this transition to our new ticketing system has been so frustrating. We feel it too and we are working around the clock to get it to the seamless purchase experience we know it can be.Unfortunately, with projects of this scale, we need to be methodical about solving the issues and go in sequential order. We have resolved multiple issues, including and most importantly – all members should now be able to log in and view their ...

gibsons2 said: "Did anyone notice the "buy rewards points" button is gone, or has it disappeared for non-VIP AR members? I used to buy extra points when a little short and it seems it's no longer an option."I lost VIP this year, but I still see the Buy Rewards Points link on the https://www.audiencerewards.com/account page. In the past, I've bought them over the phone, so you might try that if you can't find a way to buy online. 100 points for $2.50. And not sure when they returned, but Trivi...

AllThatJazz2 said: "Anyone able to access the Audience Rewards presale? It's just taking me to the homepage and no indication of the show itself."Just go to Telecharge directly and use promo code BCAUDREW. Telecharge says prices $99-$206, but all I'm seeing in just admittedly a few random looks is $155-$321. The show's page on AR can be found at https://www.audiencerewards.com/tickets/860 It also indicates that to earn 1,000 Bonus AR points per ticket they must be priced at $186 and up (inclu...

Email sent by TDF to members on June 12: "We have an updated timeline for TDF's new membership and ticketing platform. We expect to launch on Monday, June 15 in the afternoon. To facilitate this transition, our system will be offline starting this Sunday, June 14 at 9 p.m. until we go live. During this period, you will not be able to log in or purchase tickets. You will receive an email once we're up and running."

schubox said: "So I just went over to the website out of curiosity and noted it now says this “Tickets will go on sale in Summer 2026”. It was originally May right? I don’t remember seeing the change that"And it now says "Tickets will go on sale in Autumn 2026..."

On a random Saturday evening in April, prices ranged from $447 down to $99, the latter being far left & right side Mezzanine. Anyone having trouble getting in to Telecharge website, try going Incognito.

uncageg said: "So so glad I finally, at least, got to see a production at Arena Stage. I saw "Ride the Cyclone" in 2023 before I moved back out West. It was excellent. Took my best friend from High School who lives there but had never seen a show there. She has since returned for other productions."Arena did a terrific revival of "Damn Yankees" this past season that is headed to Broadway next year.

What show?

Email offer from Manhattan Theatre Club:"THE BALUSTERS: ORCHESTRA SEATS FROM $89 WITH OFFER CODE: SPRING" (NOTE: A quick check of a few dates on Telecharge shows Mezzanine seats also turning red after applying the code.)For performances through May 24. Offer ends April 20.

Be sure to check TodayTix for discounts on this show, mostly mezzanine. Row C center mezz is offered for around $100 vs $154 from the box office. Row E center mezz for around $90 vs $125 box office. (TodayTix had a sale on this show end of Feb. and we scored Row A center mezz for $109 vs $179, but that's not being offered currently.)

Ron Pajak said: "Agreed that this show has been under the radar. That being said, April 4th matinee is basically sold out. Is this possible?"What show are you referring to? There's no mention in your thread title nor in your post.

Mailer for The Balusters: 30% discount at Telecharge with code BLSTRSDRM. Offer valid "for select seating and performances 3/31-4/19."

It's a lousy policy, but It's not just The National. Ticketmaster is notorious among concert ticket buyers for the "Can't leave a single seat" rule, although it often seems to be applied inconsistently from show to show. One of the fan message boards to which I subscribe is always loaded with people bitching about it during an initial onsale when demand is highest, regardless of the venue. I saw the complaints most recently when Springsteen tickets went on sale at multiple venues around the c...

CJRochester said: "CODE: SHAWMANIA2ST for up to 40% discount on Becky Shaw."TodayTix prices seem to be just about the same as buying from box office with this code, although TodayTix does have some seats here and there that are not available from the box office. If you're a TodayTix Gold member, you knock another 10% off the final price, so a savings of $20 or so on a pair, depending on the price of your tickets.

As the OP seems (justifiably) concerned about quality of seats as well as price, I recommend exploring the following two websites that have seating charts for theaters as well as crowd-sourced photos from the particular seat you might be considering. Not every seat in every theatre has photos, but there are enough to give you a good idea of what you're considering for purchase:https://seatplan.comhttps://aviewfrommyseat.com

SteveSanders said: "$40 off of $180 Telecharge discount just appeared in my American Express offers.Cardholders may wish to check their account.I typically buy a gift certificate and then use for a show in the future."Thanks so much for the heads up on this. I've been watching and watching since late last year hoping there would be something for the New Year, and now here we are. Great news, as we have several purchases coming up, and both my wife and I each have the offer. Two data points: T...
