Anybody interested in doing me a huge favor? (re: Bye Bye Birdie Tickets)

Posted: 8/9/09 at 3:55pm

Hello!

The box office for Bye Bye Birdie opens tomorrow and they are going to be selling $10 for the first preview at the box office only. Unfortunately, I am not going to be in the city/anywhere near the city tomorrow so I won't be able to go and get a ticket. Is there anybody out there that would be kind enough to go and pick up a ticket for me? If you are also getting a ticket for the first preview I would be happy to pay for your ticket as well.

Please PM me!

If this helps they will probably have Hiptix for this production as well.

You don't buy tickets online with a code. You buy them either directly at the box office or by calling - and you just tell them your name, address or confirmation # to confirm you are a hiptix member. I asked the very same question in a previous thread (and other info can be found there as well):

Don't forget, it's a work day. So most adults probably won't be able to line up.

You guys have to remember that the Henry Miller's Theater has a little over 1000 seats, so if you are one of the first 500 people online, you should be fine. I do expect some people to get there very early, but I have a feeling even by 8am there won't be 500 people online (especially considering that it's a work day).

The lunchboxes will probably be gone by 8am though...but the $10 tickets is really why we will all be there.

1 lunchbox will have opening night tickets in it.

8am?! Wow, I was not planning on going that early at all; I was thinking around 10am! I just want tickets.

I hope there won't be a lot of people saving spots in line for others. I hate that.

Seriously? I wasn't planning to get there until 9:30ish. Now I'm not sure this will be such a good idea.

Honestly, I can't make it to the first preview. I just want a lunchbox.

I'm not free to wait in line, though. *pout*

I will be there by 6. I have a feeling that's too late for a lunchbox.

Wow. I may have to settle for spending $10 extra on a ticket from HipTix, because I just can't bring myself to get up that early. It just doesn't seem worth it.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were people out there already. I have to work so I will conveniently take my lunch break and hope I can grab tickets, but some of you guys are too hardcore for me.

People are already there? Jeez.
