Anybody interested in doing me a huge favor? (re: Bye Bye Birdie Tickets) — Page 2

I think I've officially lost my senses. I'm sitting here listening to Allie Trimm belt her butt off on my iPod in front of Henry Miller's Theatre. It's 1AM!!!!

Those people right now on the line must be getting soaked until 10 am. I agree get your rest first before getting a ticket.

We're held up on this odd looking boardwalk that runs the length of the alley beside the theatre. It's covered...

With good reason. Senseless people like you dramadude take the chance of this offer away from everyone else. GREAT job.

7:30am update- not as crowded as I thought it would be at this time. Maybe about 75 people on line right now? Give or take.

And I totally fail to see how dramadude choosing to camp out overnight takes anything away from anyone- I hope you enjoy your lunchbox, and that there are opening night tix inside!

Is there a limit on how many people can get the $10 tickets?

---

2 tickets per person.

It's every seat in the house.

Posting from the end of the line here... we are on 6th between 42nd and 43rd and I was told that there are over 1000 tickets and we should be fine. They are handing out discounts just in case

How did everything go? Who here got tickets/lunchboxes?

Tag-teamed it with Anakela (second shift, I have the day off) and scored seats in the first row of the mezz. Our line # was 56 and by the time I made it to the box office, the best available orchestra seats that the box office was pulling up were in row P on the aisle. Subscriber seats were still blocked out, which surprised me, since they made a big deal out of the offer. Anyhow, it went very smoothly from the time I took over the spot. The breezeway was a lovely location to wait; I feel sorry for the people in line on 42nd Street in that hot sun!

Got there just before 6, and was #20, according to my card. My lunch box, which you see below, had a t-shirt in it.


This was the card you got, telling you your place on line


No opening night tickets, but the man right next to me won. People on line claimed he is a ticket seller, though, because they've seen him "operating" at the Delacorte for Shakespeare in the Park. When the cameras were on him and they asked him questions, he said Bye Bye Birdie was one of his favorite musicals. I took him at face value, because I have no reason to suspect he was anything but genuine. The man to my right seemed quite racist in his remarks about the winner.

They also moved in a lot of the tech equipment this morning, which caused a lot of confusion on where people should line up:




Overall, a very smooth event. I wish I could have seen more of the little ceremony at the doors of the theater, but oh well.

Oh, here's a pic of their Conrad Birdie:
