Posted: 9/15/09 at 11:44pmThanks bjh, did they say which ten seats they're giving out? I'm guessing either the first row orchestra center or the last row mezz?

Posted: 9/15/09 at 11:52pmThey didn't specify, but I am pretty sure the front row center seats are on sale to the general public through Telecharge. My guess would be the front row side sections in addition to whichever box they aren't using for sound/light equipment.

Posted: 9/16/09 at 8:50amIn Chicago, it was two-and-a-half hours with intermission.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Posted: 10/9/09 at 8:53amThe box office told me when I asked a few weeks ago it was strictly last row mezz for student rush.

Tickets are available on TDF through the end of the run.

I tried to rush the evening performance this past Sunday but all the allotted seats had been sold. Not that it isn't their prerogative in terms of how many rush tickets to provide (and where they're located), but the box office guy was awfully rude and patronizing about it.
I can see having a more restrictive policy if the show is a hit and they're selling at premium prices, but they did 42% capacity last week. Certainly they could have sold a few more rush seats and gotten at least part of the face value back, and had some extra butts in the seats to boot. Hopefully people were allowed to move down if the seats are in the rear mezz.
Just saying... no axe to grind here. I bought a 9th row orchestra seat to FINIAN'S instead and the box office people couldn't have been nicer a block away at the St. James (the show was very enjoyable too).

Posted: 12/30/09 at 2:50pm^ This box office did the same thing with AUGUST. Really doesn't make much sense. But they may just be following the producers' wishes.
