What is the likeliness of next to normal having tickets available on TDF for the 4th of July weekend? I need to know whether it is worth waiting for TDF or if I should use a public discount code when it becomes available.
I think it is very likely. It's been on their current offerings list for just about as long as I can remember, and I think it was even available throughout the holidays. I also think that since they recouped, it is likely to still be playing at that time. The only thing I would say is that the tickets that you get from them might be in the rear of the orchestra, which has and obstructed view of the third level of the set. Now, there is not much that happens up there, BUT, if you want to see ALL of "I'm Alive" then your should buy the tickets through the discount code. I absolutely love the end of the show, and visually, it is not as powerful if you can't see all 3 levels. Look at Limelight Mike's avatar and you'll see the stage picture to which I'm referring (as long as he hasn't changed his avatar).

I have gotten my tickets through tdf about 75% of the time. About half of the time my tickets from tdf have been in the obstructed section, which is why I always hope that my tickets through tdf are in the balcony. I'd rather sit in the balcony and a full view of the stage then be in the orchestra and not be able to see the whole set.

I'm not sure what kind of cheap you're looking for, but there are always tickets sold at the box office for the last row of the mezzanine for $36.50, or $41.50 on Friday, Saturday matinee and evening, and Sunday matinee. I have sat there and though it may be less intimate, you can definitely see everything except for one second near the beginning when Diana comes fairly far downstage.
WF11...I just got back from the matinee. I got 6 tickets through TDF for today, and they were in row K of the orchestra, on the side. We had a full view of the entire set. Just FYI.

I am from Germany and will visit NYC end of May for a week. I am not familiar with TDF. I read that there is a 20-50% reduction to tickets. Do they also have tickets for the rear mezzanine tickets? I am dying to see n2n. But my bf doesnt want to spend a lot. Would u recommend me to buy tickets for 36,50 now or try the lottery or look on TDF (for the monday show)?
LVB2...I'm so glad you'll be going to see Next to Normal while you're here. I think I would buy the $41 seats in the balcony. It's really not a big theater, so you're not nearly as far away as you would be in some of the larger venues. I'm just afraid that if you get the TDF seats you'll have an obstructed view and miss something. I'd rather sit in the last row of the balcony in the middle than be all the way on the side in the orchestra and miss everything on that side of the stage.
