Are people who are trying to exchange their tickets to Funny Girl instead of a refund on performances Lea Michele canceled last minute being uncharged a ridiculous amount for

I think you mean "upcharged," and, unfortunately, that's how all the ticketing outlets handle exchanges, so it's not exclusive to SeatGeek or Jujamcym. No such thing as an "even exchange" with them.

Also, if you're talking about the row A side orchestra partial view seats, those and the other partial views through row F are still regularly priced at $167-$200 through August 9. If you're seeing prices higher than that for those seats before that date, you're looking at resale tickets. The regular price for those seats doesn't go way up until August 11.

BTW, the partial views in the other rows besides A are also great, and definitely worth the cheaper price.

Airlines do this too. Same seat, same flight, different day - you want to change? Pay the difference.

veronicamae: Yes, but when it's the airlines fault they get you on a different flight at no additional charge. I'm asking for the same seat that is available on the same weekday I had originally purchased the ticket.

If there was an issue on MY end and the Venue honored an exchange or if I wanted to upgrade my seat of course, I would be grateful and just pay the difference. But after booking a flight, paying for hotel and spending time traveling being uncharged for the same seat does not sit right and is not what I had in mind when they offered "exchanges."

Imagine Lea isn't going to preform tonight, I know you bought your tickets, planed since November and traveled but don't worry, if you want to try see her just fly back out and we will charge you even more then you already paid to see her preform if you want to "exchange" your tickets.

In another circumstance I would expect to pay the difference but not in this one especially not the way they had presented it. But you can always count on people on this forum to take the opposing side.

TaffyDavenport: Thank you :). Unfortunately the weekdays I'm looking in May are about $275.00 for that seat.

Such outrage! Tickets for shows are not like stocks that grow in value and then you cash them in. Absolutely absurd and entitled hogwash.

I was going to see Funny Girl on the same night you did after flying across the country. My guess is that your effort won’t work. You were offered a refund, just as we were. We took the refund and saw another show.

Someone else would know this better than me. But I have been glancing at future dates, because we may be going back to New York City in August on an unexpected trip. I have noticed that good seats (not as good as yours) pop up a few days before.

Personally, I would take the refund and keep an eye on the date when you’re returning. You might get a good price, better than you would get in an exchange, but may have to have ice in your veins and have a backup plan. It’s not what you want but it may be your best option.

If my advice is wrongheaded, I am sure someone will set me straight.

1. I understand your point, and yes, that sucks.

2. YOU chose not to see the show, so thats the crap that happens.

You are entitled to a refund for the value of what you paid....but the value has gone up.
