1st People at Spider-Man Box Office refused to buy tickets — Page 3

Just curious where the $400 number came from. I wish that people with negative comments(or positive for that matter)would at least make sure what nonsense they are offering is true. Top price for Spider-Man is $275. Sounds like a very reasonable premium price to me.

You are correct. Row S.

^ Agreed. It actually sounds like the mezzanine and possibly the balcony might be the better seats for this show anyway.

You went to buy tickets for Spiderman, Priest? Does that mean you've reconsidered your opinion of this January when you posted (and I quote):

I hope the Producers and Creators of Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark all get sick of degenerative diseases, and all their offspring are poisoned. This production is an abomination, and I'm done with inexperienced producers' blood-sucking greed, manipulation, and misrepresentations. Unless they refund both plane tickets from Japan and San Francisco, and both hotel accommodations, for a week in February for my friends across the sea, and the west coast, then I wish them all a hellish, doomed production that never recoups. Luckily that last part is certain. Thankfully there is a thread like this, appropriately titled, but not nearly accurately reflective of some peoples' bound frustrations. Until they announce another opening date, which will probably be announced in about 5 or so months, I will pray to God and Jesus, to smite this production with one blow. I hope it NEVER sees the light of day now.

So despite your rants that everyone associated with the show and their children should die painful deaths you want to go see it? Do you think you'll like it?

You already KNOW you hate it and you are going to see it anyway? Is that the picture?

"I hope the Producers and Creators of Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark all get sick of degenerative diseases, and all their offspring are poisoned.

People’s stupidity amazes me.

"Honestly? The "Spiderman" fans are teenage boys who don't particularly like musical theatre, and would much rather have their mothers spend $400 on a new X-Box or Playstation. You can get a lot of games for $400."

I think the movie franchise proves there are more fans than teenage boys. I am in my late 40's, grew up with Spiderman and saw the movies as did most of my friends my age. I think they are banking on more than just teenagers going to see this show. I know I want to see it. I watched the cartoon every Saturday morning.

I sat in the first row Mezz for a show in this theater and I was suprised at how far back it felt. It is a cavernous theater.

+1.

There are people spending $300 to see Madonna perform and Cher and even Jay Z and Eminem. I think if you want to see Julie Taymor, Bono, and The Edge's musical, you're going to have to spend some good money.

I don't understand why some people are throwing so much shade.

I understand these people have money issues but that just means you need to find a less expensive hobby. (or find a friend to comp you into the show) Or go see the TONS of really bad shows Off-off Broadway has to offer for $9.

There better be a lot of spider-man eye candy action! I mean webs coming out of crotches!

As mentioned, I sat 1st row Mezz and the view was perfect for the show I saw. Just don't lay your Playbill on the "ledge" or an usher will make you remove it...or Patti will appear out of thin air and kick it in your face! I thought I commited a major crime but I realized that they were worried about Playbills falling on patrons below.

just instead of being mad about the premium tickets just wait for the cheaper ones! I would purchase 2 tickets (non-premium since I'm a student)but I would like to see a clip of the show on broadway world first.I love comic books,Theatre and U2 but not really Julie Taymor *gasp* but I'll give anything/anyone a second chance.
