I was assuming the Martini jingle would have been international and therefore recognised by an American audience. Having said that, the recognition (or otherwise) of both jingles may have as much to do with the period as it does with the product.
WannaBeAFoster, how did you manage to score front row center tickets??
"I bought it the day the box office opened."
With wild dreams of buying a cancellation first row orchestra seat for tonight (Friday) or tomorrow (Saturday), I got to the box office and found out I could get a sixth row premium ticket for $300something tonight, or a non-premium 17th row ticket for tomorrow nite. Bottom line, the first twelve rows center orchestra and first two seats on the orchestra aisle are all premium priced, I managed to get a sixth row orchestra for "regular" price of $116.50 for a Thursday nite in October, as I was the third seat off the aise in the side orchestra.
So, at least I will see it relatively soon. Would I have paid for a premium ticket if I could get first row center? I guess I'll never know.
My front row center seat was $116.50. It wasn't premium.

I'm seeing the show in a week from front row, right orchestra aisle seats that I also paid $116 for, and I didn't even get them on the day the box office opened.

Unsold premium seats are always released and sold the day of the performance at normal ticket prices. You just have to time it and go to the box office a few hours before curtain when they are released. Thats one of the reasons why its always best to get tickets to Broadway shows last minute.
