well, what shows are you planning on seeing? if you're planning on seeing shows that're consistently selling out (I believe someone posted a list in your TKTS thread, but it's usually shows like Wicked, Jersey Boys, Billy Elliot and now West Side Story), I would buy them in advance. you don't need to jump on tickets right now, but definitely in advance.
for anything else, Playbill has all the rush and lotto information on their website, and the TDF site has a list of shows that were on the TKTS board the previous week. I'd keep an eye on that, to gauge what you're chances of scoring a discounted ticket are http://www.tdf.org/TDF_SupportPage.aspx?id=68&do=v
hope this helped!
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

If I had to pick two shows? Wow, hard to narrow it down to just two. But I'd say 9 to 5 and Marvelous Wonderettes.
I think 9 to 5 is going to be a "hot ticket" this summer. It's too early to know what discounts will be like and they haven't announced a rush policy that I've seen.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
It depends what you like. What have you seen in the past? What is your favorite musical?
The codes for July are not out yet so unless there is something you REALLY have to see or you need to sit in a particular spot- I would wait a bit to purchase tickets.
I booked for Hair already. I'm also definitely planning on Fuerzabruta and In the Heights (haven't seen it yet) through TKTS.
Heights is sometimes hard to get tickets. It is rarely on TKTS.
I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.

Hmmm...good to know. I was hoping by this time, it might be easier to get. We're on a limited budget this year, so we can't afford full price to everything. We'll probably just have to wait and take our chances. Thanks for the heads-up!

I also would try and get In the Heights beforehand. I did today for June, but with a discount from facebook, and ended up with awesome seats.

Since I'm not going til July, I guess most of the discount codes (if any...hopefully there will be some!) won't be available for shows around that time for a bit...I guess I'll keep checking around every now and then!

In the Heights and Hair would be what I'd see. As an alternate, I'd say Billy Elliot.

I'm putting together my summer trip right now (just bought the third show a few hours ago). So far, I purchased in this order: 9 to 5, Hair, and Next to Normal. Now I want to see something off-Broadway to balance it all out.
