Thanks to connections, I have my order in. Sitting in the balcony. Not sure that what my seats are going for are the amount being charged to the general public but they are above $150.00. I was told the price went up this year.
I feel like tickets went on sale via ticketmaster last year in early May. I ended up having to get mine on Ebay, though, because even though I started trying as soon as it hit 9am, they were gone!
I was told a tux isn't required. I was going to just do a suit and tie. But I am going to a funtion at Tavern on the Green the next evening so I will have a tux. Maybe I will just wear it to the awards.
I went a few years ago (the year THE PRODUCERS and PROOF won everything) and was unimpressed. I don't like going to awards shows personally (I've also been to the Oscars twice; big bores both times). I'd much rather be at home in my sweats with a bowl of popcorn than wearing a stuffy suit in the fourth ring of some theatre. Plus, at home I can mute the acceptance speeches.
