My cousin (all the way from Alaska!!) and I will be in NYC during the Tonys, and we would LOVE to go to the award presentation. All that I can find out right now is that it will be held on June 5th at Radio City Music Hall. I would really appreciate ANY info about how to get tix (since I don’t know anyone that important), about how much they might cost, when they’re available to purchase, etc. Also, what’s appropriate for “little people” (and I don’t mean Leprechauns) to wear, what seats are generally available, etc, etc. Thanks so much!

They tickets go on sale on ticketmaster.com closer to the ceremony some time in the spring. There are generally around $150-$250. As far as dress code, something nice. Seats are generally the far far far far balcony in the back, and in the front for more expensive seats, I believe. I've heard the seats up there aren't bad.

I attended the Tony's back in 1975. It was held at the Shubert Theatre, and back then you had to be invited because there are only around 1500 seats in that theatre. I liked it much better when it was held in a theatre. They are awards for the theatre, after all. It was a very glamorous and exciting evening.
lna is correct. The $125 balcony seats were sold out the first day. Several $349 mezzanine seats were held for random release, but not many. It's black tie formal, though I've seen some girls there before in "party" dresses.

I just realized, your last name is Butz! Both "Norbert" AND "Butz" are in your name! You must have gotten picked on a lot as a child!
Goodness knows we WANT an excuse to dress up, but it's not like we're going to be on the red carpet, so how much is too much for those of us in nose-bleed seats?
I've been checking the Tony website for ticket info, and it has yet to be updated. Is some kind of announcement usually made regarding when tickets ARE available for sale?

And Radio City Music Hall ISN'T a theatre...well, I'll be darned....
I went to the Tony's last year and gave up my tickets for this year (a block of 100)...price increase me tuchas!
You HAVE to wear blacktie, tux's for boys, etc...or they want let you in. No cameras allowed...if you bring one you will have to check it in and can pick it up after the show.

How do they decide who's important enough to get good tickets? And can important people book good tickets for their friends? How do I get to sit next to Bernadette?
