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

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.

They do have Hiptix. I got the email a few weeks ago

I'm a Hiptix member and didn't get an E-mail about Birdie tix. Is their another way I can buy Hiptix?

How does Hiptix work?

You sign up for the membership (it's free)
they send u e-mails then u use the code they give u to buy tickets for $21.50

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):

Does anyone know what time people would start getting there? Is 8 AM good?

[RyToast1]

Posted: 8/9/09 at 9:33pm

I know a few people getting there earlier than 8....like way earlier.

yeah chita i was about to ask how early people are getting there

dont see why people would wake at the crack of dawn for a good ol lunchbox!

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

8AM?! For a lunchbox?!?!

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. Updated On: 8/9/09 at 10:36 PM

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'm getting there around 5:45.

[adamgreer]

Posted: 8/9/09 at 11:08pm

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

[#1Elphie]

Posted: 8/9/09 at 11:19pm

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.

Just walked by about 20 minutes ago and saw about 10 people on line already

Um.

[sundayclothes2]

Posted: 8/10/09 at 1:10am

People are already there? Jeez.

Well, if anybody wants to pick up a ticket for me my offer still stands and I will pay for yours as well!
